Answer 3

I don't see any that are departing from Houston.  NCL used to have a ship based in Houston, but no longer.

Galveston is near by and is an active home port.  Carnival has two ships based there, the Conquest which does a one week cruise running from Sunday to Sunday and the Ecstasy which does four and five night cruises.

Royal Caribbean also has a ship in Galveston - part time.

The Rhapsody of the Seas leaves in September and is not replaced until December by the Voyager of the Seas.  Then the Voyager of the Seas leaves in April and does not return until the following December.

Answer 4

The closest departure port to Houston is the Port of Galveston.  The Port of Galveston has invested in some much needed upgrades to host the cruise ships.

There are three cruise ships that depart from Galveston.

Carnival has 4- and 5-days cruises on the Ecstasy and 7-day cruises on the Conquest.

Royal Caribbean is in the process of moving the Rhaposody of the Seas out of the Galveston market and will replace it with the Voyager of the Seas in December, 2007.

Of the three, we recommend the Conquest.  The itinerary is exhausting with the 3 ports of call back-to-back, but the Conquest provides a smoother ride than the smaller Ecstasy and I was not pleased with the service on the Royal Carribean.

You can use the search engine on www.vacationstogo.com to search for cruises departing from specific ports.  

Also, fairly close  to Houston, New Orleans offers cruises on the Carnival Fasination and Norwegian Spirt.
