• Background Information
My husband (40) and I (32) took this cruise (which was my first, his second) along with my brother and sister-in-law (our best friends!) This was an adults-only trip for us meaning that our 2 kids were left with Grandma (much to the chagrin of my 10 year old!) We live not too far away from New Orleans and were even lucky enough to have someone who could drop us off at the dock, so no parking or taxi fees for us (YAY!)
I won't give a blow-by-blow account of our every day; there are other reviews that talk about the ports, who to use for excursions, etc. I will tell you the info I wish I knew before the trip or the things I just HAVE to mention! (Sit back and relax: I'm a little long-winded!!)
