New Orleans: flight after disembarking Magic

[vakamalua]

Will be on the 3/3 6-night Magic out of NOLA. We have a 12:15 return flight booked after cruise. Does disembarkation go quickly? Would a DCL transfer get us to the airport on time or better to get our own transportation? Are taxis readily available at the port?
Thanks for any info on sailing from NOLA!

When we sailed the Wonder out of NOLA we were at the airport (via Uber) before 10. 12:15 is fine. Disney recommends no earlier than noon. TSA Pre-check is helpful too, but you should be fine either way.

The cruise dock in NOLA is basically right next to the French Quarter. There are lots of taxi/uber/lyft vehicles circulating around that area. Depending on how many of you there are, the DCL transfer may be less expensive.

At any rate, either way will get you to the airport in plenty of time as long as the ship docks on schedule.
