New Orleans Romantic Cruises Reviews

The cruise itself was affordable and a great way to celebrate a birthday. The weather was very overcast for the most part but still enjoyed the beauty of the islands and ocean. I had a spa service that was excellent, a deep tissue massage. The group I was with all enjoyed numerous spa services and were very pleased. We did lose a passenger this trip and that was definitely a situation I hope many ...

First time on Carnival. Flew to New Orleans from Ohio on Sunday. Boarding Monday morning was easy. Two bags left with porters and moved quickly after checks of vaccination cards, testing papers and passport. 15 minutes and we were on the ship. Went to Lido deck and had good burritos, tacos at Blue Iguana cafe. Muster drill was so easy. Went to station, we were the only ones there. 5 minutes ...

This was my third cruise on Carnival in 4 months. My first out of NOLA. The terminal in NOLA is very nice, we walked right through and checked in quickly. Once on the ship, we had a suite, so we got our stateroom right away. The room was wonderful. The cruise was only about 50% capacity so we never had to stand in line or wait long for food or drinks. Overall, the staff was not as friendly as the ...

Recently completed our 2nd cruise on the Valor. The only ship we have ever sailed on twice. Was it a different experience? Yes, but would have to be because of the pandemic. Some things were better or at least about the same and some were not as good. When comparing I will start with the entertainment. The offering in the Red Frog Pub (Our go to hangout) was not near as entertaining as our ...

The Valor is an older ship and she shows her age some, however, it's still a great boat and an awesome experience! We sailed out of New Orleans and ported in Cozumel and Progreso in January. The weather was a little on the brisk side till we got further south. I could spend most of my time on the boat bc they have so many things to do. We ended up upgrading our room to a balcony last second and ...

This was our 3rd and 4th cruises on the Glory out of New Orleans. The first cruise was supposed to be to Grand Cayman and Jamaica, but a week or two before the cruise it was changed to Belize and Roatan. So we did back to back cruises to the same ports, Roatan, Belize and Cozumel. The second cruise was just in reverse, Cozumel, Belize and Roatan. This was our first time to Belize and Roatan. ...

This was our 5th on NCL. Always liked it for the kids and better than average food. This time, I was bullied into a family suite in the Haven. Overall: 1. The booking process and dealing with NCL people off and onboard was uniformly pleasant even though I had a minor pricing kerfuffle pre-sail that we worked out. Very service oriented. Good for NCL. 2. Cabin is well laid out with ...

Overall, Breakaway Norwegian is very nice and clean. For me, the best dining options were The Manhattan, Ocean Blue, Taste, and Savor. The lone bad dining experience was at Hibachi Restaurant. The food was not good and the chef was terrible. My wife and I laughed the entire time due to the disbelief of how bad it really was. However, that one lone bad dining experience would not sway me ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted to leave from New Orleans again. We did it several years ago and liked going down the River. New Orleans has not changed much, Bourbon Street is still trashy and smells worse than I remember. This was our 11th cruise and was not sure what to expect after Covid. Embarkation went pretty smooth, not much changed there, except for the mask thing. We went right to ...

We are frequent cruisers with over twenty five trips in as many years. This was typical of the passengers on this trip - retired people. Many of the passengers take multiple cruises per year, often back-to-back on the same ship. Only a couple of children on this trip. A lot of scooters and walkers on the ship, but fewer than on a Princess cruise. A lot of brand loyal Carnival people talked ...
