New Orleans check in

[PerferWarmWeather]

We received an email from RCCL asking us not to come to the terminal until 1:30 due to limited space. Is this new, or can we still go around 11:00? Thank you

Serenade is late coming into port this morning due to propulsion problems. That is probably why boarding is delayed. Have a great trip.

Thank you for you answer.

Is she docked yet??

The reason they're asking you to do this is because Serenade will be delayed arriving in New Orleans by about three hours. DW and I are aboard her now. The crew detected an electrical issue in a propulsion unit and opted to delay transiting the Mississippi until they could resolve it.

 

We're probably not going to dock until around 10 and are currently near Meraux

thanks for the reply. we will just stay at hotel for a while longer.

 

how was cruise?

[PerferWarmWeather]

We can now see the ship from our hotel.

We're at all stop across the river from the Domino Sugar factory waiting for some barges further upriver to transit.The cruise was nice, a great way to avoid the weather that hit the South, though I understand it caused some to miss part of the cruise. Some complaints (demographic was not only a little on the older side but also unfriendly, some staff clearly dislike the ship, and there's not enough dining options open late, solarium closing at odd times for cleaning) but hey, a bad day at sea is better than a good day on land!

Does any one know if the cruise terminal has pre-departure lounge? Thanks

I am going on her in two weeks. What movies were playing when you were onboard?

[garnetpalmetto]

We just came alongside the cruise terminal...and promptly heard an Oscar alert which was soon cancelled when they recovered the person who went over. We're in Safari Club now waiting to disembark around 11:15.

Thank you, for the information, we will stay at our hotel a little longer and enjoy a little more of New Orleans. We are really looking forward to the cruise. :)
