I heard the Captain and CD were going/or are on break - who was the Captain and the CD?

sorry about the car- we are flying and plan to be at dock before noon- sounds like you had fun even though plans and weather didn't cooperate- we leave Sunday -hopefully all will be calm out in the ocean!!!

The CD was Todd and the Captain was some Italian guy who looked if he was type casted in a movie.

bummer on that car...I feel for you...what a way to end a trip....oh well....there is always next time....do you have another booked? :)

I've sailed since the 70's on about seven different cruise line and really had a good time aboard the Conquest. I've been to all the ports so I like the shipboard experience,but that's my thing

Sorry about the car. We parked at the Holiday Inn and had no problems. We sat right next to you at dinner. Were you at a table for 2. We were at a table for 2, 578!

So sorry to hear about your car. We are leaving out of New Orleans in November and that is my biggest fear. Glad you had a great time.

Skip, was that the Maison St. Charles? We are booked there in Sept......Now I'm worried. We just bought a Tahoe and my BF tells me that that is the most popularly stolen vehicle.....great....

Yes it the sameTodd and he didn't say anything about leaving before dry dock.

No about the Hotel. I stayed at The St Charles Inn 3636 St Charles Ave and their parking lor is around the corner shared with the hospital-Allright Parking. Save me the 12 bucks parking fee per day and cost me around $750.00 for the week. Good deal HuH

I'm glad to hear Todd is still there and since he didn't say anything about going I will assume he will be there next week. If not I hear the rest of the group is pretty good also.

We stayed at Holiday Inn-Superdome and parked in their covered garage for $5 a night, no problems with car. The captain is Massimo Marino, which if anyone watches Bold and the Beautiful ,is almost identical in name to a main character!

I knew I heard thar Captain's name before! Next year I'll be staying elsewhere, but Ill bing the truck again and not the wife new ride.

Sorry to hear about your car, but glad you had a good time. :)
