Christmas in New Orleans 2016

Plus a Seven-Night Caribbean Cruise Aboard the NCL Dawn

By Paul

In December of 2016, we decided to do something we’d never done before: we took a vacation over Christmas just the two of us. We spent four festive days in New Orleans, and, being the cruise addicts that we are, managed to squeeze in a seven-day cruise to the Caribbean as an extra Christmas treat. The pages below detail our New Orleans Christmas getaway and our seven nights aboard the fantastic NCL Dawn.
