Hundreds of fabulous dance bands playing on over a dozen different stages from 11:00am to 10:30pm over 4 days.  The official 2024 Schedule can be found at https://frenchquarterfest.org/

Each morning we will enjoy a group dance class and delicious breakfast of local cuisine before heading into the Quarter for the Festival.  We also have a walking tour and other social activities planned for you over the course of the the weekend. Fun stuff!

Spend 5 nights/6 days onboard the Carnival Valor as we explore the beautiful ports of the Western Caribbean and dance our way across the sea and over the waves.

The cruise departs from New Orleans and includes 2 days at sea (fabulous for dancing!), plus full-day stops in Cozumel and the Yucatan in Mexico.. In addition to our own dance classes and parties while onboard, we have organized a special private group excursion for us in the Yucatan!

Stops include:

PROGRESO, YUCATAN, MEXICO: Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula offers an unbeatable combination of breathtaking beaches and fascinating history. Progreso is located on Mexico’s Emerald Coast alongside the Gulf of Mexico, where hot pink flamingos gather by the hundreds and sun-bleached Maya pyramids rise from the jungle. Inland from Progreso’s golden beaches are the spectacular Maya ruins of Uxmal, Xcambó and Dzibilchaltún, and the very colorful & historic colonial city of Mérida, the region’s best shopping stop for handmade crafts. Included with your trip is a private tour of Progreso especially designed for our group!

COZUMEL, MEXICO: Cozumel offers a huge variety of things to do, see, taste and explore. The island just happens to be perched atop a coral reef, which promises hours of snorkeling or scuba diving fun. The ship docks at the island’s heart — just minutes from San Miguel’s seafront shops and the white sand beach at Chankanaab National Park. There, you can drift among star corals and sea fans on a Cozumel diving excursion or simply kick back on the beach beneath your own palm palapa as the turquoise waves roll in. With non-stop zip line action, ancient discoveries at the nearby Mayan ruins, or time spent with your toes in the sand, a cruise to Cozumel may just top your best vacations list… before you even get home.

*PLUS* Experience Two Full Days at Sea! It’s the perfect way to relax after 4 days of dancing it up in the French Quarter with our first day at sea on Day 1, and our last day at sea on Day 5 in order to rest before we get home. For those with a little more energy to spare, the ship is also a veritable playground of activity, entertainment, culinary delights, and has much to do and explore :)
