Port of New Orleans

Jazz, Creole cuisine, and the Mississippi — arrive two days early

Port of New Orleans is one of the most compelling pre-cruise destinations in the country. Carnival operates year-round from here, and the French Quarter, Garden District, and world-class restaurant scene make two days before embarkation the minimum.
