Not having to catch a flight or drive 5 hours is a huge bonus especially since I am travelling with kids.
The ability to sail Royal Caribbean (Liberty of the Seas - Dreamworks Cruise) or Disney out of Galveston is pretty big.

Royal Carribean is marginally nicer but probably not worth the extra cost and drive time IMO.
What ship are you referring to?
The Liberty of the Seas (especially out of Dry Dock last year) is pretty amazing. Two big water slides, the Flowrider, ice skating, unlimited alcohol packages (as opposed to limited package), HUGE kids water play area and generally a better clientele.
I will say the staff on Carnival is great and while on board we thought we got better service with carnival but the ship, entertainment, clientele and pool deck was much better on Liberty of the Seas.
Food is about a wash but if I had to pick I'd say main dining room food on the dream is slightly better, specialty dining on Liberty is better and buffet I'd lean Liberty as well.

Never been on Liberty of the Seas so I can't compare directly with Carnival Dream. Just pointing out that the iteneraries are pretty much identical from NOLA and Galveston. I would probably make the drive for a Disney cruise with kids but Disney is only in Galveston Nov-Jan when we typically have too much family stuff to do.
Getting to sea earlier from Galveston is a good feature if you are eager for the casino to open. But from New Orleans I really enjoyed having an elevated view while the ship navigates the bends of the Mississippi river and having drinks on the deck while the skyline of New Orleans fades.
First-time cruisers from southeast LA can't go wrong with Carnival Dream.
