EECC Travels Loved them! Next time y'all are in Roatan, check out Little French Key! Love it there. Are you going to be on Dream in April? Were leaving out of Nola on the Dream on 4/15.
+Blue and White we have heard Little French Key is beautiful! We are actually cruising on the Breeze April 1st. We want to cruise this ship before she leaves Galveston.
It was very interesting sailing down the river. We had previously only cruised out of Galveston and when you leave port you are immediately in the gulf.
Hey Y'all! Just stumbled on your channel & wanted to say hey. We live in Nola & are cruise addicts!. Going on the Dream again In Sept. Went on her last Sept (it's our annual anniversary cruise) but can't wait to try all the new additions after dry dock. Great channel & content guys - can't wait to see the rest of your Dream videos. Happy travels!
Hey! So glad you found our channel!!! We love NOLA and try to make it down a couple times a year just to eat! It's amazing that we only live 3 1/2 hours north and the food is so vastly different... We loved the Dream! When we booked the cruise we had no idea there would be upgrades and were actually upset there would be no Guy's so we were so happy to find out about the drydock, the upgrades are great! And you will love the new cruise director Chris, his is awesome! Home you enjoy our other videos :)
That line at Cafe Dumond was nuts. I liked the place but hard pass on waiting that long. Love walking around the French Quarter. Watching the ship tour now.
+mrcoaster1 there is no way I would stand in that line for anything! So we're lucky we found another spot down the road because I really wanted some beignets! We can spends days just walking and eating around NOLA.
Have April cruise booked next. From New Orleans to Belize and Honduras. Did this one 2 years ago. Absolutely loved it. That’s why we going back. Actually discussed doing the Panama Canal but I said I wanted to do the cave float in Belize again. I absolutely loved the Dream. The dive in movie is the best! Leaving in 38 days for costa maya and Cozumel. First time to costa maya. Excited! Any tips for costa maya? I am gold and my partner platinum. We travel quite a bit.
Sounds like you guys travel like we do!! We haven't been to Costa Maya yet, we are going for the first time in November. You'll have to give us some pointers :)
Hi EECC Travels! Where is your family from? My family watched your ship tour of the Carnival Freedom to prepare for our cruise May 20th-27th out of Galveston. Thanks for your video's, they are so informative!
+BreeezySmiles hi there! We live in Alexandria, LA so we are lucky to be in driving distance to two cruise ports! We're so glad you like the videos. Your cruise is right around the corner, how exciting!!! Hope you have a wonderful time!!!
Truth be told, if you're coming into NOLA from the west definitely hit up Morning Call on the East Bank. They are much better and much easier to get lol
Love the new intro! Love the first song on the radio, reminds me from the film Grown Ups. Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day Alisa! Looking forward to seeing the next episode. Have a fantastic week! XxX Jo Ann
Thanks so much! We were having fun singing in the car on the way down to New Orleans. I had a great day with the family today and had two amazing meals cooked for me :) You have a great week too Jo Ann!
I absolutely love watching you guys! My daughter and I have travelled with Carnival twice from Galveston. Thanks to you guys for alleviating the "fear of the unknown!" We have never sailed from New Orleans even though we are from Shreveport, but after watching you guys in New Orleans, we are definitely going to sail from there. Thank you so much for your videos. Your family's chemistry is so wonderful and your videos always put a big smile on my face! God Bless y'all. P.S. I hope Carnival is reading this because you guys are the reason why we travel with them.
+Sharon Adger this is so sweet 😊. We were a bit nervous too to try a new port but we were pleasantly surprised by NOLA! It actually runs way smoother than Galveston! We were in the port, through security and checked in in no time, the line never slowed down. We are so glad to hear you're enjoying the videos and that we are actually helping in making your vacations easier! It really means a lot to us!!!
Thank you so much, we have learned quite a bit from your blogs. Could you tell me where you parked to then get to the ship? We are cruising on the Dream in August and were wondering about the parking. Thanks again!
So glad our videos are helping! We used the Fulton parking garage, it is block away from the port and they have a free shuttle that will drop you off right at the Carnival entrance. If you pre-book online you can save on the fees too.
There's another Cafe Du Monde in the Riverwalk Mall near the cruise terminal that's normally no line and you can walk out by the river to eat them. Not many tourists know about that one. Enjoyed the video!
+Josh Lawson it's been years since I have gone in Riverwalk! Thanks for sharing that tip, we'll have to remember for next time. Glad you enjoyed the video 😀
Hope you have a great time in October! If Cafe Du Monde is too busy like it was when we were there, just find one of the other spots that have beignets, they are all good!
There are several hot sauce bars in NOLA. The one we went it was close to Jackson Square but there is one right near the entrance to the French Market.
We are from Santa Monica California. We are going on the splendor in feb 2018 to mexican Rivera then on the new Horizon oct 6th 2018 to the eastern Caribbean. You should go that cruise! Would love to meet you guys. We are going to start vlogging too! Keep up the great videos!
+Amanda Graves we were in Santa Monica in June! It's so beautiful!!! We are hoping to be able to do two cruises next year. We are going on the Breeze April 1st but would like to do one in the fall too. We'd love to do the Mexican Riviera one day, those ports look beautiful! We'll have to look at the cruises on the Horizon! Let us know when you start posting videos 😀
New Orleans "famous" bginets and coffee? Must not be to famous if I've lived in Louisiana my whole life and never heard of it. HA! Great video as always.
+Connely Chauvin been to NOLA many times and never noticed this place either. They weren't the best beignets but they weren't bad. My favorites are from Cafe Beignet on Bourbon St. 👍
Hey it's me your new best friend Blair, and oh my God I am so ready. I'm starting from the beginning and I'm so excited and I feel like I'm about to watch a TV series, so I got you guys on my big screen TV with my surround sound and I am laying on my couch with my babies and of course I got some snacks, so I'm ready to go on a cruise to the Caribbean with my new best friends okay that part!*🛳️⚓⛵🚤💙💦
Early squad! I am so excited to watch this! I have been thinking about it literally all week! :D Edit: Wow seems like so much fun! Now I really want to go to New Orleans! Btw, the cruise director, didn't you give him a shout out on his youtube channel or something because I reconize him a lot.
Yay, you were our first comment! So glad you enjoyed the video! Yes New Orleans is AMAZING! This was just a tiny preview, we can spend days there and it has some of the best food in the world! We gave a shoutout to Chris in our preview video, but you may also recognize him from our Freedom vlogs, he was the head entertainer on that cruise, he's a lot of fun!
+Jack lewy THE BEST this was a very unusual day... the line in the video was for table service but there was a line even longer on the other side for take out. I have never seen it like that before! And you're right, the ones we had weren't as good.
the table service is seat yourself as well you will never see a local in that line they trick you to get the waiters/tresses but you can walk in and sit and you will be served
I am rewatching these cause I am going on the Dream in February hopefully!!!! Still love your Videos!!!!😍😍
I love new Orleans I was there once when I was little hope to go back sometime in 2021
Wow!!! Death nectar at the hot sauce store!! I buy that every year at a bbq festival in Frisco, Colorado. Had no idea they were so spread out!
Sorry for commenting on old videos, I can’t help but watch constantly as I wait for mine!
Just got done watching your videos from Dream and I probably shouldn't have. I won't be on her again until April of next year. It's a loooong wait!
+Blue and White oh no! I know exactly what you mean!!! Our next cruise is until April either... that is so far away! Hope you enjoyed the videos 😀
EECC Travels Loved them! Next time y'all are in Roatan, check out Little French Key! Love it there. Are you going to be on Dream in April? Were leaving out of Nola on the Dream on 4/15.
+Blue and White we have heard Little French Key is beautiful! We are actually cruising on the Breeze April 1st. We want to cruise this ship before she leaves Galveston.
EECC Travels Oh, yeah, I forgot she's being replaced by Vista. Yay for us living closer to NOLA/Galveston than Miami.. Lol
+Blue and White yep we are really excited about the Vista! It is awesome that we have two ports so close by!
Heard Southern Cross in the background and it made me happy.
Gotta love good music :)
I love sailing down the Mississippi
It was very interesting sailing down the river. We had previously only cruised out of Galveston and when you leave port you are immediately in the gulf.
Classic cruise music to travel to! Can't wait to see the rest of your cruise.
We were listening to Jimmy Buffet radio on Pandora, it is always the perfect cruise music! It was an epic cruise :)

