Simplertimes Posted January 25, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hello - we're staying at the Drury Inn. Is is easy to walk to the ship from there? Having rolling luggage, so no lugging heavy bags. We are in good shape, so a small distance wouldn't be a problem. Just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlb76 Posted January 25, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2012 We stayed there before and had not issue walking to Riverwalk (no luggage in tow). The Riverwalk is close to the port but you ahve to go down around the convention center and there are no sidewalks or anything from what I could tell in the cab. I have read over and over not to attempt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World Gallery Posted January 25, 2012 #3 Share Posted January 25, 2012 No, that wouldn't be the best idea. While it is not far, it is not close enough to walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryAnn261 Posted January 26, 2012 #4 Share Posted January 26, 2012 It's 8-10 blocks and it would be hard to manage luggage. We have walked to Harrah's (1-2 blocks from port) and I wouldn't want to be taking luggage too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinwithsisters Posted January 28, 2012 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2012 We got off the Voyager Jan 2012. We walked (and mom rode her scooter) to JW Marriot on Canal Street. We used a luggage service, from these boards to have out luggage delivered to the hotel. Advancecheckin.com $25.00 for 5 bags or $5 a bag. The streets are very uneven and you have the RR Crossings to roll over. It can be done though. I would walk rather than then pay the $7.00 per person flat fee to take a cab......

skipp Posted January 31, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 31, 2012 It is at least a dozen blocks and too far to walk with luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgmpuma Posted January 31, 2012 #8 Share Posted January 31, 2012 If you are in reasonably good shape, not hauling a ton of luggage, and the weather cooperates, it isn't a bad walk, and you can avoid a lot of auto traffic at the terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingee Posted February 2, 2012 #9 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I have walked from Drury Inn to Riverwalk Mall (next to port) before. Now we weren't pulling any luggage though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helicopter Posted February 2, 2012 #10 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Don't know how many people you have, but I would pay the $7.00 for a taxi for sure. Because we had 7 people, taxi would have been 49.00 plus tip, so my son drove us to the port with luggage and dropped us off, then went back to Drury and rode a taxi to meet us back at the port:) very easy to do.

rvsullivan Posted February 2, 2012 #11 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Wow!! $7 per person seems awfully steep. Three years in a row now, cab from Canal St has been $5-7 for two of us not each. I would not walk, to far, uneven walks and some parts of it have no sidewalks at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
