We had a group of 14 of us on this cruise. For some of us it was our second cruise for some it was their first. I'm going to do a quick review and hope I remember everything.
New Orleans:
We came into New Orleans a day early and stayed at the Homewood Suites. Nice place but over priced. The highly of our trip was the swap tour with Cajun Pride Swap Tours. They are top notch and will go again soon. If you want a true Louisiana experience please look them up and book your tour with them. You wont be disappointed!!
Great room as far as placement. It is directly above the casino band and they play until 1:00AM nearly every night. It's so loud you can hear every single word they are singing. I'm not a light sleeper so it didn't really bother me but wouldn't book this room again. It was very warm at night and didn't seem like the a/c was working well. There are tons of storage spaces and the balcony was great. Plenty of storge in the bathroom along with a clothesline in the shower.
