VideoTech Posted June 27, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Here's a previous CC thread that deals with luggage storage: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=690049 You might also see if your cruise line has a "bags" program whereby they take your bags straight from the ship to your airline. Other suggestions are to go to a hotel near the port, or in the Quarter, and just check you bags with the bellman there. You may be charged a small fee for the convenience, but if not, you should certainly tip more than normal. As for what to do: You'll have about 5 hours, more or less, depending on how early you want to be at the airport for your flight. That's plenty of time for a leisurely walking tour of the Quarter, with stops for lunch & "refreshments." Don't forget a stop for beignets at the Cafe du Monde. You could also take a run on the St. Charles line streetcars, and get a lot of sightseeing in that way: http://www.neworleansonline.com/tools/transportation/gettingaround/streetcars.html If you have kids with you, try the Aquarium. It's right at the foot of Canal street, next to the Algiers ferry landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endymion6942 Posted June 27, 2012 #3 Share Posted June 27, 2012 what to do - our flight isn't until 5pm suggestions appreciated - we will have luggage thanks I don't know what ship you are on, but I am pretty sure that all 3 lines sailing out of here off services as the previous poster mentioned. If you get the luggage situation straight. I would walk over to the French Quarter, sightsee, have a nice lunch, have a few drinks, then hop a cab to the airport.
