New Orleans 2014

Plus a Seven-Night Cruise Aboard the Serenade of the Seas

By Paul

Back in December of 2014, Kathleen’s parents generously offered to take us on a fun trip to celebrate our one-year wedding anniversary. The only question for us was, where should we go? We ended up finding a fantastic price for a cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Serenade of the Seas. And, as a major bonus, the cruise was out of one of our favorite cities in the world, New Orleans!

The below pages detail our four days in New Orleans and our seven days aboard the Serenade of the Seas. Read on to discover the places we visited, the fun tours we took, and, most importantly, the amazing food we consumed in one of the world’s finest food cities.
