My partner and I will be traveling out of NoLa to key west, freeport, and Nassau. Anyone else going?

I'm cruising the dream after you guys. Try not to mess it up too bad for me ;)

I called the Hampton back and they offered me their cruise package (not sure why they hadn't offered it before) which includes parking on their lot for $14/day and a reduced room rate with complimentary shuttle to the terminal. So I think that is the way we will be going.

Thank you all

So when the smokers can't smoke in the privacy of their balcony, they will go to the public areas and crowd the few spots there. Not every smoker likes to smoke indoors. I do not smoke, but I have booked a balcony room just for the smoking reason. My partner went on his first cruise 2 years ago on the Magic and was enraged that there were only 3 outdoor smoking areas. 2 had chairs and tables to sit at and one was standing room only. the two sections that had tables were always packed with people and some were not even smoking in those sections. I don't see the problem with letting a smoker have their pleasure in the privacy of their own balcony. Better than doing it in public with all the asthmatic people around....

and I agree about the "old lady perfume"

"Excuse me ma'am, could you please wash off a little before continuing your stroll and fumigating the ship. We do not have a mosquito problem on board."

how far is the carnival terminal from Hampton? We are thinking about parking at Fulton and staying at Hampton two nights before the cruise. There are a total of 12 guests half in their 50's and 60's. just wondering if Carnival Dream would be in walking distance for us all. I couldn't tell from the Satellite image.
