This was our second time on Triumph. Last year we did the 4 night to Coz.
We drove in from the north so we stayed in Hammond the night before. Would have liked to have stayed closer, but for some reason, hotel prices were outrageous this particular weekend in NOLA. Best Western in Hammond was adequate but nothing special either. We went a little out of our way to take the causeway bridge because we had never been on it. It's cool but be aware there is a $3.00 toll.
First mistake was using the Fulton Place garage. Trust me when I say to fork over the extra $20 for the port parking garage.
Riviera forward. Noisy when the ship was dropping the ropes in port. Otherwise, no complaints.
