I took the train to NO from Atlanta a month before Katrina. I enjoyed the trip (which from Atlanta is about a approx a 7am to 7pm trip). Definately get a room on the train, as the cost is surprisingly little more than the included meals would be if you don't get the room. The train ride is interesting and the small rooms are just that. On some trains they don't have in room facilities. But the train is not fancy. It is finished much like your average airline coach cabin. Now imagine that for more than 12 hours.
I have heard that the French Quarter is doing pretty well. But if the time share is not actually in the French Quarter, then I would have second thoughts. The Quarter is old and loud and dirty. It had a distinct odor when I was there in July that reminded me of the trash cans in a dish washing station at a place I worked when I was younger. It may not be as bad in the colder months. Still, I had a good time and would go again. It just may not be what you want for a honeymoon.
