re: Cruise out of New Orleans.. Recommendations for Hotel for Parking

I was concerned about parking in New Orleans for a week when we cruised from there too, but was pleasantly surpirsed to find that they have a dedicated parking garage just for cruisers on the back side of the convention center. It worked out great.

shite it'd probably be cheaper to stay in Metairie and take a cab to the terminal. They rape you with parking.

I have seen some hotels from Metairie offering shuttle service and a parking package for about 200 for a week, that includes one night stay.

Seems like the parking garage near the port is $18 bucks a day

Walt, you having a good time yet,

Looks like Walts sailing down the river.

anyone that allows for free cruise parking, I would go to the website Cruise critic, and look under port of call - New Orleans. People here are against cruises, yet see trips to the redneck riviera as the ideal vacation. I would take most cruise advice from here with a grain of salt. It's scary how many posters have never left the south.

Get an uber instead of paying for parking

Just park in the garage at the terminal. Even if its $100 it will be easier and less stressful than holding and carrying a weeks luggage in and out of shuttles.

Parking at the terminal isn't a bad idea, but you can drop your bags and passengers at the terminal and have the shuttle just take the driver back after parking.
