Always sail out of New Orleans! The easiest and the best

I love cruising sooo much, when I get on the ship, I'm usually crying happy tears.

Do you still hafta have the Covid docs?

We have cruises out of New Orleans twice. The first time was during spring break so it was very crowded. But it was so easy. I have parked at the port itself both times and love how easy it is. You park, then take the elevator to the ground floor to the terminal. It is super easy.

Thanks from an Aussie who has never been to New Orleans, and is doing a cruise in September! ;)

Hi baysidelad1! I hope you have a great time in New Orleans and a super cruise!

Our tradition is to smile all the way from the terminal until the end of the cruise. We are on vacation!

Thank you for all the great info on NOL port. I’m cruising out of there in October 2023 (this year) for the first time n looking forward to it too. 🎉

Love the “they were soda right?” Kelly laughing away

Thanks A LOT! sailing the glory next month outta NOLA . great info on what to expect. Love your channel and the cruisin' duo! Yall make visiting this channel so worth our time!

Last time we cruised out of NOLA we was in 2018 on the Carnival Dream. We took the Amtrak down to the ship then just used the public transit system in NOLA This is a great port to sail out of Great Vlog.

Hi Jonathan! Hey, that's great! Getting there by Amtrak would be a neat experience! Thanks for watching my Friend!

I will be in New Orleans Going on the Norwegian Breakaway on Jan 28 2024. I'm from Minneapolis MN. My dad will be driving me to New Orleans for my first time. I normally leave to Miami or Los Angeles. I can't wait. It has been a long time and now I get to finally go.

Oh wonderful! We have not been on the Breakaway but I am sure you will have an amazing time!!!

Love New Orleans and the Glory. My tradition is that I always call whichever daughter isn't with us and taunt her as I step onto the ship. Was on the Glory in May and will be back aboard for the Thanksgiving 8 day. Keep it up crew.

Thank you so much for this video! Last week was our first time cruising out of New Orleans. Also, we called Machu Picchu Tours after seeing this video. They made everything so much easier for us. It was awesome to not have to navigate getting into the port and parking.

I used to do the same thing the Hop when I entered onto the ship but when I was boarding the Vista I did the Hop and I ended up blowing out my knee I needed to use one of those stupid scooters the entire trip I could barely walk I had to pay extra for the scooter just because I tried to do the stupid bunny hop onto the ship

It is so beautiful bro

Look forward to seeing more videos on the CarnivalGlory. We will be on her next year.

Great video you two, and I loved the directors cut. On my first cruise ever, we left out of Tampa and new Orleans was a port of call. It was fun but it wasn't the same as going to the islands. Shortly after that they stopped going there as a port of call.

I always do the little hop while my husband laughs at me

Do you have any hotel recommendations near the port? Want to get into town a day early before my cruise.

Hey Jason and Kelli. I sailed on the Carnival Dream out of New Orleans just prior to the shutdown. It was an absolute "NIGHTMARE." There was construction going on in the Cruise Port area as well as some roads that fed in into the general area. Although I flew in the day before and stayed at a nearby hotel it took me over an hour by cab to go only a few blocks to the Cruise Port. I probably will NOT ever Cruise out of New Orleans again!

I’ve cruised twice out of that port since Oct 2021 and both times is was really smooth and no construction.

Are they still requiring a negative test result and COVID card?

Looking forward to this series! We will be cruising for the first time out of NOLA in October on the Glory and will be parking at Macchu Picchu Tours also. Thanks for posting!

Heads up on the parking. We showed up and they charged us 18 a day (instead of what is advertised on their website- 14 a day). Then they tried to tell us they would charge us more if we paid via credit card. We cannot recommend them because of the way they did pricing once we showed up.

Hi Debbie! Thanks! Kellie did sell these t-shirts as part of our merch. I am not sure if she still has some left for sell. I will ask her when she gets home later and maybe she can chime in tomorrow. She took one of our kids to soccer practice. :)

Hello do you still need to show proof of a negative covid test being that Carnival doesn't require it for cruises 15 days or less?

Stroll on like we own it😉

I love watching your video's. What a fun life with a loving partner to do it with..

Hey guys. Love your videos. Just out of curiosity, after you sail on every Carnival ship, are you going to try another cruise line? Have. Wonderful week. God bless.

Hi Thomas! Thank you so much for your kind words. For our next sailing, we "think" we may be going on an MSC ship. We are going to try to intermix sailings with all the cruise lines a bit just to stay up-to-date with the entire industry. God bless you too! And, thanks for watching!

Well they charged WAY over their advertised price on the website. They were not even apologetic and even tried to charge more when we said we were paying with credit card. So we cannot recommend them based on that.

we act like we have loaned the ship to RCCL. Be Safe

Did you drop off your checked luggage before parking at machu pichu tours?

How do you take a 12 pack of soda do you have to carry it around with you until your room is ready?

My boarding pass says 11:30-12:00 Arrival time. Do I need to get to the port earlier for parking?

What if I never got the covid vaccine? Not that I'm one of those that are against it, I just never got covid so I never worried about getting the vaccine. I have to get the vaccine?

Did they still the pre cruise testing

It took several hours. All boarding times were delayed. (We are not sure why). We arrived around 8am. We were on the ship around 1230.

Have they finished with all the Construction??? Or is it still a "Nightmare"?
