New Orleans terminals

They have had two terminals since 2006, when the Erato terminal was completed.

 

The Julia terminal was remodeled in 2011, and it received the newer gangway, and since Carnival was not showing any sign of bringing a bigger ship to New Orleans at the time they did not install a new gangway at Erato.

 

However, Carnival will us two terminals tomorrow when the Elation and Dream are in port, but that is exceedingly rare. The last time Carnival had two ships in NOLA on the same day was right after Katrina when two ships were being used to house and feed first responders.

 

Now that the Dream will be in the port, they reworked the Erato street terminal to accommodate the larger ship, and swapped the gangways around to give Carnival the higher passenger loading capability. The dedication of two ships full time to New Orleans outweighs the seasonal ships that other cruise lines are putting there.

Yes, but the Elation will likely be docked at the Julia street terminal using the old gangway. The Dream will use the Erato street terminal and the newer gangway with the higher capacity.

The media advisory below shows that the dream will use the new gangway at the remodeled Erato terminal.
