The City of New Orleans has been hard at work refurbishing and expanding its Julia Street Cruise Terminal so that New Orleans can put itself back on the map as a cruise line hub and give The Crescent City a shot in the arm after Hurricane Katrina decimated the cruise business here.
The good news is officials working on the project expect the work to be complete just in time to welcome Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas.
Port of New Orleans spokesman Chris Bonura is excited to welcome one of Royal Caribbean's massive liners to New Orleans, "It's the largest ship that we've ever home-ported here in New Orleans. It's 1,020 feet and it holds approximately 3,110 passengers."
