Which street do we get dropped off on in New Orleans?

[eyern1]

We are leaving via NCL at the Julia street terminal. My question is, is the dropoff/entry on Port of New Orleans Place or is it on Convention Center Blvd? I've seen conflicting info and there is also construction in the area causing congestion so I want to get dropped off by our friend in the right spot from the get go and avoid as much of the congestion as I can.

Port of New Orleans Place if you want to get dropped off at the terminal.  Julia Street if you want to avoid traffic and don't mind rolling your bags to the terminal.

Where on Julia St? The corner of Julia and Port of New Orleans Place?  How long is the bag roll from there? I see it on the map? Or do you mean the corner of Julia and Convention Center? If so, do you walk through the convention center or around it, which I think I've heard isn't the easiest?

Julia and Convention Center near Mulate’s. Walk on Julia sidewalk toward the river then take a right on Port of Orleans. The terminal is on your left. Easy walk

Thank you, Beaucajun.  Les es le bon temp roule, lol. I can say it but I can't spell it.

We're coming from the Westbank. Would you recommend getting off at Tchoupitoulas or approaching from the Canal street direction to avoid congestion?

If coming from the Westbank, definitely exit Tchoupitoulas.  Left on Henderson then left on Port of New Orleans Place.  Pull up to the port parking, pay your $20 per day and pull up to the porters.  Elevator down to the terminal to check in.

Thank you. Sorry your Saints got screwed over!
