Ecstasy or Fantasy ?

[sss1]

Hello. I am booking/planning a cruise for ~30-40 people and we have the option of travelling out of Galveston on the Ecstasy or out of New Orleans on the Fantasy for about the same price. Since a motorcoach to and from has proven to probably be out of our price range, does anyone have any advice about the difference in ports? If we are all going to be driving down there in SUVs, etc. then I would like the cleanest, safest and easiest-to-manuever port. I have been to Galveston and I'm leaning toward the Ecstasy....because the online reviews are great. I can't seem to get any reviews on the New Orleans/Fantasy trip and I don't have a clue what the parking, etc. is like there. Any suggestions from you pros would be greatly appreciated... Thanks in advance!

The cruises in New Orleans just started again in October. From what I understand the new parking garage is very easy to use. I will be sailing out of there again in two weeks.

We are sailing next week on Fantasy. We have drove to both ports with no problems at either. Will let you know how New Orleans goes this time when we get home.
