Royal Beach Club Santorini

We stopped by Willie G’s right on the water in Galveston. It’s an upscale spot, but it still feels very welcoming. You get a clear view of the harbor while you eat. We actually watched the boats come in while we waited for our food.
The menu focuses on fresh seafood caught in the Gulf. They have plenty of options like raw oysters and grilled redfish. The service was quick and the staff really knew the menu. It is a bit pricey, but it is a solid choice for a nice dinner.

Travel series
This series follows our journey to Texas and beyond, starting in Houston and Galveston before boarding Harmony of the Seas for a Western Caribbean adventure. It’s our first time sailing on an Oasis Class ship, and our first time exploring this corner of the Caribbean, so everything feels a little bigger, louder, and more curious than usual. Before the cruise even begins, we spend a few days wandering Houston and Galveston—eating well, poking around local spots, and easing into travel mode—then it’s off to sea to see how this mega-ship and this region live up to their reputations. Big ship, new destinations, first impressions only.
