No, that's way different. That really showed how different they are. The New Orleans accent is not that broken, It's more Caribbean, but less patois. The words in the New Orleans accent are usually pronounced properly, but rearranged or the sentence is condensed vs. being chopped. In the first video they appeared more similar, but I could tell the difference because I know my own accent and anything different will stand out.
To be honest, I'd have to say that the NOLA accent sounds like a caribbean/northeastern U.S. hybrid. I'm sure the videos don't give the best example of either though.

The Gullah lady's is much thicker than you'd typically hear, though. I just wanted you to hear the accent in something close to its purest form. I tried to find just a casual conversation on YouTube of a person speaking with the accent in its most "common" form, but I couldn't. If you were to hear it, I think it would sound more similar to what you're used to hearing.
what happen on Islands of South Carolina,Georgia and florida coast there were run away slaves called Moroons they speak Gullah similar to creole. creole people are often mixed africans, french and spanish speaking English
I didnt see anything in the OP about being coastal, just being jewels of the south thats why i thought id ask even though those places are a bit more southern and charming.

But their coastal locations as historic cities constitutes a big reason as to why they are considered jewels. It is what is largely responsible for their history, culture, cuisine, etc.
