Thank you for the input and we agree that we need to find new itinerary options from New Orleans.  In this situation, we combined the scheduled 3 day cruise-to-nowhere with a scheduled 5 day cruise.  We wanted to offer an 8 day itinerary that would be attractive to offer to all the guests that were previously booked on the 5 day which was visiting only Mexican ports.  The 5 day guests appreciated this opportunity and we were able to “save” their planned vacation.  There are always trade offs in these decisions, but we really wanted to what was best for guests that had already booked their 5 day cruise.
