grimpil Posted January 31, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2020 First time cruising out of NOLA so staying for a few days after our cruise. Looking at booking walking tour for 1030 the morning of disembarkation as our hotel room may not be ready. I recall reading something about delays related to river traffic and fog (i could be mixing it up with galveston). According to itinerary it says we arrive at 0800, what are your experiences with arrival times or delays, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We typically do the self walk-off and are to our car by 8:30am and on the road. I think you will have plenty of time to make your 1030 tour.

Rare Saint Greg Posted February 2, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Eight times out of New Orleans and no delays. The fog delays I’m aware of are out of Galveston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgmpuma Posted February 3, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 3, 2020 A tribute to the pilots who bring the ships back and forth between the City and the mouth of the Mississippi. Nothing stops them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dthogue Posted February 12, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2020 do you think could make an 11:30 flight ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyislandwilldo Posted January 31, 2021 #7 Share Posted January 31, 2021 We walked out to the street for a taxi and there was a bunch of taxis stuck in a line. We noticed a cab driver in the street and asked if we could get a ride. We jumped in his taxi and he maneuvered around the traffic jam and we were on our way to the airport. Sometimes walking a little further pays off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an 11:25 flight and was off the ship at 8:30, and through security at the airport by 9:20....there was literally no one in line but me, of course that was a lucky break but even if there was a line I was still there 2 hours early.

dillydilly Posted December 6, 2021 #10 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Do you think we can make the 9:15 Amtrak or should we look for an alternative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgmpuma Posted December 8, 2021 #11 Share Posted December 8, 2021 The Amtrak station is only about 15 blocks from the cruise terminal. Should not be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruzCra-Z Posted February 8, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) does anyone know what the earliest is that you can debark? We carry our own luggage. We want to rent a vehicle and leisurely drive home and need to figure out a pick up time. Also what rent-a-car places are closest to the port? thanks *** EDIT - ok I just saw above someone have been off the boat by 8:30. Any rent-a-car recommendations near?

bigrednole Posted February 9, 2022 #14 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Fog can delay getting into port as well. A little while back I remember hearing a cruise was delayed about 4 hours for disembarkation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
