CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Downtown Corpus Christi had a few roads blocked early on Saturday morning.

It was a safety precaution while two flag poles were set up using a Blackhawk Helicopter. Leaders with the Ed Rachal foundation were behind the installation of two 110 foot flagpoles on top of the two buildings they own. One of those is Frost Bank.

Royal Caribbean Opens New Cruise Terminal in Galveston, Texas


By Alison Fox
Published on November 10, 2022

Royal Caribbean International officially opened its brand-new zero energy cruise terminal in Galveston, Texas, this week, prepared to welcome hundreds of thousands of vacationers to set sail from there.

The new terminal, a $125 million project, will generate 100% of the energy it needs through onsite solar panels, Royal Caribbean shared with Travel + Leisure. The company estimates the new terminal, which will be home to the more than 5,400-guest Allure of the Seas ship, will see as many as 630,000 travelers pass through each year.

“We are thrilled to take family vacations to a whole new level in Texas. Our new, 161,334-square-foot terminal opens up a world of vacation possibilities for families in the Southwest,” Michael Bayley, the president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International, said in a statement shared with T+L. “Now our unmatched Oasis Class ships, known as the best family vacations in the industry, can set sail from Galveston. Allure of the Seas is just the beginning, and we thank the Port of Galveston, Ceres and all the teams involved for making this bold vision a reality.”
Carnival will also continue to sail from Galveston for at least 17 more years.
