Galveston ist eine Küstenresortstadt auf Galveston Island und Pelican Island im US-Bundesstaat Texas. Die Gemeinde mit einer Fläche von 208,3 Quadratmeilen (539 km²) und einer Bevölkerung von 47.762 Menschen (Schätzung der Volkszählung von 2012) ist der Verwaltungssitz und die zweitgrößte Gemeinde des Galveston County. Sie liegt im Großraum Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land.
Benannt nach Bernardo de Gálvez y Madrid, Graf von Gálvez (geboren in Macharaviaya, Spanien), wurden die ersten europäischen Siedlungen auf der Insel Galveston um 1816 von dem französischen Piraten Louis-Michel Aury errichtet, um der jungen Republik Mexiko im Kampf gegen Spanien zu helfen. Der Hafen von Galveston wurde 1825 vom Kongress von Mexiko nach dessen Unabhängigkeit von Spanien gegründet. Die Stadt war der Hauptstützpunkt der texanischen Marine während der texanischen Revolution und diente später als Hauptstadt der Republik Texas.
Im 19. Jahrhundert entwickelte sich Galveston zu einem bedeutenden Handelszentrum der USA und einem der größten Häfen des Landes. Es wurde durch den Galveston-Hurrikan von 1900 verwüstet, dessen Auswirkungen Überschwemmungen und eine Sturmflut umfassten. Die Naturkatastrophe auf der exponierten Barriereinsel gilt immer noch als die tödlichste in der Geschichte der Vereinigten Staaten, mit einer geschätzten Zahl von 6.000 bis 12.000 Todesopfern.
Ein Großteil der Wirtschaft von Galveston konzentriert sich auf den Tourismus, das Gesundheitswesen, den Schiffsverkehr und die Finanzindustrie. Der 84 Hektar (340.000 m²) große Campus der University of Texas Medical Branch mit mehr als 2.500 eingeschriebenen Studenten ist eine bedeutende wirtschaftliche Kraft der Stadt. Galveston beherbergt sechs historische Bezirke, die eine der größten und historisch bedeutendsten Sammlungen von Gebäuden aus dem 19. Jahrhundert in den Vereinigten Staaten enthalten, mit über 60 Strukturen, die im National Register of Historic Places aufgeführt sind.

Departure: 17:00
CocoCay or Little Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, is one of the Berry Islands, a collection of cays and small islands, and is located approximately 55 miles north of Nassau. It is used for tourism by Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd exclusively. Little Stirrup Cay is adjacent to Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian Cruises' private island since 1977.
In 2019, the island was extensively renovated by Royal Caribbean at the cost of $250 million USD. A pier was constructed on the north side of the island, which allows cruise ships to dock directly instead of using tenders. The east end is the center of recreational activities with beaches fronting a coral basin where manatee, rays, and numerous fish can be seen. Nature trails run the entire length and width of the island. The renovation also included a water park, with North America’s largest water slide, Daredevil’s Peak.

The Bahama Islands are an archipelago consisting of about 2,000 islands if you include the cays, which are small islands that are formed on coral reefs. Nassau, on New Providence, is the capital of the Bahamas and features a mixture of colourful Neo-colonial 19th century buildings and modern hotel resorts. Nassau is situated on the northern end of New Providence, dominating the bay between the main island and Paradise Island. The vast majority of the country's population lives in Nassau on New Providence Island and in the Freeport area on Grand Bahama.
Nassau features a mixture of colourful Neo-colonial 19th century buildings and modern hotel resorts. The colonial beauty of the Historical Town of Nassau is worth a visit. The pink Parliament Building, which has a statue of an enthroned Queen Victoria out front, is the most beautiful sight in Nassau. The Pirate Museum is also a major attraction in Nassau. The interactive museum tells of the history of pirates. The City of Nassau is landscaped in a beautiful tropical setting. Local foliage is purely enchanting and the array of tropical plants they have maintained here definitely add to the charm of the country.
