plantation tour

[csr10236]

I am leaving on a cruise out of NOLA on a Saturday. I arrive on Friday around 3 p.m. and won't have time for a plantation tour. I was thinking of trying to squeeze it in before I board the ship on Saturday. They pick up at 8 or 8:30 a.m. and drop off at 1:30 or 2:00. The ship leaves at 4:30. Sounds like it could work but a little nervous about it. Anyone have any thoughts?

I would not risk it.

 

Take your time getting ready, and get to the port around 10, and make a whole day out of embarkation, it is a lot less stressful that way.

Any way to add an extra day when you arrive back in port?

The plantation tour is great but you really don't have time for it. I would just spend the morning enjoying New Orleans. Eat some square donuts, explore the French Quarter, ride the trolley, have some lunch and leisurely catch the ship. And stay somewhere near the Quarter or Canal Street--not at the airport. There is absolutely nothing to see out there.

Square donuts??? Where do I get those?

At cafe du monde in the French market. It is a must do in New Orleans. I just couldn't spell beignets at the moment.

Ohhh! Gotcha. I don't know what the hype is about those, I'm not a fan. Tastes like fried bread with powdered sugar. Yuck.

No I would not try it. Perhaps do it the day after you get back from the cruise.
