I have never been to New Orleans, it was very hot and I was with two people who couldn't walk around a lot so it was a little challenging, but overall it was a good experience to see a new city. We went out to eat and we enjoyed the gumbo and creole and we just enjoyed being in a new city. Read Less

Embarkation was great but disembarkment was terrible. Part of the problem was a lack of organization with the bus transportation from Mobile. Read Less

Great Port city to spend a couple days visiting either before or after the cruise. The Port is easy to get through. I have gone through New Orleans several times and it has never taken more than 30 mins to get on the ship once we arive. The key is to arrive at your assigned time. Read Less

We stayed in the French Quarter for a week. This vacation was geared to the children, so we did things like the zoo, storyland, etc. The World War II Museum was soooo well done. War is not my thing, but this was quite an experience. The Mardi Gras museum was very colorful and informative. Read Less

We spent the day before our cruise, as well as the day after our cruise, exploring New Orleans. Cafe du Monde, beignets, French Quarter, second line parades (at least 3!) and, the WWII Museum. We ate red beans and rice, boudin balls and remoulade, gumbo and more! We even made our way to a quirky little comedy club that turned out to be some sort of training venue for comedians...The New Movement. It was.......weird. We were the only paying customers in attendance (the rest of the audience was comprised of fellow comedians/students?) but they made us feel welcome and we laughed a lot. Not bad for $8/person.

Left and returned from New Orleans. Really need more time there. The cruise added an included tour. The World War II museum. Definitely a must see place. Downside, we only had two hours there. Not enough time. Some on tour opted to get back to the ship on their own and were able to stay at the museum longer. The other included tour was Oak Alley plantation. We were told this was nice. Unfortunately could not do both. Read Less

First time in New Orleans and we had a great time, even in the rain. Bourbon street was amazing and I am glad I was able to experience Mardi Gras at least once in my life, checked it off my bucket list. Read Less

We stayed in the French Quarter the night before our cruise and went to Irene’s restaurant for dinner - really good Read Less

Not completely clear of directions of the lines but we were going on basically by ourselves so we could figure it out. Read Less

While we didn't take a Excursion in New Orleans we did go down and stay in New Orleans the weekend prior to the cruise. It was fantastic. The food in that city is absolutely amazing just know you're going to gain at least 5 lbs by going there. But it is absolutely worth it Read Less
