Background Information:

This was our seventh cruise, the second with Princess. We sailed on the Grand at this time last year and were so impressed we booked on board with the Future Cruise Consultant. This time we talked my BIL and SIL into going. Their first cruise but definitely not their last. They are hooked!

We drove in so no hotel info; but the drive once we got into NOLA was quite interesting. Getting to the Poland St. Terminal was an experience. Street signs were hard to see or non-existent, so we ended up taking more twists and turns than we should have. It was interesting to see the houses still marked with the info from the Katrina searchers. Read more
