Royal Caribbean cruises from New Orleans

After a great first year cruising from New Orleans, the Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Seas will be back in November 2012 to once again sail round trip from New Orleans to the Western Caribbean. Port stops include George Town, Grand Cayman, Falmouth, Jamaica and Cozumel, Mexico. This is great news for Royal Caribbean fans who have avoided cruising from New Orleans in the past. The Navigator combines a great ship and a fantastic city creating a wonderful vacation.

About the Navigator
If it weren't for some of the new mega ships like the Oasis, the Navigator of the Seas might be considered one of the best ships at sea. In fact she holds her ground pretty good against the newest ships. The Navigator sports 15 decks, 16 bars and 10 pools and whirlpools and offers fun for the whole family. The ship also offers a sports court, rock wall, inline skating course and even a skating rink at sea. The highlight however is a beautiful adult solarium retreat with pool and two large whirlpools. You'll never want to leave.

About the Ports of Call
Most cruises from New Orleans travel in the Western Caribbean due to the location of the city in the heart of the Gulf of Mexico but thats ok because the Western Caribbean has some of the best stops in the Caribbean. Cozumel offers a one of a kind sting ray experience and Cozumel offers world class snorkeling. Not to be outdone, Jamaica is famous for its Dunn River Falls and is a must visit for all cruisers.

On the Cheap
The best part of the Royal Caribbean cruises from New Orleans might just be the price. You can get a balcony cabin on the navigator for just under $800 which is a steal considering that is a 7 night cruise. With rates that low you can spend an extra few days enjoying the attractions in New Orleans.
