We stayed in New Orleans 3 days prior to our cruise and I highly recommend this. So much to see, spend time in the French Quarters, go to Brouban Street. You will not be disappointed. We took the trolly to the French Market ( go early to avoid the rush). In the French Market, Prices are high for what you are getting, so buyer beware. Next stop was Jackson Square- a must for all. From there we walked to Brouban Street and had a wonderful time. . Right next to Harrah's casino is " Mannings" owed by Patton Mannings dad.- excellent food, service and moderately priced. Highly recommend it!

Now onto the cruise. We usually cruise with Princess and RCL, so this was the first time with Norwegian . What a mistake. Our cabin had a baloney that had what appeared to be a old rusty chair and a lounge chair, that could only be used as a chair. Very small baloney and the outdoor carpet was disgusting. Our cabin was also very tiny compared to the baloney rooms on the other ships. Storage space is minimal, we put our suitcases under the bed to have room in the closet.

Food- was terrible, no taste and limited selection. We ate in the main dining room every night, except one and was very disappointed. In comparison to other cruise lines, this is the worst food we have ever had. Several nights, I just got a salad and appetizers, as the main selection, had been served previous nights. The steak is tough, the salmon is frozen and tasteless, the chicken- you could make better at home, even the fillet was so tough, our whole table sent it back. Our server was excellent.
