bw0706 Posted June 17, 2009 #3 Share Posted June 17, 2009 For us it was between 7 and 8 hours. For some reason it seem that either the trip down or the trip back up (sorry, I can't remember which) went a little faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA Lady Posted July 14, 2009 #5 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Last night on Fantasy, late seating for dinner, you could definitely tell when we re-entered the Mississippi. Everything was swaying back and forth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiarigirl Posted July 19, 2009 #6 Share Posted July 19, 2009 It took us about 16 hours. That was because one of the engines broke and we had to drop anchor in the mississippi at about 8:00 at night and didnt get going again until 4 am, it was kind of funny big tex kept coming on overhead saying he was just reporting there was nothing to report. I think people kept bugging him so it was the easiest way to tell them to let them do their work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pseudochicken Posted September 23, 2009 #11 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I am looking to sail on the Triumph out of NOLA on the 4th of January. Is there a particular side that's better for a balcony? Just curious. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescot123 Posted September 24, 2009 #12 Share Posted September 24, 2009 About 4 years ago, I went on the NCL Sun from N.O. The boatd left at around 5pm. The following morning, at breakfast, people asked us if we were awoken with the boat leaning over. Apparently at about 1am, the boat reached the gulf of Mexico and hit some bad turbelance. This caused the boat to lean over quite a bit. Luckily for me I was asleep. Some staff in the shops said that some merchandise like perfume bottles got damaged by this movement.
