yogimax Posted July 23, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2011 We have never sailed out of New Orleans before but have a cruise booked next year on Voyager. With the airlines not collecting federal taxes, I wanted to book today. What's the situation on the distance of the port to the airport? Is a shuttle possible or are cabs better. Thanks in advance...

seaofwonder Posted July 23, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Note that many of the airlines have increased fees today (according to what I've been reading on some frequent flyer blogs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's true, but Delta is not in that group. What I was really asking was the distance from the port to the aitport and the best way to get there.

Debde Posted July 24, 2011 #4 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Yogimax-I do not know the distance but do know catching a cab is easy and cheaper then any of the shuttles offered. Spending time in the french quarter and even my family of 4 had no trouble with a cab/SUV. I've already got my flights from Delta!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULCajunCruiser Posted July 24, 2011 #5 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Its a good 30 minutes, possibly 45, from the Airport to the Cruise Ship terminal (near the French Quarter). Maybe 20 miles or so. I don't know of a service that is better, quicker or cheaper than regualr cabs. Have taken them from the airport area to the french quarter several times, no issues.

SAS21 Posted July 24, 2011 #6 Share Posted July 24, 2011 On a Saturday morning the traffic will be minimal on the weekend, so about 20-25 minute ride from the cruise port which is downtown. I live about 15 minutes south of downtown New Orleans, and it takes about 30-45 minutes on a working weekday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted July 24, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 24, 2011 MSY Transportation info: http://www.flymsy.com/PageDisplay.asp?p1=6016 We are finding that there are other shuttle/limo sevices for the airport. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediana Posted July 31, 2011 #8 Share Posted July 31, 2011 What about during Mardi Gras? I'm renting a car and thought I leave at Avis downtown but that one is apparently closed during Mardi Gras. That leaves me with no other choice than to leave it at the airport. A cab seems like a bad choice in this case unless they have flat rate.
