The stay at the Hilton Hotel was just ok. The Hotel is very large and difficult to navigate. We checked in at the hotel because we did the premium tour of New Orleans. Check in was fairly easy. The tour of New Orleans was very good. They dropped us off right at the cruise ship and our bags were right in our room.

First the ship. It is beautiful! The wood, brass fine decorations are all kept up and are lovely to look at. Everything is very ornate, but so pretty. Our cabin #214 was very comfortable. Not large, but the picture window was perfect as we hit a cold spell and sitting outside was really not an option for most of the trip. The one & only thing that we did not like about the cabin is the walls are thin, and you can hear the TV and speaking next door if they are loud. That did not bother us too much because they seemed to retire for the night before us, but that can be an issue for some people.

Now for the dining. All I can say is gourmet for every meal. The food was delicious. No matter what you ordered, sit down or buffet, it was exceptional taste and quality. Can not say enough about the dining experience. The service everywhere was also exceptional. Julian, our dinner waiter was great. Table mates were fun and interesting. No matter what we wanted on the ship, we were helped with a smile and promptly. The entertainment was first class. We were on music of the 60's and we enjoyed every night in the beautiful showroom. No too much for activities.

Cabin Review

Cabin E

Very comfortable mattress. Pretty furniture. Very ornate décor and wallpaper. Good location on the ship. A bit small but very doable. Bathroom was a decent size for a ship. No nice from the hallway, but some you can hear people next door if they happen to be loud. We ordered extra bottles of water and ice. We had that everyday. The room is cleaned and made up twice a day.
