My wife and I have sailed on RCCL from Galveston numerous times. I am not familiar with the pilot polices as indicated in the article, but I think that Galveston raising prices could force RCCL, and perhaps other cruise lines, from sailing from Galveston and that would severely hurt business on an island recovering from a recent devastating hurricane.

I do believe they have a new port in the Seabrook area that RCCL would love to use at a cost reduction. In today's environment certainloy the Galveston Pilot's shoulodn't be asking for more $$$$, they're over-paid as is.

Daily Horoscope for December 24

Aquarius

Keep calm and all will be well. You're feeling slightly fraught because there are so many demands on your time, and it won't help if you're trying to juggle some last-minute chores with some fun-filled social events. Get others to lend you a hand, or tell yourself that perfection is not an option right now and that you'll have to scale down your preparations accordingly.
