Greg, did you ever take one of those night time ghost tours? That's something I would like to do when we visit there some day. I have not. But one time I was eating at a restaurant in the FQ with open windows and one of the ghost tours made a stop on the corner so I got to hear some of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Sort of. Also because Lynyrd Skynyrd is from Jacksonville. Me too. But I still haven't figured out why we use a song about Alabama as our official song. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha @tpooleinjax I just quoted my own post for your answer.....but....I THINK that's what I have heard around my neck of the woods from living in Fernandina from age 5-25 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynyrd Skynyrd bandmates were all classmates at Lee High School in the 70's and they named the band after their gym teacher I believe, Leonard Skinner. They also used to practice in a place called "hell house" located in Green Cove Springs where I live now. There's a lot of their history in this area and several of the family members still live around here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Miller, Geechy Guy, Carl Faulkenberry, and Ron Josol. But yeah the way they did it seemed stale. And none of them were super great. I rank them Geechy, Faulkenberry, Miller, Josol.

It was suggested to me to ask you about the comedians on the Pride for April 10, 2022. We sailed the first week in February on the Pride and we are hoping the comedians will be different than the ones featured on my previous cruise. Thanks.

They should be different. I know Carl Strong is one that's scheduled to be on the April 10th cruise. I know Al Katz left the ship today and Rus Nagel leaves next week. Keep an eye out on my Punchliner Comedy Schedule for weekly updates. It's just a fraction of what's actually on the ships, but most comedian's don't publish their schedules. Some that publish their land schedules don't publish their cruise schedules. I try to get as much as I can and as I find out about more comedians I didn't know about, I find more schedules.

Rare Saint Greg Posted March 21, 2022 Author #1965 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Wow I just realized that last night in New Olreans I didn’t post anything about my time at Pat O’Briens. I was like “that really happened didn’t it?” Check my pictures…yeah it did. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted March 26, 2022 Author #1966 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Since I mentioned them requiring proof of vaccination at some bars and restaurants when I was in New Orleans, it's worth coming back to let you know they lifted that policy earlier this week. From my experience with it I don't think it would be effective. It seemed like when places weren't busy they would ask for proof of vaccination. Then when they were busy they would not. https://www.nola.com/news/coronavirus/article_02568894-a925-11ec-8d59-d7bc0ae598eb.html Edited March 26, 2022 by Saint Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cajun-crazy Posted June 22, 2022 #1969 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Saint Greg - Do you recall Port of Orleans having signage for lining up for Embarkation? Or did it just seem to be one mass long line? We have 10:00 - 10:30 check in and was just wondering what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But over the years I've seen New Orleans do it differently each time I cruised from there so just because it was one way in March doesn't mean it's that way now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80sGal Posted August 31, 2022 #1971 Share Posted August 31, 2022 What is the earliest time you'd recommend a flight from NOLA after leaving the Glory? Carnivals website suggests 1130 but could it reasonably be earlier? I've found they recommend far too much time for Miami so am wondering if 1030 or 1045 at MSY might be fine to plan.

You may want to check the New Orleans board. Or Gulf South Departures. I always drive to New Orleans but I never fly out of anywhere on debarkation day before noon. I know it could be over cautious in some cases but I have twice had delays that would've caused me to miss a morning flight out of any port. As a rule of thumb I try to allow an hour to get to the airport before the two hour window they want me there. So I would want to be off the ship at 8:30 for an 11:30 flight.
