PRE CRUISE- Three couples drove from Memphis,TN to New Orleans. LA. We stayed at the Hoilday Inn Superdome. They provided accomadations, parking while(6days) away on the cruise and shuttle to cruise terminal for $130.

Embarkation- We arrived at 1145 and the line extended well outside of the building. It took 20 minutes to reach the line for security. The security line took about 30 minutes to get through and then we stood in another line to get processed onto the ship, another 30 minutes. It was well after 1:00 when we boarded and our cabins were ready. YAY

Only Complaint, the oceanview windows were dirty. The ships decor appeared to be a bit more classy than the others, especially for its age.
