You might read the answers to the many many many same questions.

Parking is god-awful miserable. There are parking lots but they are expensive. Look up the streetcar and take the streetcar line in.

We floated Downriver through caves on inner tubes

after you read the previous similar posts what is it you need to know?

people are getting that a huge portion of the reviews on sites like TA are fake.

Mississippi delta country is between and is a mecca for blues fans. http://www.msdeltaheritage.com/

I would skip TripAdvisor way too many fake reviews

The Museum of Belize is excellent... http://www.nichbelize.org/mob/the-museum-of-belize.html

Thanks!

 

So cave tubing seems popular - why is it so great? Who did you book with?

Go to YouTube and look at it

the zoo, cave tubing and ruins.

And different states, too!!!! :D

 

I am from New Orleans and I have sailed out of N.O. several times and I absolutely love it. The Mississippi River is amazing. It takes about 9 hours to get to the Gulf of Mexico.

 

The port is in the heart of the city & is about 17 miles (driving) from the airport, so you really cannot compare to Galveston since most people fly to Houston to sail out of Galveston.

 

There is quite a bit of information in the New Orleans section, too, on Cruise Critic under Ports of Call. New Orleans is both a departure port and a port. We were just a stop on an around the world cruise earlier this month. I highly recommend the WWII museum. If you have children, I recommend both the Audubon Aquarium (next door to the port) and the Audubon Zoo. The LA. Children's Museum is also very good for kids under 12 or so (although my adult son would be happy to still go). There are excellent restaurant everywhere. I recommend www.nomenu.com for reviews.

 

Easter is on April 1 in 2018. There are Easter parades in the French Quarter - I think they start in the morning.

There is some question as to whether or not Texas is an actual state

Well I was all set to leave from Galveston one time and then heard it's not the greatest port leave from if you're flying in etc. fog problems, additional travel costs etc.

You do know Galveston and New Orleans are different cities right

Thanks for this thread... looking into booking Carnival Dream April 1st next year and was nervous about leaving from this port. Sounds like it will be neat... anyone have any idea how airfare prices compare to flying to Florida?

Why on Earth would you be nervous

There is a steam train to ride along the Oregon coast too, at Garibaldi Maybe?

That microsoft thing...what is that? can you go at random times,or only when invited? we only have one day in Seattle

Contact them and see what they have going on

Lots of kids go cave tubing I'm sure there is a cut off for age but I'm not sure what it is

It's 60 miles from Belize City to caves branch. There is no issue with distance

Sounds like South Florida all right

you can look at all of them on youtube

it is a little country

There is a great deal of Fraud and petty theft in South Florida

why not???:cool:

 

so excited!!! we walked across it on our last trip to San Francisco and that was quite the adventure…

Well it's up to you if you want to swallow pigeon crap

Don't look up while you're sailing underneath it
