Creator's Key Takeaways

New Orleans is probably one of the funnest cities to cruise out from

the boarding process in New Orleans was a little bit chaotic due to the lack of signage

I never ever get a service at a spot anymore because the Hard Sell of products after a massage for example just ruins the experience for me

the overall experience on the Norwegian Getaway was a great one leaving from New Orleans had a big impact on the cruise

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated, as the drink package no longer includes bottled water.

✓Make reservations ahead of time for dining during peak times.

✓Skip the buffet for breakfast and eat at one of the dining rooms for better food.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Navigating the cruise terminal in New Orleans — Take an Uber if you have a lot of luggage; hotels on Canal Street are central.

Spa upselling — Avoid spa services due to heavy pressure to upsell products.

Port cancellations — Be aware that Norwegian may cancel ports after final payment to save money.
