We are also leaving on the March 25 cruise from New Orleans , and I have also been worried about this same thing!

I have been checking, and right now the flood warning is from Mar. 13 - Mar. 22. So I'm sure it will be fine.

you should have no problems.

Thank you.

The Mississippi rises every year in the spring with the spring rains and melting Northern snow. Nothing to be concerned about.

Thank you. That is what I was hoping to hear we are from Canada so don't know a lot of what is normal for that area.

So there are 6 of using flying into New Orelans on Mar. 21, and leaving from New Orleans on Mar 25 for our cruise. One of the people we are traveling with posted that there is a flood warning for New Orleans I have added what I could find. How concerned with this should we be?
