We had a hard time seeing because you couldn’t look up into the rain. Water was spurting up out of the man hole covers on our walk back to our hotel. While we were there, the skies opened up and let loose a torrent of rain like I have never seen before. It rained on us pretty heavily on the way there. That evening after all the parades, we went to Mother’s for dinner. I have to confess I judged the people who moved the parades around, because it rained throughout the day. Plus the cold drizzle was less than optimal. We watched some of the parades in the drizzle, but honestly…it wasn’t as much fun during the day on the balcony as it was the night before just walking along the routes stopping when we wanted. Because of weather, they moved the parades to earlier and removed one from the line up. We were staying at the Blake Hotel, which is right on the parade route, and had bought access to their balcony for the parades on Saturday. We went to Maspero’s for breakfast which was OK but a bit spendy. Saturday, we got up for breakfast…but only one other of the younger set was feeling up to breakfast. We went to a few places for a few more drinks after dinner before we headed back to our hotel. ![]() We had no problem finding a place to stand and watch the parades when we wanted to. That Friday, we caught a small parade in the French Quarter during the day and quite a bit of some of the larger parades (Cleo and a few others) that night. We enjoyed beignets at Café du Monde, hurricanes at Pat Obrien, a tour of the Sazarac House, and an excellent dinner at Vyoone’s. We all wanted to sail out of New Orleans during Mardi Gras so we could experience a little partying before we got on the boat to party.Īll of us arrived in New Orleans on Friday so we could enjoy some of the city. We sailed with my niece (28) and her husband (31) and her best friend (28) and her husband (32). We are pretty loyal to NCL, but have also sailed on a few other lines. My husband (62) and I (60) cruise about 2 times a year. A very quick review of our Breakaway Cruise out of New Orleansįirst, a little about us. ![]()
