Allow yourself to gain a "Golden Travel Experience", with kicking off a weekend cruise after attending New Orleans’ Mardi Gras season a few days before embarking aboard the “Valor” for Mexico, with a stop in Cozumel. Savor the festivities of New Orleans, then let it all melt into beach air and sunshine—kicking back with a drink in hand by the sea or lounging poolside as the celebration follows you south.
