FAQ
Mardi Gras / Jazz Fest luggage during the event?+
Mardi Gras (the 2 weeks leading to Fat Tuesday in Feb/Mar) and Jazz Fest (last weekend of April + first weekend of May) both swell NOLA hotel demand by 500-700%. Hotels are non-refundable + sold out 6+ months ahead. For day-trippers or hotel-gap arrivals: Radical Storage drops across the French Quarter + CBD ($6/day) handle the overflow. Tip: parade routes can block streets for hours — confirm drop location is on the correct side of the route.
MSY airport luggage storage?+
Louis Armstrong (MSY) has NO official baggage storage. For long layovers: Uber to French Quarter (30 min, $35-50), drop at Radical Storage ($6/day), sightsee, return. For pre-flight storage: hotels along Veterans Boulevard in Kenner (Hilton Garden Inn, Holiday Inn, Best Western) offer day rooms for $30-60 or non-guest storage for $15-25.
Erato Street Cruise Terminal luggage?+
Erato Street Cruise Terminal (Norwegian, Carnival, sometimes Royal Caribbean) only accepts cruise passenger luggage starting 3 hours before scheduled departure. For pre-cruise day storage: drop bags at CBD hotels via Radical Storage ($6/day) or at your pre-cruise hotel's bell-desk. Post-cruise day storage: drop bags at French Quarter / Magazine Street Radical Storage before flight from MSY.
Plantation tour luggage?+
Most plantation tours (Whitney, Oak Alley, Laura) leave from French Quarter 08:00-09:00 and return 16:00-17:00 — too long with luggage. Tour buses don't carry checked bags. Drop at Radical Storage in the French Quarter or CBD ($6/day) before boarding. Most tour operators (Cajun Encounters, Gray Line) pick up at major hotels — confirm your storage drop is on the pickup route.
