WWL.com is reporting that the Port of New Orleans continues to attract cruise passengers.
The story states, “We are on pace to surpass our 2017 milestone for cruise passengers,” says Donnell Jackson, Media Relations Manager for the port. “In 2017, we saw more than 1.15 million cruise passengers.”

I guess the leaders of JaxPort and the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce prefer tourism dollars to go elsewhere!!!!
