Additional details
Transportation: we drove from Indiana to New Orleans to catch the cruise. Going down, terrible rain resulted in a 14 hour trip. After the cruise, the weather was fantastic and because it was New Years Eve, the roads were empty - no truckers. We got home in a little over 12 hours.
Hotel: We stayed 2 nights prior to the cruise at the Hampton Inn Convention Center in New Orleans. This is not your typical "chain" hotel. Local ambiance, great fitness center, breakfast was wonderful, self laundry, exceptional proximity to pier - we walked to it. Valet parking only - $29 per night. Less than a mile walk to French Quarter.
Parking: We parked at Fulton Street parking garage for $12 per night for cruisers. It is a 1 block walk from the hotel to the parking garage. It is 2 blocks from the garage to the cruise port. Easily walkable with rolling luggage.
Cabin Review
Interior Stateroom
Cabin had tons of storage. A family of 4 who clearly overpacked, ended up with room for everything. The stateroom decorations and color schemes are out of date. The loveseat was very uncomfortable! Our room still had an old TV not a flat screen like some rooms had. The cabin accommodated 4 people for sleeping very nicely. The ladders to reach the bunks can be stored in the closet so that they do not block the floor space, TV, mini-fridge, safe, and storage unit.
