Port of New Orleans

Terminal & boarding — Norwegian

Julia Street Cruise Terminal (Norwegian / Royal Caribbean)

Drop-off: Follow the same route as Erato — from I-10, take Exit 234A (US 90 W) at Tchoupitoulas St. Turn right onto Tchoupitoulas, left onto Henderson St, and left onto Port of New Orleans Place. Julia Street Terminal is just past Erato. Do not try to access the terminal from Julia St or Poydras St entrances. Drop luggage curbside with porters.

Parking: Julia Street Terminal does not have its own garage. Passengers park at the 100 Poydras Garage (about 500 spots), and a shuttle takes you to the terminal. Rates are $25 per day or $175 for a 7-day cruise. Keep your parking confirmation handy. The shuttle runs frequently on embarkation days.

Boarding: Norwegian online check-in typically opens about 21 days before sailing. At busier homeports NCL typically uses check-in or arrival windows, so plan to arrive inside the window printed on your eDocs rather than at the earliest possible hour.
