The next morning we got up bright and early for one last breakfast on the ship.
We were so sad to leave!
We dropped our luggage off with a service that would take your bags from the dock to the airport and hold them there for you so we could enjoy the city without dragging bags with us. Then we jumped on the trolley and headed into New Orleans.
Everyone we talked to about New Orleans told us that we had to go to Cafe Du Monde, so that was our first stop to try the amazing beignets.
They were so delicious - and SO covered in powdered sugar!
We all had it all over us by the time we were done.
Then we wandered the city, of course we had to try on mardi gras masks :)
We took a long walk up to one of the cemeteries in the city - it was definitely worth it. It was pretty cool to see all the old tombstones and the water line from hurricane floods. Unfortunately my camera died at this point! I forgot to charge it before we left the boat :( so, I don't have any other pictures. But after the cemetery, we wandered the city some more and then took a carriage ride around. We had a delicious lunch - I love the food in New Orleans! And then caught a shuttle to the airport to head for home. I can't wait for my next cruise!!