We are going in October! Thank you so much for the home port video! I almost forgot about cafe du mont. (sorry if i misspelled it).
Hope you have a great time in October! If Cafe Du Monde is too busy like it was when we were there, just find one of the other spots that have beignets, they are all good!
I got excited when I saw it and didn't finish watching before i commented 🤗
Theres a cafe dumont in the river walk mall.
Good to know, I haven't been in the River Walk in years!
My hubby is from Joplin Missouri originally.
+Amanda Graves Jason grew up at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri
Hot sauce bar are you heading to the French Market or the other direction?
There are several hot sauce bars in NOLA. The one we went it was close to Jackson Square but there is one right near the entrance to the French Market.
Cafe Du Monde where the tourist go.
It is always so crowded there! We usually go to Cafe Beignet on Bourbon but didn't want to walk that far since we had such a short period of time.
We are from Santa Monica California. We are going on the splendor in feb 2018 to mexican Rivera then on the new Horizon oct 6th 2018 to the eastern Caribbean. You should go that cruise! Would love to meet you guys. We are going to start vlogging too! Keep up the great videos!

Wand I see the Flying Scotsman !!
The Flying Scotsman is AWESOME!!! He is by far the best cruise director we have ever sailed with!!!
Anybody else see the girl at 9:44??
Oh wow! I totally missed that! We were at a pretty good distance and had it zoomed in so I don't think that was aimed at us... at least I hope not...
Yes!! I was going to ask the same thing! like what the heck??? haha.
Leanne Cravak man she messed up our awesome shot of Saints Vader! He was so fun!
🤛✌️👈🖕👈
is the wall of hit sauce in jackson square?
It is right around the corner from Jackson Square. If you are looking at JS from the river it will be to the right on Decatur. It was really cool!
I'm Cameron from EECC Travels
Hey Cameron, this is mom :)
Hi Cameron
Hi
Great video ! Can you please tell me what kind of camera you are using ? Love your videos . On the dream April 19 , thanks
Hey Mark! We use a Canon G7X Mark II. It is a small point and shoot camera that takes crisp pictures and has great stabilization for video.
New Orleans "famous" bginets and coffee? Must not be to famous if I've lived in Louisiana my whole life and never heard of it. HA! Great video as always.
+Connely Chauvin been to NOLA many times and never noticed this place either. They weren't the best beignets but they weren't bad. My favorites are from Cafe Beignet on Bourbon St. 👍
I like that hair Jason

+Amanda Graves Alexandria. Are y'all from Louisiana?
You don't have to wait in line at cafe du monde and no beignets are as good except at cafe du monde I'm a local
+Jack lewy THE BEST this was a very unusual day... the line in the video was for table service but there was a line even longer on the other side for take out. I have never seen it like that before! And you're right, the ones we had weren't as good.
the table service is seat yourself as well you will never see a local in that line they trick you to get the waiters/tresses but you can walk in and sit and you will be served
