Allegiant Air to start flights from New Orleans to Orlando, Indianapolis, other cities

Las Vegas-based airliner Allegiant will move into New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport next year, starting seasonal direct flights to Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and Columbus, Ohio and year-round flights to Orlando, the company announced Tuesday.

For those who are thinking about going on a cruise out of New Orleans, it appears that Allegiant will start having new flights to and from New Orleans.

Do single people sail on cruises to Alaska?

 

Any singles planning to go on Carnival Miracle June 11 2013 to Alaska?

I am single and I am usually a solo traveler. An Alaskan cruise is one of the trips I would like to do soon.

Thanks for all the replies

When I went to Cancun one year, I got really sick due to the heat and food poisoning. My doctor told me to travel smart (not travelling when it is hot as hell), eat and drink right and when possible, bring vitamins to help keep sure I am getting enough.

I am just wondering why you believe they would not let you take vitamins with you on board.....??? It is not like they are illegal drugs..... ;)

I just wanted to double check to keep sure NCL didn't have some stupid rule about me bringing vitamins on the ship.

I am flying into Miami, FL from New Orleans and sailing on the Norwegian Getaway. Will NCL allow me to bring a unopened bottle of One A Day VitaCraves Gummies onto the ship?

If you do not know what One A Day VitaCraves Gummies are, it falls into the same group of Flintstone vitamins.

Thanks for starting this thread since I am shaving my head for the St. Baldrick's Foundation one week before my cruise.

I have been on the Norwegian Spirit out of New Orleans (April 1, 2012) and the Norwegian Epic (April 4, 2013). Both times, they had buckets of beer.

I wonder why?

When I travel (not including travelling by car), I always bring my driving license and my passport. Better be safe than sorry.

I almost never gamble even through I live near Boomtown Casino in Harvey, LA and Harrah's Casino in New Orleans, LA.

But the last two cruises I been on (Norwegian Getaway out of New Orleans, LA and Norwegian Epic out of Miami, FL), I met people that were on a free cruise because they are regulars at one of the Harrah's Casinos.

A retractable roof does not mean NYC.

A retractable roof means that the roof will be retractable and nothing else :D

Have you ever used the American Express reward points to book a cruise? If so, how easy/hard was it? And how many points did you have to use?

I would love for one of the ships to be base out of New Orleans and during hurricane season, out of Seattle for the Alaska cruises. If not Norwegian Escape or Norwegian Bliss, I would love for one of NCL's "older" ships that have the Studio Cabins to be base out of New Orleans.

I know a lot of single people of all ages in New Orleans area that would go on a cruise out of New Orleans if they did not have to pay double occupancy rates. And if one of the cruise ships that have the Studio Cabins will do the Alaska cruises during the summer time, I would do that cruise in a heart beat.

I have heard stories that some hotels have free parking while you are on a cruise.

One of my friends from Where's George (I met her at two different gatherings) was telling me that the reason that her and her husband stay at the Holiday Inn in Metairie, LA when they go their cruises out of New Orleans is that they can leave their car at the Holiday Inn for free while they are on their cruise. I do not know how they get too and from the port.

I might misunderstood so if this is something you may want to do, please double check the information.

I am staying at the Sofitel Hotel in Miami, FL in April. I am just wondering if there are any good Irish Pubs in Miami?

I heard today that Norwegian Cruise Line is building two new ships: Norwegian Escape and Norwegian Bliss.

I am wondering if anybody heard what ports they will be base out of? Also, will they have the Studio Cabins like the Epic, Getaway and Breakaway does?

New Orleans' Louis Armstrong Airport (MSY) gains nonstop flight to Seattle

I hope this is the correct forum to post this in. I am guessing that cruise air means the forum is for flights (aka planes)?

Beginning this summer, Louis Armstrong International Airport* will add a nonstop flight to Seattle, airport officials announced Tuesday (Feb. 11).

This is good news for people that lives in Southeast Louisiana that wants to go on an Alaskan cruise and for people in Seattle who wants to go on a cruise out of New Orleans.

*Louis Armstrong International Airport (located in Kenner, LA) is the major airport for New Orleans, LA.

I also want to mention that the St. Joseph Catholic Church in Gretna, LA usually has a St. Joseph's Altar on St. Joseph's Day. I believe some of the other Catholic Churches do it too but not all Catholic Churches do it.

For booming cruise ship industry, Hotard offers bus service to Port of New Orleans

To accommodate customers of New Orleans' expanding cruise ship industry, the Hotard motor coach Company last week began offering a shuttle service from locations in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama to the steps of the Julia Street Cruise Terminal.

I thought some of you would want to know this information.

Irish and Italian parades

Here is a list of most of the Irish parades and Italian parades.

Also, the Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Club will be having their block party at St. Michael’s Special School from 10AM to 6PM. This block party is a benefit for the school.

Mardi Gras Parade Schedule 2014

Mardi Gras Season starts on January 6 and this year, Mardi Gras Day (aka Fat Tuesday) is on March 4, 2014.

If you are going on a cruise out of New Orleans, be aware that you may need to get from your hotel to the cruise ship and plan your schedule and route around the Mardi Gras parades.

Also in March, there will be St. Patrick's Day Parades and St. Joseph's Day Parades.

My sister-in-law's grandmother wanted information about the Studio Cabins. What information do you think I should share with her? How would you describe the Studio Cabins?

If you have pictures, I will print them out to give it too her.

On one hand, you need to save money for the future (including emergencies that will happen) and in the other hand, nobody lives forever so you got to enjoy life. So the hardest thing to learn is how to balance out both sides.

Things I Didn’t Know Until I Left New Orleans

I thought some of you would also like this article.

With Number 1 (Bars Close), some bars do close and others are open 24/7 in Southeast Louisiana.

Actually, I been in one bar in Avondale, LA that had three happy hours a day (happy hour is something like 9AM to 10AM, 5PM to 6PM and 1AM to 2AM). The reason I found out is that one of the major businesses in the community is open 24/7 so the bar decided to have happy hour after every shift. So no matter if you are working the first shift, the second shift or the third shift, you could always stop a happy hour drink.

One thing I do to help save money for my cruise is if the Serial Number on a one dollar bill starts with the letter "B", I put it aside for my cruise.

Of course this idea will not work out unless you handle a lot of one dollar bills (bartenders, waiters/waitresses, est.). I am into Where's George so that is why I handle a lot of one dollar bills.

You can think this idea over and adapted it to your money habits.
