New Orleans Romantic Cruises Reviews

If you're in the market for a cruise vacation, the Carnival Glory is a solid choice. I recently spent seven days on the ship, and found it to be the perfect amount of time. Not too long, but long enough to fully experience all the amenities the ship has to offer. I've been on two cruises out of New Orleans, and it's my favorite departure location. The Glory is starting to show its age a bit, ...

TLDR: It looks like cruising is back to pre-covid standards - more or less. Embarkation: New Orleans is always a nightmare getting to the port. I realize this isn't under Carnival's direct control, but it seems like they'd have some power to get New Orleans to figure out some way to get this organized better. But once inside the terminal, things went smoothly and quickly. Food: Food ...

Overall, had a great time. Frequent Norwegian cruisers but choose Carnival based on exact sailing date and location. Carnival better than Norwegian - Embarkation: Fast, easy, and on ship less than 15 minutes. Keys waiting at room. no waiting in lines, giving credit card, checking in with passports ect - Bar service: No waits, even at pools - Dining service: Server knew our ...

We have done several NCL cruises including Breakaway. We have never sailed in December but had credit that would expire so this fit our work/school schedules. First, the terminal at Port of New Orleans is kind of a mess. Glad we had been before as we saw many confused & lost groups. Time for NCL to pony up some money here for improvements. We stayed nearby for one night before then walked to ...

We were given this cruise as top 50 players in our local casino. It was a very easy process from start to finish. We were given a club suite balcony room deck 13 (13196). The room was great except there were no outlets near the bedside which was strange and annoying as I tripped over cords all night. The balcony was small but it worked for late night views of outside and fresh air. The TV was also ...

Some contexts of our cruising experiences in the past. My wife and I have gone on 25 + cruises over 43 years. Our first five and last five on NCL. As time has gone on, we have wanted more of our Cruising Experience. We started with the most inexpensive inside cabin during our honeymoon 43 years ago. Five years ago, we found the NCL Haven and loved it. The Haven Premium was a bit to much for ...

Winter was coming and after our "return to cruising" in 2022- the one thing I really, really needed after 20 days at sea was a longish cruise :) Nine days was just right and Oceanview cabins were very reasonable. We decided to fly vs drive- fares on Southwest were quite good, and Southwest does not charge for checked baggage and has good legroom. There were even a few "new to us" ports. Seven ...

My family had not been on a cruise since summer of 2019 when we had a fabulous time on the NCL Joy. Since the kids had the full week of Thanksgiving off, we decided we were overdue for a cruise. We had been on the Breakaway out of New York in 2014 so we were familiar with the ship already. Plus we had never been to New Orleans so that was a bonus. We got a great deal on airfare through NCL and I ...

This was our second sailing since the lockdowns, and Jan 2020. Had 17 cancels and re-books. Did a Royal late October. Did this Carnival to get a comparison in today's covid environment. We have been on 35+ cruises. As we booked this kind of late. We did not have a lot balcony choices. Our cabin was 6456. We did the any time timing. Had to use the app to tell the system we were ready to eat. ...

Background: We had initially booked a cruise on another Carnival ship for October 2020, but when that was cancelled due to COVID shutdowns, we decided to wait a while before using our rebooking incentive. When it finally appeared as though the return to cruising was getting near, we got serious about rebooking. This sailing on the Valor caught our eye as we had never sailed out of New Orleans ...
