Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Central America And The Mardi Gras Part 6

Central America And The Mardi Gras With Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Part 4
We spent most of the day sailing along the Mississippi River, which was delightful. When I visited New Orleans last year, our transit of the Mississippi was at night for arrival and departure, but this time we got to experience it in daylight. Granted, there’s not a lot to see until you start getting closer…
