Thank you for sharing your experience with us.  May God continue to bless your family and give you peace.

My opinion, park in the Erato cruise terminal since it is far more convenient.  It may cost a little more but you will never be outside.

Thank you Husky 1987.  I agree with your assessment and appreciate you taking the time to respond.  Happy New Year Washington Husky from a Roll Tide fan.

Thank you Biker 19.  Anyone else?

We booked Cabin 1658 on AOS and I neglected to see what was on Deck 11 above - Windjammer.   Can anyone tell me how the noise level is?  I may switch cabins based on what I hear.

Thank you in advance for your opinions.

Lots of good advice so far.   Here is my take.  YOU WILL STILL HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME ON BOARD AND FIND PLENTY OF FOOD THAT YOU WILL LIKE!!!  Have a wonderful cruise!

Thank you posting your experience with great pictures.  When you boarded was the forward part of the ship left or right?

Been on these boards for about 25 years and so far your posts, pictures, menus, Compasses are the best I've seen.  I am 81 years old, married 59 years and truly enjoying your posts.  Thank you. 

Thanks AtSeaAlways for your willingness to post about your cruise on Radiance.   We will be on board beginning January 8th.  Looking forward for your take on everything.   You mind if I ask questions along the way of your cruise?

Thanks everyone for your helpful replies.

Thank you Biker19.

We are sailing on Radiance of the Seas in January 2023 and have several questions.

1.   Is it first come first serve for all evening shows?

2.   Are they strict on boarding times at Julia St terminal?

3.   Do they still have seating areas for Diamond and above?

4.   What time do they allow you to enter the terminal?

Thanks in advance.

Does RCCL out of NOLA still have seating and priority boarding for Diamond passengers?

Thanks.

Another question for you Nydney1.   My wife is 79 and would not do well trying to check luggage in, etc. Does a porter come out and take your luggage and then she wait outside for me or does she have to take luggage in, etc.  Thanks.

Thanks again for all the info.  You have a great rest of the year.

Thank you.  Good to get this info from someone in New Orleans.  Are you saying that since it is dredged, there will not be a problem.  We are cruising in January.  Again, thanks jgmpuma.

Anyone have any information on the drought that is causing record low levels of the Mississippi River and the chances it could cancel cruises out of New Orleans.

Great tip nydney1.  Thank for that recommendation and that is exactly what we will do.

We have parked at Fulton Street Garage on many occasions with excellent results.   However, in the past, we have parked then took elevator down with all our luggage and carry-ons.  Now at our age, it would be more convenient if I dropped off my off and luggage where the vans pick us up and then park with no luggage to carry down.  Can I do this without any issues?

Thank you in advance.

We are cruising on Radiance in January 2023.   All the passenger pictures we see still have the old TVs.  Any chance these have been upgraded to flat screen?

Thanks,

Virgin Pina coladas are very good.

You defintely have all the info you need.  However, I will add, "Get a second room!" and have a great cruise.

My TA is in Phoenix, Az, and I am in Alabama.  He is outstanding and responds quickly.  Wish I could give you name and who he is with.

We just returned from a seven day on the Harmony out of Port Canaveral.   The food and service was very good.  Only complaint I had was they brought me too much meat, 🙂   For the most part, we have elected to ignore the negative post and believe the positives.  Happy Cruising!

Thanks everyone for you input and recommendations.  We are looking forward to our 24th cruise.  Happy Cruising!
