Disembarkation Day -- what to do until we need to be at airport

[brightfeather]

Hi fellow NCL'ers

 

So, we'll be in NOLA 3 days prior to our cruise on January 10th and will do plenty of stuff around the Quarter, etc. Also this is our 2nd time here and last time spent 3 days afterwards.

 

My question is that our flight doesn't depart until 5 p.m. so what do we do all day and the bigger question, what do we do with our luggage? I can see us doing some walking around and hanging out, but don't think a tour will be of value since we've "been there, done that".

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

We did a post cruise shore ex tour. Would kill all of the time to a 5 pm flight. Driving tour. Cemetery tour. Stop for Some [strong] hickory coffee and beignets. Had a lot of fun,,,, killing time.

Any mainline hotel can take your luggage. Just drop it off at the bell stand. You dont have to be staying at the hotel. Tip a few bucks to the porter and your good to go. I've done this quite a few times while traveling.

Most cruise lines offer a tour on disembarkation day that ends at the airport. Your luggage goes with you in the luggage bay. That could be an option.

I'm sure it's a typo, but there is no hickory coffee, it's chicory. Strong stuff!!

Birdtravels said it was "shore ex" tour. Shorex tours are usually ship-sponsored ones.

NM Lady, our ship only offers one tour post cruise, that's why I asked specifically. If it's another tour company it'd be good to know.
