This is what they do every time in New Orleans. They stick a half ragged out ship in New Orleans and make a big deal about how it is a huge improvement over what was there before. They sail it for three or four years until it is very rundown, then pull it out, put it in dry dock and get it looking nice and move it to another, apparently more important, port. Then they stick another faded ship into New Orleans and sail it until it is groady, and do it all again. How many times have we seen this? Passengers in New Orleans do not cause this. It's wear and tear and ground in grime. Carnival does not appreciate the people who sail from New Orleans enough. We were thrilled with Dream, but they let it get run down too before they pulled it out, fixed it up and moved it.
