Your thoughts on cruise options out of NOLA? I would like to take the wife on a vacation, and a Carnival cruise crossed my mind. I am a little hesitant to book because I remember seeing one of their boats in the Bahamas, (when I was on a Disney Cruise), and it looked like a floating dump!

Carnival is typically known as the ghetto cruise line.

the Dream is the best one of the two Carnival. when are you planning on going? there is a NcL and a Royal Caribbean vessel here until the spring as well.

Carnival is cheap. Go Norwegian or Royal Caribbean for nicer.

Went Carnival dream about 4 weeks ago out of New Orleans. Never been on Carnival before. Been on Royal Carribean. Really thought the Dream was pretty good. Dinner food was really good and enjoyed my time. Would go on this ship again.

Just got off a Cruise. Carnival gets a bad rap on here but has a lot more to do than Norweigen and the food is good too. Want more of an upper crust feel? Get a suite or a Balcony above deck 10 and you will be isolated in the Spa and Serenity area.

Cruised on the Dream out of Ft. Lauderdale before it came to NOLA. Nice ship. We always cruise out of Florida because the ships are larger and more cruise line options. Cruised on both Carnival and Royal Caribbean several times. I prefer Royal Caribbean over Carnival . Our next cruise is on the Independence of the Seas. More activities for teens.

I heard on the radio earlier that Viking Cruises has chosen New Orleans as their first US port. Will start cruises in 2016.

I believe Viking is nicer than Carnival and Royal Caribbean.

I'm going on a cruise in April. I've been on NCL twice and loved it, but this time we are going on the Carnival Dream. I'm kind of apprehensive that the trip won't be as nice as I've heard mixed reviews on Carnival. We have a couple of small kids and I heard they were more geared towards that. I guess we'll see.

If you went on a disney cruise you will be pretty disappointed with carnival.
