Review summary

Cruise was great including the weather and especially the ports. The worst thing about this cruise is the New Orleans port. A train came by right as people were disembarking and caused a log jam. People could not cross over the tracks, busses and shuttles could not move. We were all locked down for about 45 minutes as the train crawled at a snails pace by the waiting passengers both trying to get off and the passengers trying to get on. I will never go out of this port again. The Best port I have gone out of is the CLOSED Houston port. Parking is across the street and access and digress is outstanding. The facility is awesome. Why this port was vacated I will never understand. My only recourse will be to use the Galveston port and use the cruise lines that utilize it.

I have sailed on the jewel when she was in Houston. I agree, Houston was the best!!

New Orleans during Mardi Gras season is ALWAYS a hard way to cruise with the city filled with people trying to move about
