What to do with luggage after our cruise & we tour NO before our flight?

[disneyaholicraquel]

After our cruise arrives in NO we will have about 8 hours before our flight leaves. What can we do with our luggage so, we can tour NO for a while?

Is this also available in Alaska? (Whittier) We are looking for options after our Northbound cruise from Vancouver to Whittier. Our plane does not leave Anchorage until very late the same day that we end our cruise in Whittier. I understand that Carnival has a day transfer/excursion trip available but can't find anything on the pricing. Any ideas?

The West Coast board might be more help. Whittier and Anchorage are a good distance apart.

I had found Advance Check In on the official NO tourism board website but want to be sure that it is a reliable, legitimate service we can trust before entrusting them with our luggage. A little concerned when I called the Advance Check In phone number to ask questions and it went directly into a generic voicemail box without any company identification whatsoever, then called back the tourism board and was told that Advance Check In is no longer a member of their association and so they could not help me.

 

Has anyone used them and can vouch they are a trustworthy service co?

There is a company called Rush It Courier service which is mentioned on the Port of New Orleans website. I called and they said no reservations are needed and they have a staffed kiosk that meets every returning ship as well as offices at the airport. $25 for 3 bags Cruiseport to airport, $5 for each additional bag.

Advance Checkin and Rush It are basically the same company. I've never used them, but they have had an office at the the airport for years.
