Guide to the Mississippi River out of NOLA

[maldenmusic]

Once upon a time, someone posted a link for a mile by mile guide to the sights along the Mississippi River after leaving the port. It pointed out old plantations, historical areas, etc. Does anyone know where I can find this again? I am leaving April 11 for a cruise out of NOLA and always enjoy the time on the river.

The trip down the river was very enjoyable! It's amazing how much business is done that far down the river. And on the way back, it seems like we entered the waterway around 8pm. There were ships passing back and forth all night, and around 10pm a Carnival ship passed right beside us! I only wish I had been on deck at the time (was in Galaxy for Second City so I could at least see it out the windows).

 

This was also a great time to go down and observe the bridge below the Galaxy. No autopilot during the trek back up the river as there were several crew members working hard to get us home safely.
