Mobile
- A little over a decade
ago, cruises out of Mobile would have seemed far-fetched. Downtown
was boarded up. Florida had a lock on cruises. And how many people
would want to go anyway? Today, Mobile's downtown is bustling, the
cruise industry has ballooned, and cruise lines are scouting Gulf
Coast cities. It seems Mobile's day in the sun is finally here,
This is a new port and information will be added when
available.

New
Orleans - The easiest way to
picture New Orleans is to divide it into its two main sections;
uptown and downtown. The dividing line is Lee Circle, accessible
from historic St. Charles Avenue. Below Lee Circle are the
Warehouse Arts District, French Quarter, Faubourg Marigny, Bywater
area and the Central Business District (CBD). Above Lee Circle are
Uptown, The Garden District, The Irish Channel, Carrollton, and
several colorful, distinct neighborhoods in-between.
For years media have created an image of New Orleans that has much
to do with the French Quarter, but little to do with the
magnificent neighborhoods that make up the rest of the city. This
is not surprising, since the French Quarter is one of the most
unique spots in the world. The narrow streets and rows of two- and
three-story French and Spanish-inspired structures look almost
like a movie set.
Directions
By car, the seaport can be accessed:
Take I-10 East toward New Orleans. Follow signs for Westbank
(Business 90) as you approach downtown. Exit at Tchoupitoulas
St./South Peters St. exit, continue to Convention Center Blvd.,
right on Convention Center Blvd. continue to Henderson St., left
on Henderson St. continue to Port of New Orleans Place, left on
Port of New Orleans Place to cruise terminals (Julia St. Terminal)
or right to Delta Queen (Robin St. Wharf).
Parking
Immediately adjacent to the cruise terminal, the Port operates a
patrolled, fenced, and lighted outside parking lot (no height
restrictions) for cruise passengers only, for length of voyage
only. Cost is $70 for a seven day cruise, cash only on arrival, no
credit cards, no checks, no reservations, no refunds for early
departure. RV's pay according to number of spaces occupied (i.e.,
two spaces equal $140). If lot is full, Harbor Police and Seacaps
will direct you to other private lots close by, some of which will
honor the Port's prices for cruise passengers. At least one
operates a shuttle to and from the terminal.

Norfolk
- With its sparkling
downtown waterfront, tall glimmering buildings and storied
maritime heritage, Norfolk, Virginia stands today as the Mid
Atlantic region's most dynamic and progressive cultural center.
World-class museums, galleries, intimate performing arts halls and
scores of other attractions dot the city's pedestrian-friendly
downtown waterfront, while the white sandy beaches of the
Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean lie just minutes away.
In fact, this old seaport in the heart of the Virginia Waterfront
is experiencing a rebirth so vibrant, the New York Times declared
Norfolk a "cultural center of note," while Money
magazine dubbed it "The South's #1 big city to live in."
A city as rich in history as there are things to do, Norfolk
enjoys a cost of living considerably more generous than most
cities, offering business, leisure, and convention traveler the
kind of value and entertainment that can be found in few other
places.
Whatever you choose to do in The New Norfolk, it's easy to see
that the old seaport's pulse is beating stronger than ever.
This is a new port and information will be added when
available.
