Review summary

We will definitely be returning to the New Orleans port. The drive down was relaxing and the cruise was everything a vacation should be. Planning another cruise soon ...

We got there just a little early. Embarkation was much faster than we expected.

Thanks for the perspective seen through a different lens. Out of 5 ports, New Orleans ranks last on my list. Port of Long Beach is #1 for a well-oiled machine! I enjoyed your review.
