Late Flight - What to Do?

[luv2cruise2thebeach]

We have a flight that doesn't leave until 5:20 and I am taking suggestions on what we can do to kill some time before we need to be at the airport.  We plan to stay on the ship as long as possible.  We will also have luggage, which I'm not sure where we could store it while we walk around NO.

Try this company for your luggage.  http://www.advancecheckin.com/

 

Some suggestions near the port are the WWII museum, tour the French Quarter, take the street car through the Garden District.

 

You'll find plenty to do.

Riverwalk mall is right next to the port as well if you aren't looking to site see.

Second advancecheckin.com.  We've used them at least four times with absolutely no issues.  Get off the boat.  Go to their little kiosk outside the terminal and drop your bags.  Grab a cab to the Quarter or wherever you are going.  Grab a cab to the airport.  Your bags will be down in the baggage claim area.  Pick up the bags and get checked in for your flight.  Worth the money.

Thank you for the assistance.  It sounds like we will probably want to use advancecheckin or else we would need to lug our bags everywhere.

Don't know which cruise line you are on, but Carnival has a late flight transfer option where you leave your bags with them in the morning and catch a bus at 2:30 to bring you to the airport: https://www.carnival.com/shore-excursions/new-orleans-la/explore-new-orleans-late-flight-transfer-105027?b=357A69574844494E5261485751756D582F73767268413D3D
