First, let me start by saying I am shocked by the number of negative reviews. The embarkation process was a little slow but no big deal. From the moment we stepped on the ship, everyone crew member on board was extremely friendly. We ate the Garden Cafe buffet for breakfast and lunch everyday. The food was very good and they had a great selection, even for my wife who is a vegetarian. We ate the specialty restaurants at night. They were excellent. Our favorites were Teppanyaki (Salvadore is amazing), La Cucina, and Cagney's.
The cruise director (Dingo Dave) was awesome. I consider myself picky when it comes to food and you will not be disappointed. The entertainment was also excellent. We will definitely take this cruise again
Very boring port.
Went to Mr. Sanchos. Great food and drinks all day with your personal waiter.
Just went to shop and enjoy large pool. Beware of taking taxi downtown. People bug you to buy stuff nonstop.
Enjoyed walking around downtown New Orleans.
