"Worst cruise ever" was what we would say when we were having a great time on the ship. After reading so many reviews of complaints and whining we decided to make fun of those people.
Stayed downtown New Orleans the day before the cruise at the Omni Royal. It was great. There were 16 of us out on Bourbon Street the night before the cruise and had a great time. I would recommend the dueling piano bar.
Embarkation was great. Arrived at the port about 11:30 and was on the ship by 12:00 even though there was a long line it went quickly.
Cabin was fine. A little cramped compared to others of same class. Having the larger balcony was worth it for us.
