re: Best Cruise out of New Orleans

Carnival is your only option out of New Orleans for the summer months. Norwegian takes it's ships to Europe from May to September. If you are willing to drive to Galveston then you get the option of a Royal Carribean ship. Royal Carribean is marginally nicer but probably not worth the extra cost and drive time IMO.
All the cruises from NOLA and Galveston go to Cozumel. So your only other choice (assuming a 7 day cruise) is do you prefer Roatan and Belize City or Grand Cayman and Jamaica. Both options have their pros and cons of course. Roatan has the most pristine beaches and best snorkelling from the beach out these four options.
Cruising out of New Orleans was fairly painless from BR. Not having to catch a flight or drive 5 hours is a huge bonus especially since I am travelling with kids.

That night snaking through the Miss River and on the way back is the only thing I hate about cruising out of New Orleans, plus I live in LA, don't need the NO port. Galveston is so much better to get out of and you are going to pretty much the same places.

The ability to sail Royal Caribbean (Liberty of the Seas - Dreamworks Cruise) or Disney out of Galveston is pretty big.

What ship are you referring to?
The Liberty of the Seas (especially out of Dry Dock last year) is pretty amazing. Two big water slides, the Flowrider, ice skating, unlimited alcohol packages (as opposed to limited package), HUGE kids water play area and generally a better clientele.
I will say the staff on Carnival is great and while on board we thought we got better service with carnival but the ship, entertainment, clientele and pool deck was much better on Liberty of the Seas.
Food is about a wash but if I had to pick I'd say main dining room food on the dream is slightly better, specialty dining on Liberty is better and buffet I'd lean Liberty as well.
