We are cruising out of new orleans and will be arriving in the morning. Is there a place to leave your luggage so that we could spend the day in town?

Call the Ambassador Hotel on Tchpoulitas St(wrong spelling I know). Their tollfree number is 1-888-527-5271. If you have luggage on wheels it is within walking distance of the pier.

I'm also wondering about any hotels within a reasonable (like less than a mile) walk to the pier and a reasonable cost. Not like a budget inn, but something between 70-100 for a night. I'm used to Lambert Intl. Airport that's over a mile long and don't mind the walk, though at the same time, I am on vacation here

Don't know if you'll be able to find much in that price range. Also, if the Saints are playing in NO that weekend, it might be tough. Julia St Wharf area is the French Quarter area and things down there are kinda high. I work down there and know that some folks opt to stay a little ways from downtown and taxi in for any festivities. That could be an option.

Ah well, thanks for the input Turkeyman We are driving down from St. Louis so if worse comes to worse, we'll just hit a Hotel a little farther away from the docks and drive. It's like 10 bucks a day for Carnival Parking isn't it? I figure if I'd have to pay 150 or so to be within walking distance to the ship, I might as well pay 70 or 80and be 10 miles away and drive, and park there
Heh, if you see a Ford ZX2 done all up in Spiderman graphics and stuff, that's us And yes, you'll be able to tell me apart from the other grown men on our cruise by my Spiderman shirts on occasion Just because I'm 26 doesn't mean I can't have a childhood hero
Okay, I'm a geek at times.. but a fun one!

Hey Rembrant,
There is a Holiday Inn almost across the street from the RiverWalk where the ship docks. My wife and I stay there for Mardi Gras and it is reasonable. We also have stayed at the Embassy Suite Hotel around the corner on Julia street and liked it better. It too is reasonable. They are both walking distance. Rooms are around the $100 range I think. The Saints are in town August 28th, Sept 14th and 28th, Oct 12th and 26th. We are cruising the Conquest August 24th. Hope this helps.

Wow.. um
Anywho.. It looks like my friends and my wife and I are just carpooling down and they are all bent against staying downtown or anything close They'd rather stay out in the burbs or something of like location on saturday night and avoid a downtown traffic we aren't familiar with.. Can't say I blame them much, but oh well.
Thanks for the help everyone!
