Baton Rouge would be one of the stops where you don’t get off the boat.

If it were really a day trip, I'd use that to go to football games.
that's 130+ miles from nola to BR. Would be a miserable trip back home after the game

Would just be cool to say you did it.

That's a long vacation on a boat though. Probably expensive as hell also

Anyone know where in Baton Rouge it will dock. This ship looks much larger than the Mississippi Queen and Delta Queen which use the dock just upstream of the Kidd.

The paper clip dock was not designed for a ship of that mass.
