A: the Carnival shuttle gets you off early and they will even transport your luggage to the airport
Answered by mary0909 on September 4, 2024
A: Not difficult at all. We took Uber, just a lot of congestion with people leaving and another group arriving- but was not a problem. Lots of taxi lined up as well, not sure their costs however.
Answered by jimpaxson9 on September 5, 2024
A: There are taxis waiting when you exit the Carnival terminal. IMO, a taxi was way easier than trying to find your specific Uber driver. Just get in the taxi line and they tell you where to go. Can’t miss it.
Answered by bstrasner on September 4, 2024

A: There’s the original Cafe’ du Monde in the French Quarter on Decatur St. If you go there, you’ll be at ground zero for the great things New Orleans is most known for. You’ll likely hear the street music and see horse drawn carriages and street perfor... mers from there. The historic St. Louis Cathedral will be within your line of sight as well. If you go to a mall, you’ll not experience the ambiance that New Orleans has to offer.See More

A: there is a Cafe de mondu in the shopping mall at the cruise port
Answered by lordtommysstuff on October 16, 2023
A: For Beignets, it has to be Cafe Du Monde. The original location is in the French Quarter on Dacatur Street. However, there is another location in the Riverwalk shops that is located right at the Port! You can sip coffee and enjoy your beignets whil... e staring out the windows at your ship.See More
Answered by jlynlevis on October 17, 2023
A: To many things to list. Cafe de Monde is great. Bourbon street is an adventure. Restaurants, to many to list. My go tos are Ruby Slipper for breakfast, Vampire Cafe for lunch, and Redfish for dinner. But honestly, anywhere in the French quarte... r is good.See More

A: You have to have a Gumbo. We had a food tour around NO town and Gumbo was on the tour, it’s great.

A: In your case, you should have checked it when you boarded and prior to your departure. OBC can come in many ways, some of which may not show on your precruise paperwork. If it doesn't show in Hub app, then contact Guest Services or if you booked thr... ough a travel agent them. You have to use it on board or lose it. It should have shown in final.See More

A: have you already completed your cruise and left the ship?
Answered by jallaway on August 28, 2023
A: you should have checked it when you boarded, not when you are already home! If you did not recieve it, there is nothing you can do now. Lesson learned for next time!
Answered by crusin4gramma on August 29, 2023
A: You should post more info in your initial request in the future. it is not always clear what cruiseline or when.
Answered by dkantouth on August 29, 2023

A: The port would probably be the best! I believe the Hilton Riverside offers a stay park cruise package. It’s 2 minutes from the port. Maybe give them a call.
Answered by Nolabeauty on March 29, 2023
A: the Hilton is right there at the waterfront and is walkable to the port (if there's bad weather, you can go through the adjacent outlet mall. and FYI there's a Cafe Du Monde location in that mall!)the official cruise parking lot is reasonably priced,... but it's worth looking to see if the Hilton has a room-and-parking promo.See More

A: we have stayed at the Embassey Suites in Baton Rouge, less than an hour away, but we drive from Dallas.
Answered by roag002AG on March 30, 2023
A: We always like to stay at the Embassy Suites. Close to the port, which is the best place to park when cruising from New Orleans.
Answered by pwhalen on March 30, 2023
A: Parked at Cruise Terminal for four cruises with no problems in New Orleans. Cost a little more but worth it and very convenient for us.
Answered by MrCRUISER444 on March 30, 2023
A: Thank you! We want to park at the port for the cruise. I've read a lot of reports about cars getting robbed so I'd like gated parking. Might stay at a hotel in a nearby city.
Answered by Tennlady on March 29, 2023
Q: I booked my hotel precruise months ago. It’s near the cruise port (within 1-2 miles) it’s a well known chain. Anyone know the area well before I start calling every one of them? Thanks (my computer got wiped clean that’s where I had the info)

A: My email accounts on my phone only contain recent emails. I cannot access older emails on my phone either. Use a laptop or desktop computer to log into the email account to access folders that have older emails. 🤞

A: oh my! Just one more reason to not get an iphone! sorry it looks like you will be making some calls.
Answered by crusin4gramma on January 29, 2023
A: It was the Marriott! Thank you all for your help
Answered by jenyfur on January 30, 2023
A: Do you not have an account with the major chain. if you log in it would show as a future trip.
Answered by dkantouth on January 29, 2023
A: would it be on your credit card statement?
Answered by debrabraddock on January 28, 2023
A: You’d think I could access my email but on my iPhone it won’t let me look at my folder that I put it. Only desktop
Answered by jenyfur on January 28, 2023
A: we used Fulton Garage in NOLA. make sure you eithe print/store documents if pre-paid. can be a hassle retrieving later. cheaper usually when paid before arrival
Answered by Spyder2018 on November 29, 2022
A: We use airport port parking .com and it allowed us to choose Fulton garage and make a reservation on their page
Answered by indianabahamamama on November 29, 2022
A: Same, have used Fulton Street multiple times. I've had very good luck. Only $10/day if you park on the roof. The shuttle has always been quick for me, it's also possible to walk to the terminals if you'd like some excercise.
Answered by tomterrific6 on November 25, 2022
A: We always park at the Fulton Garage. It’s a few dollars cheaper per day and there is a fee shuttle to the port. They will also check your luggage for you
Answered by SDCummings26 on November 25, 2022
A: We always park at the Fulton Parking Garage at 901 Convention Blvd. and shuttle to and from the port..
Answered by colreb1947yahoocom on November 24, 2022
A: Another vote for Fulton! book online and save at least $5 more. I haven't booked in a while but believe you still get to them through airportparkingreservations.com for the coupon. Enjoy
Answered by dkantouth on November 26, 2022
A: parked at the port. easy in and out. not too expensive ($150)
Answered by pcbbeachbum on November 26, 2022
A: It depends on where you park. Off site parking can be as cheap as $14 a day. The parking garage at the terminal was $22 a day the last time we cruised from there. Be aware though, in New Orleans, you get what you pay for. For security and convenience... , we will always park in the garage. It is "first come, first served."See More
Answered by smstone32 on October 15, 2022
A: from what I've seen parking garages run anywhere from 12.50 to 15. per day
Answered by JanetM2018 on October 15, 2022
A: We use Machu Picchu. http://machupicchutours.com. You reserve online, Angel contacts you if he has space available. You pay when you get there. It’s very secure, in garage parking and they provide a free shuttle to and from the port. We’ve been using... them since 2017.See More
