Thank you Saint Greg. We will be in New Orleans the day before and after our Jan. 21-28, 2024 cruise on the Breakaway. Not our first cruise out of NOLA. Last time we stayed at the Hilton Riverside but the cost is way over our budget this time. We love New Orleans, my husband's roots goes back to the early 1720's, first Census on Rue Royal.

Has anyone stayed at the Mercantile Hotel on St. Peters? Is it within walking distance ( with carry on luggage only) to the NCL cruise terminal?

I booked our upcoming cruise straight thru NCL (person that answered the phone). Upgraded the same way. Got a phone call several night ago from our newly appointed PPC, extremely nice your lady. We talked for awhile about cruising AND she asked to to wait just a minute and came back and told me she had gotten us and extra 10% off the cruise. And if I found a price drop to contact her and she would see we got that. She also told us we could book dinner venues and shore excursions with her when they become available. I do not know if the fact we a platinum status ( one more cruise away from sapphire ) made a difference. Hopefully she is getting credit but working FOR us none the less

Grand Isle has very good food. Shrimp and grits, yummy. The prices can be expensive
