Geargoesdown Posted April 5, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I just noticed that carnival has both the Valor and Glory leaving New Orleans on May 11. I’ve never seen carnival have two ships depart on the same day before. The port gets busy enough with just one ship in town, can’t imagine what it would be like with two at the carnival port. Anyone seen this in New Orleans before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdsgu Posted April 5, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 5, 2019 NOLA has had the Dream and NCL's Breakaway departing on the same day. No, the infrastructure isn't sufficient, like most things in NOLA it's a huge cluster, but they manage to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted April 5, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I’ve never seen it. The CCL port at Erato Street only has room for one ship. I’ve never seen a CCL ship at the Julia Street terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormy_weatherman Posted April 5, 2019 #5 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I was on the Conquest back in October 2013 when Tropical Storm Karen cut the 7 day cruise a day short, causing us to leave NOLA on a Monday instead of Sunday. This meant we were in port with and left just ahead of the Elation, which was on a 5 day run to Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted April 5, 2019 #6 Share Posted April 5, 2019 My bet is that’s a misprint. Glory should be in every Sunday and Valor should Mon-Sat, Sat-Thu, Thu-Mon deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they are going to use the Julia terminal for one? Also, I think the Dream is returning on Sunday. That parking garage at Erato street will be packed!

I’ve seen it. Just not with two carnival ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolzCruiser Posted April 5, 2019 #9 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I have also sailed out of NOLA and there were two ships sailing that day and both Erato and Julia were being used. I didn't experience any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haply Posted April 5, 2019 #10 Share Posted April 5, 2019 We have sailed out with two ships at the NOLA port (Carnival and Norwegian), and no issues. The Glory and Valor are mid-sized ships (about 3000 passengers each), as compared to the Dream and Breakway (4000+ passengers each). New Orleans is a great city! Enjoy the River Walk, cafe au lait with beignets (or a Pat O-Brien's hurricane to knock out any stress)! No worries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
