Is the Magic to big for New Orleans?

[deborahjo]

Just wondering if the port does not open can the Magic go into New Orleans?

[Raven Days]

It could....the Dream is around the same size and that's the Dreams home port.

Magic is same class as the Dream and since the Dream is arriving and Homporting in NOLA starting next month then I'd say yes the Magic could get into NOLA if needed. But hopefully Galveston will open up the Harbor and at least let the Magic and RCI ship in today.

Hoping it will open but just looking at where the Magic may have to dock if they cannot open the port.

Over on Princess they were told at 12:33 that they were more then likely not leaving today. Means channel will not be opened.

There's a 6+ hour drive between Galveston and NOLA. I wouldn't think they'd want to do that unless absolutely necessary. Bringing passengers 370 miles from their vehicles would stink, not to mention the folks waiting to board.

I am currently on Magic. Been anchored since 4:30 am. We are one hour outside Galveston. Many many ships out here. Royal Caribbean is next to us. No word as of right now what they plan to do. They opened up shops and casinos.

Guess they have to keep that money coming in somehow. LOL Hope you gets news soon.

Yes, New Orleans can handle the Dream. It was either the Voyager or the Navigator of the Seas that was in NO for a while. They are both 138,000 ton vessels.

Both Cruise ships have come in to Galveston. RCI is boarding tonight, Carnival is boarding tomorrow.
