Sailed out of New Orleans January 22-29 with a group of 10. Really enjoy sailing out of New Orleans. Such a unique expierience sailing down the Mississippi. We came to New Orleans a couple days early to take in all that New Orleans has to offer. Everyone had a good time. Stayed at the Riverside Hilton which is a good location for New Orleans exploring and as an added bonus allows you to walk through the outlet mall to the ship. We arrived at 11 a.m. And were on board by noon. Had lunch at the garden buffet and set out to explore the ship and its changes. The addition of O'Sheehans is a nice improvement.

All ports were great. Had great weather all four stops. Didn't do any ship excursions we just enjoy going to a local beach, enjoying the sunshine, and relaxing.

Dining was good to great. Ate twice in Teppenyaki, once at Cagney's, and once at Le Bistro. All were really good. Ate all breakfast's and lunches in Garden cafe which was fine. Read more
