SportsMomof4 Posted May 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2015 We are booked on the Sunshine for New Years. Looking to switch to the Dream today. I have some questions if anyone can help PLEASE as we have never been to NOLA! We would be flying in late at night. So I would like to stay in a hotel close to the airport. Are there ANY stores (walmart walgreens target etc...) in walking distance to any airport hotels?? We will not have a car & need to pick up soda & toiletries. Thank you!

tallyho8 Posted May 29, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 29, 2015 The airport Hilton has a Shell station with a convenience store right next to it. The Sleep Inn New Orleans airport has a Sam's a couple hundred yards away. There are 4 motels by the intersection of Williams Blvd. and Veterans Blvd. that have various convenience stores by them.

nolatravelgirl Posted June 10, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) The hotels near the corner of William and Vets are in a pretty sketchy area and not anywhere I would want to stay. I certainly wouldn't want to be walking around at night. How late are you arriving and how do you plan to get to the port? There are plenty of 24 hours places that you could stop at on the way from the aiport and pick up supplies.

WendyVF Posted June 11, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Our group will be on the Dream for New Year's. We're flying in the afternoon prior and will be staying near the French Quarter. You mentioned sodas, keep in mind that Carnival updated its policy and you can only bring on canned sodas, no bottles. Come join the roll call!

misguidedangel Posted June 14, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 14, 2015 You could always find a hotel in the quarter and get what you need at the CVS, Walgreen, or Rouse grocery store in the Quarter. CVS and Walgreen are right on Decatur across from Jackson Square. Rouse is on Royal..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiel53 Posted June 18, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) We are staying at the Hampton Inn downtown, 226 Carondolet (sp) St. Is there a store nearby where we can buy wine? We are not flying in so won't have access to a car. Any idea of how much the taxi fare is from the airport to the hotel for 4 people? How about fare from hotel to the Carnival Dream? Thanks so much.

BigEasyCC Posted June 19, 2015 #8 Share Posted June 19, 2015 There is a Rouses Supermarket at 701 Baronne. I think that's closer to where you are staying. They have everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
