I generally go for Happy Hour to sunset and it's low-key. It gets sucky at night when there are lots of wedding parties in town.

 

If you thought the biscuit at District was good, try the bacon, egg and cheese one! it will ruin you for breakfast biscuits!

 

You also walked past my house! perfect day for city strolling. This weather is gorgeous.

Greg....I am so enjoying all the pictures and commentary!   are you walking...doing a tour....so many things are familiar to me...example...Anne Rice...read many of her books.... and now need to find that movie!!   so anyway thanks a bunch for all the effort you put into your reviews!!

Also fun fact -- the Morris-Israel House is now owned by Zion Williamson and his family, if h ever decides to return to town. 🥴

 

The Mannings downsized to Audubon Park last summer. The estate sale was amazing.

[Saint Greg]

John Goodman’s house. Big tent set up for a lot of people. Looks like he’s having or had quite a party.

and I'm just imagining that you have walked by the Real World New Orleans house a bunch of times already....the Belfort Mansion, just 4 1/2 blocks from your hotel on St Charles 🙂  That was a pretty epic place to put their house 🙂 and I guess, yes, I'm THAT age haha

Robinson house. The flat roof was used to collect rain water for the plumbing and drinking water.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

Sandra Bullock’s house

 

 

 

 

 

[Saint Greg]

A LOT of walking tours going on. I feel like I’ve crossed paths with a dozen of them in the past hour. They weren’t happening when I first started but they’re all going on now.

 

 

 

 

 

[Saint Greg]

Probably more than a dozen. I just saw 3 on the same block

[Saint Greg]

There’s a jet flying around at a high rate of speed but I’m never where I can see it. I’m guessing from Belle Chasse NAS. I think they have F-18’s.

[Saint Greg]

Great weather today btw

Actually I haven’t been by there yet. It’s on St Charles and the opposite direction of where I went last night. Maybe this afternoon.

@Saint Greg....no rush in answering this, as I do not want to disrupt your precruise fun.

 

If I don't post now, more than likely I won't remember, senior thing!

 

Back in the 90's when I first started cruising I was cruising as a solo.  Carnival had a single share program back then so I never had to pay a single supplement.

 

Question is how are the single supplements these days, reasonable?

I am really enjoying your pictures and commentary. My daughter and son in law used to live in the Garden District so your pics are really bringing  back a lot o memories. Thanks !

non-existent. I pretty much pay double. Except for my panorama cruise. Around then you could get 1A guarantees at a reasonable rate and they upgraded me to a regular interior. That cruise I paid about half of what I paid for panorama in 2020. vista had deals but I was already booked in a 4j and they were sold out so no price drops. I could’ve downgraded from the 4j maybe.
 

No deals for me on this cruise. I booked it two years ago when they were first released them and  I paid as much for it as I did for Alaska.
