This year we brought out 12 year old son with us for his first cruise.
New Orleans:
I really like New Orleans. I love the food. I will say that this time we went in Sept. instead of Nov like we did last time. It was much hotter!!! I'm from the Midwest and am pretty used to 90's but it was just so much more humid this year than last year. I'm not sure if this was the cause or not, but there was a much more distinct odor this time as we walked around. Rotting garbage smell. It was horrible and very noticeable by everyone. Again, it's possible this was because it was just so humid that it made it that much more apparent.
Quiet room. Felt no movement. close enough to two stairwells that it was easy to pick one or the other depending on where we were going
