lisaten98 Posted December 20, 2017 #26 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I totally agree with Tom Fitzmorris' guide to restaurants. https://nomenu.com and agree with his recommendations. Also, when choosing a restaurant location, "CBD" means Central Business District and is mostly walkable from the French Quarter. "Downtown" has a different meaning in NOLA. "Uptown" can be walkable from the streetcar and is where you'll find Commander's Palace. Galatoire's and Antoine's in the French Quarter are old world dining experiences and memorable. I, too, am from New Orleans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Solent Richard Posted January 12, 2018 #32 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Hi, thanks for offering some advice. Do you (or anyone else on here) have any ideas on any tours that would allow us to bring our luggage after the cruise? Or any kind of storage place for the day? Our flight home isn't until after 7 pm. My email is mvaygibson@aol.com. Thank you very much! Hi, we just got off Carnival Dream on Sunday. There is a good luggage depository at the Erato StreetTerminal. As for getting around, it's very easy to see the major sites by yourself. Indeed, I've just published my review on how to do the more popular ones. Here's the link... https://solentrichardscruiseblog.com/2017/12/29/one-way-to-do-new-orleans-part-1/ There are over 50 photographs to help guide you including a map...

We will be using the trolley to get around. Also - Any advice on "Things not to miss?" This will be our first time to NOLA. Thanks in advance!!!!

We will be taking a cruise with our adult sons and their wife/fiance', friend. There will be at least 8 of us. We will be flying in two nights before cruise. Can you please send me some not to miss spots? Probably not anything super expensive or fancy and no sea food. I am allergic and we just tend to stay away. thanks! sorry, i did not see that so many people already asked (and why wouldn't they!) familyoutdoors@Comcast.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I never received an email.... There are tons of great restaurants all over. Most post menus outside, so you can judge food and prices. For some of the fancier places, you may consider lunch rather than dinner for slightly less money. But overall, prices are pretty high (and I come from Seattle, where the cost of living is high!) Some less expensive choices are beignets at Café Du Monde. There is a line, but it moves pretty fast. (it was about $15 for the two of us to have two orders of beignets, a large coffee and a hot chocolate. Sharing the beignets and having a small drink would bring the cost down. A muffuletta at Central Grocery is a must do! DH and I shared one, and I'll bet it could easily serve 4! They have limited counter space, so you can take your sandwiches and have a picnic in the nearby park on a nice day. A fair number of the dishes have seafood, but there are plenty of non-seafood choices. As a vegetarian, I had a hard time because a lot of the seafood dishes have sausage or are meat based stocks. For site seeing, there are 2 National Park sites in town that are free or cheap, both have daily programs. There are a ton of walking tours also, catering to whatever your interests are (voodoo, ghost, history...) Have a great trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The streets and sidewalks are fairly uneven, so New Orleans doesn't strike me as very disabled-friendly. There is a lovely park near the cruise ships that has a lot going on and has nice sidewalks. The cemeteries are very "crowded" so I can see that it would be difficult with an electric wheelchair. It was tough getting around on two feet. It looks like motorized equipment might not be allowed by the Archdiocese. There is a board on CC for disabled cruising. I've not looked there, but someone might have some good advice for you.
