Private Island Paradise

My family recently had the opportunity to sail from New Orleans, Lousiana on the Norwegian Pearl. This trip was one of many firsts for us. Our first visit to New Orleans, our first time sailing with Norwegian Cruise Line, and our first visit to Norwegian's private island, Harvest Caye. The port of New Orleans is unique in itself.
