Norwegian Sun entered the Port of New Orleans today as the first cruise ship to homeport in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina. The ship docked at the city's new $37 million Erato Street Terminal, which is designed to accommodate larger cruise ships. Norwegian Sun calls the Crescent City home for the winter season sailing seven-day exotic Western Caribbean cruise with ports of call including Costa Maya, Mexico; Santo Tomas de Castilla, Guatemala; Belize City, Belize and Cozumel, Mexico.
"We're proud to demonstrate our commitment to the city of New Orleans by returning to the city with a big, new balcony-rich ship,"
...
The ship will sail seven-day exotic Western Caribbean cruises from New Orleans for the remainder of 2006 and through April 2007. In late 2007, Norwegian Spirit will drop anchor in the Big Easy sailing seven-day exotic Western Caribbean cruises through April 2008.
I'm a native and life-long New Orleans resident who also lives just across the river from the cruise ship terminal
It was soooo good to see that ship in the port. DH, DD and I walked to the levee at the end of our block to catch a glimpse of the first cruise ship back! It was just beautiful.
We are happy with the commitment from NCL, CCL and RCL to return and help us rebuild our city.
Well I'm certainly looking forward to my cruise on the Sun. Last year it was a Houston evacuee with so many others (but I still went on that one, too!)
