New Orleans Questions

1. Is there a website for the street cars? (maps, etc?)

2. I understand that it is $1.25 per ride, per person on the street car and you can purchase a day pass. Where do you purchase these day passes? (I've never been on a street car)

3. I want to do the Cemetery #1 tour on Monday before our ship leaves. Our ship leaves at 4:00pm. The tour starts at 10:30am. Will I have time?

4. I see that Carnival offers a transfer from port to airport for $23.50 per person. Is it worth it? Our flight isn't until 2:30pm and the ship arrives at 8:00am. Would my mom, husband and I be better off just taking a cab?

Thank you in advance.

Taxis - Flat fee of $35 for the first two persons, $12 per person for three or more, plus a $1 fuel surcharge per trip (not passenger).

Thank you so much!

Take a taxi to the airport

Agree with taking the taxi to the airport. Also there is no reason to be up and out early. You don't really have enough time to do much before heading to the airport so I would enjoy a leisurely breakfast before disembarking. There isn't much to do at the airport other than to drink overpriced cocktails and expensive food.

Why post outdated information?

Cab fare- $36 up to 2 people, $15 pp 3 and more.

Airport shuttle bus- $24 one way, $44 round trip

Your Cemetery tour has time duration? how long? You'd need to return to your hotel for your bags, where are you staying?

You need to check in by 2:30p A ball park would be to add an hour to your tour end time. Add more, depending where you stay and how fast you can walk. :) Does that get you to the ship before 2:30p??
