catty Posted May 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 13, 2014 New Orleans or Tampa, the same itinerary? Thank you:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady_cruiser Posted May 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I haven't cruised from Tampa only because New Orleans is closer to me; only a 3 hour drive. I spoke to a TA friend of my last week about possibly leaving out of Tampa on our next cruise and she told me that she finds Tampa a little hectic to get into and out of.

fin1954 Posted May 13, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 13, 2014 We've never sailed from NOLA but have twice from Tampa and love that port! Much easier to get in and out than from Miami. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldenmusic Posted May 13, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I've never been to Tampa but have cruised out of NOLA 5 or 6 times and it is easy to maneuver and I've never had any problems there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribsun Posted May 13, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 13, 2014 NOLA is my favorite home port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoconutJD Posted May 13, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 13, 2014 It depends on what you consider "best". I imagine parking in NOLA and hotels before/after the cruise might be more expensive than Tampa. Are you looking to spend a few days before or after or are you just looking to get on/off the ship and back home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winddawn Posted May 13, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 13, 2014 New Orleans or Tampa, the same itinerary? Thank you:D New Orleans has more to do IMO. It is very walkable with lots of attractions and history right in the port area. Tampa is spread out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
