Photos back to the ship. 

 

Lots of ships in port... getaway, sun, (2) costa ships, seven seas explorer, royal Caribbean and Disney dream was docking as we returned. 

 

Regent seven seas explorer and NCL Sun are at the Punta Longasta pier. Both owned by Norwegian holdings.

Few more shots before we headed back to wash the salt off before dinner.

 

The water was cold today. 

 

Weather was perfect, warm and breezy.

Really have to love this big eyesore blocking my view!

Hi there! Thanks for all the great pics and info!! Really enjoying it!  I'm debating taking some work with me on our trip (Jan 12th) Is the internet reliable enough to upload files? (smaller than 15mb) I'm flexible in the time of day. I was thinking of upgrading to unlimited. Any thoughts on this? Thanks! Chris

Grasshoppers.... because why not!

If you get the premium,  you'll be ok. I have no issues uploading videos or pictures.

I had this lamb on the Getaway Transatlantic in October. Just wonderful! Whoever had this made a great choice. Even though there are more good choices on the menu.

Just spent 3 days in New Orleans last month when sailing on the Getaway and could not disagree more with your assessment.  

 

We LOVED New Orleans....the food, the charm, the history....it was fabulous.

Im also looking forward to not only visiting Bourbon street but many other sites a bit off the beaten path like the World War 2 museum, Mardi Gras World, Audubon Aquarium and Zoo just to name a few......lots of great places to explore.

Back in my hotel room, counting the hours till the cruise.

 

New Orleans is a town  I just have no interest in seeing again. Everyone raves about how awesome it is, Bourbon Street... well no thanks. It's just as dirty as anywhere else, but with more drunk people on the streets... Less than Vegas. Bourbon Street and Broadway Street in Nashville have a lot in common.

 

 

Maybe I didn't experience enough of it for more days.

 

Oh my. You only go to bourbon street if you must check the box or you wanna get wasted. There's so many better spots in NOLA! Many are closer to the Sheraton than bourbon too.

Day 4 dailies.

Guess what? Time change!
