Smile Was Very Interesting

Just got back from crusing on the Voyager. Printed this out and sat on my balcony and used it as a guide as to what I was looking at when we started down the river. This was really very helpful and interesting - thanks for posting this. I had about 50-60 minutes of daylight to enjoy before it got too dark to see.

I'm getting ready to book my balcony and would just like to clarify that I should be on the port side to see most of this stuff? It seems to me I should be on starboard side can somebody help me out?

Done this 4 or 5 times and we are usually up on deck when we cruise down the river but it seems as though most of the things we saw were on the port side. However a couple of times on the starboard side levee they did some awesome fireworks as we cruised by!

Just seeing this. Great list. Thank you.

I'm assuming our aft cabin will work for viewing? I'm assuming we'd be able to see port, starboard and aft directions from back there?

Cruise ships cannot go underneath the Crescent City Connection. They stand way too high, They turn around right off the port terminal.
