Walking to Erato St. Terminal

[Lizzanna]

We are staying at the Hilton Riverside in New Orleans before our upcoming Dream cruise in April. I have seen different threads regarding walking to the Carnival terminal, they mention walking through the Riverwalk Marketplace, but it appears the Riverwalk Marketplace is closed for renovation until May. Does anybody have detailed directions to walk from the Hilton to the Carnival terminal?

It isn't a bad walk if the weather is OK and you are not hauling a lot of luggage.

 

When you leave the hotel, turn left to Convention Center Boulevard, about a block.

 

Turn left again and walk to Julia Street (about two blocks).

 

Turn left and walk down the walkway leading to the Riverwalk. Cross the railroad tracks and turn right. You will pass the Julia Street terminal and about two blocks further is the Erato Street terminal.

 

There is no pedestrian walkway, and there are signs saying "no pedestrians," but people still walk it.

Thank you. On our return we will be spending a night at the Renaissance Arts Hotel on Tchoupitoulas St. Will we be able to walk there?

It's about the same distance from the terminal as the Hilton. About seven blocks.

Thank you!
