We will be getting back from cruise at 830 in morning, our train leaves 145 can we store our luggage in new Orleans station so we can walk around and also how early can we check baggage?
Keeping the app with you, active and checking your train arrival time often, will help you gauge when you need to be back at the station.
A visit to NOL deserves much more than a short visit. One day will scratch the surface. Two or more days really are needed. It's a great city!
My experience at NOL Union Station: taxis are not plentiful even when a train arrives.
On the other hand, the streetcar is just a short walk and you can't beat the price if your hotel is near a stop. (Seniors were $.70 a couple of years ago).My experience at NOL Union Station: taxis are not plentiful even when a train arrives. One has to wait. And wait, if you don't get one of the few available soon after arrival. Having a phone number which you can call if whatever transportation you choose to use is not available is a good idea. The on duty Amtrak agent was of no use when I complained about the lack of transportation. I asked for him to call for a taxi. Refused to do so. More will come, he said.
Even more confusing at NOL is where the pick-up location for guests is for such transportation.

As to taxi/Uber pickup - it's right in front of the main entrance.
