Visigoth Posted September 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 19, 2018 If you are off the boat as soon as possible and all goes well you will be at the airport before 9 am. If there are any problems with customs being slow or if you have trouble finding a transportation, or there are traffic difficulties you may not make it in time.

tallyho8 Posted September 19, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Also, if it the first cruise of the year docking at the Julia terminal when all the new employees are starting out, it will be slow and late getting ashore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted September 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Probably but I wouldn't try it. Who wants that kind of stress on their vacation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynda59 Posted September 22, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 22, 2018 You did not post when you are sailing back to N.O. - what day of the week and what time of year? Sundays are easy - but not if there is a race, a parade, or an event in town. The port is right next to the Convention Center - even the Helen Brett jewelry show can cause a traffic jam. Most weekend days if you can get off by 8:00am and catch a taxi right away, you will be fine. But other days - who knows??? And what about the airport? If there is a big convention in town, you may have lines at TSA. Of course, pre-check is wonderful, but not always fool proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might pull the trigger on this one and roll the dice. The flight is so cheap and it would be nice to be home early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
