Every good pirate should get out on the high seas every so often, Royal Caribbean is making that easier for my cowboy hat pirates of Texas.

Port of Galveston has seen some cruise ships come and go using it as homeport. With Carnival’s mishap and hiccups earlier this year it left the port down one ship and lots of visitors. Disney Cruise Line currently has a ship ported in Galveston thru the end of the year. Royal Caribbean Cruise Line has announced it will be returning to Galveston and staying put for a while and into 2014. With holiday sailings starting in November the Navigator of the Seas will make its 2013 Texas debut. In January the ship will undergo an extensive refurbishment adding new restaurants, new view options for staterooms and the ever popular FlowRider a surfing simulator and then return to Galveston for year round sailings offering Texas families vacation opportunities to be WOW’ed.
