[makayjean]

I'd appreciate hearing from former Sensation cruisers about their experience on the ship and also any helpful hints they might want to share about New Orleans

Great pics, thanks for sharing them. Any idea of some decent but moderately priced hotels offering parking and shuttle service to the port?

I have not been to NOLA, so I am not sure... I know many in our group are staying at the Clarion... we are going to do the Priceline thing and hope for the best! Once we book our rooms, I'll let you know!

I'm a native New Orleanian. I'd suggest the Hilton Riverside. It's convenient to the dock, and I understand if you hit it just right, they offer a special for cruisers, including parking. (I'm going on the Sensation 11/1.)

Loved the Sensation this past October. So much that I have booked a friend and her husband sailing out this Wednesday.

Have fun in November
