the Galveston terminal is posted 30.6/30.07.
Probably illegally.
First hand knowledge?Once you enter the waters of another nation, you're subject to their laws. You do NOT want to be in the prison of most other countries, trust me.
The police in Mexico catch you with a gun you’ll be thrown in a Mexican jail if you don’t pay them off with $40.
He's a bad negotiator then. My girlfriend and I got detained in Chapultepec park in Mexico city one time. Paid the police all we had on them and got to leave. When we got back to her sister's house and told her the story, she was pissed at US for paying them so much.Prices have gone up...$40 won’t get you out of a jaywalking ticket.
15 years ago it cost my buddy $500 when he was caught peeing in an alley in Cabo.

What is illegal about it?Probably illegally.
IIRC, it’s actually posted at the entrance to the secure area. And you’re right, it is posted illegally as the secure area of a cruise terminal isn’t the same thing as an airport. I’m also not sure if the secure area is considered a federal facility.

What is illegal about it?
There’s a thing called maritime law. Attorneys study it and study the criteria to meet certain qualifications of acceptable boundaries usually when it comes down to trade agreements and shipping lanes. Generally, so long as the captain of the vessel has no issue with you being armed – you’re fine If the captain of the ship forbids passengers from being armed – that’s the law. Concealed carry may not apply depending upon the vessel.
A country is theoretically only able to claim sovereignty over the waters to a certain extent. If the ship you are traveling upon is flagged as a non-US vessel, you become subject to the laws and restrictions of that country once you pass into international waters. So, for instance, if your cruise ship is flagged under Barbados, you are now under the penalty of that country’s laws should you be found to be in violation of any crimes of that country. At sea, the captain of the vessel is arguably the chief officer of the law. He can confine you to quarters or – in the extreme and not commonly done – even exile you from the vessel (“walk the plank”) if he sees you as a threat to himself, the vessel, its crew, or its other occupants. That’s his discretion and he has to theoretically answer for it once he returns to shore.
So the core facet you need to remember if you carry concealed out into international waters: at the discretion of the captain of the vessel.
If YOU are the captain of the vessel, you dictate those rules. You can have any type of small arms munitions and firearms governed under several treaties and conventions that you can research on your own. The summary of that: if you’re the captain, carry concealed as you wish.
