We were traveling in a group of 12 people ranging in age from 15 to 52. We all are non drinkers, but do like to dance and have a good time.

We arrived the day before our embarkation at the Quality Inn and Suites in Gretna, LA. This hotel offered a park and cruise package for 4 people at a cost of $145 tax included. The hotel well served its purpose and provided a good breakfast. Algiers Point Ferry is only about 3 miles away and will drop you off at Canal St., to view New Orleans. The parking at the ferry was $10.

We toured the downtown area of New Orleans and eat a late lunch at Mother's. The food was incredibly good! Some in our group and Po boy's and I had the fried oysters, turnip greens, and potato salad. The turnip greens were the best that I have ever eaten. We also went to Cafe Dumonde's for beignets and they were awesome! Read more
