daliflor Posted March 25, 2013 Author #726 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Dessert time!!! Had the Bananas Foster - a Palace Cafe favorite! Fresh bananas sautéed tableside in brown sugar and cinnamon, then flambéed with banana liqueur and rum, served over vanilla bean ice cream 7- VIDEO (the making of the Bananas Foster @ Palace Cafe in NOLA): VIDEO (the making of the Bananas Foster @ Palace Cafe in NOLA): Voila! The final product is now ready: With the dessert, at Jennifer's recommendation, I decided to try one of the specialty coffees: Palace Cafe Coffee - Nocello, Chambord, Community Coffee and whipped cream, topped with dark chocolate bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daliflor Posted March 25, 2013 Author #727 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Once we arrived at NOLA'S Palace Cafe, we were immediately taken back to an era of hospitality and Southern food. Great atmosphere, delicious food, good service, beautiful building and interior decor, and stellar location on Canal Steet will have me coming back one day!

daliflor Posted March 28, 2013 Author #730 Share Posted March 28, 2013 The Country Inn &Suites hotel is convenient located in the heart of Downtown New Orleans, on Magazine Street. This historic hotel is comprised of seven 19th-century buildings, giving it a charming, boutique feel that "artfully blends old world charm with modern comforts." Our 2012 CruiseMiles Party cruise ended on the same joyful note as it started: chatting with friends over drinks... This time not aboard Carnival's Conquest cruise ship to the Western Caribbean but rather by the fireplace at French Quarter's cozy hotel Country Inn & Suites (by Carlson). "The Mississippi is always the same When I watch it from the rocks Of the bank, A little more pollution Each time I visit... French Quarter, New Orleans, Ages past, while ghosts Of my ancestors still walk The cracking streets. New faces constantly And graffiti that begs "Stop the killing!" In a city where the murders Top the nation in their numbers. The sadness of the river, If she could carry the pain away; The relentless flowing Shifting and moving Barges, ships And gambling boats From place to place; New Orleans, I love you!" Cheers, Good night & Good luck !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daliflor Posted March 28, 2013 Author #731 Share Posted March 28, 2013 “A cruise itinerary which begins and ends in New Orleans offers passengers two vacation experiences in one trip," said Gary LaGrange, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Port of New Orleans . "Most passengers will spend a couple of days in New Orleans either before or after their cruises." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daliflor Posted March 28, 2013 Author #732 Share Posted March 28, 2013 On Wednesday morning, the airport shuttle picked some of us at the Country Inn & Suites Hotel on Magazine Street and off we went to the Airport! "The sweet smell of praulines cooking With coffee and chicory" Daily exercise - taking long walks inside the airport on Wednesday early morning! g] Should I mention the sanitary toilets @ NOLA's Airport? : - )) See one for yourself!

daliflor Posted March 28, 2013 Author #733 Share Posted March 28, 2013 " The dove took me all the way to Chigago - the windy city Men I must tell you that it was very windy in the sky in Chicago But we landed safe in Chicago " " Sing the Chicago Blues Sing the Chicago Blues Chicago is the windy city " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daliflor Posted March 28, 2013 Author #734 Share Posted March 28, 2013 HOME, sweet home! "Washington is a city of Southern efficiency and Northern charm." "... anything so delightful as Washington I have never seen elsewhere. There were a mingled simplicity and grandeur, a mingled state and quiet intimacy, a brilliancy of conversation-- the proud prominence of intellect over material prosperity which does not exist in any other city of the Union." Thank you kindly for following along! Until next time: Fair Winds and Following Seas, fellow CruiseCritic members and other loyal viewers! ~ The END! ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trubadur Posted January 21, 2014 #737 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The Carnival cruise was fun.... quality of Celebrity services NOT matched on a Carnival cruise, so Carnival will not be on top three choices for next cruises.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
