funkidd Posted August 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I will be going on the triumph tomorrow in New Orleans. I've never cruised out of that port. What is the best way to park and handle the mess of people. Any suggestions are appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebleo Posted August 10, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Cruised out of New Orleans 3 times and all were easy getting into the port terminal. (And out of as well.) Of course I've always arrived at 9:30/10, so I don't know what it's like later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert & Debra Posted August 10, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) If you park at the port it is $20 a day. We have done it twice and it was easy in and out. Edited August 10, 2017 by Robert & Debra to add that we have parked there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2lilharts Posted August 10, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The Erato parking garage is located at the top of the terminal and is $20/day. I agree that parking other places in New Orleans is pricey! We arrived about 10:15 for 10:30 check-in during Spring Break. Didn't encounter masses of people at all. If this link doesn't work, then Google Port of New Orleans and click on the tab for Cruises and follow the link to Passenger Info and then pick parking. http://www.portno.com/parking Have a great time on the Triumph! I highly recommend the Sea Day Brunch...it's worth asking directions to the Paris dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bharkins12 Posted August 10, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Call Angle with Machu Pichu. He's fabulous and much cheaper than the terminal parking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvonne Posted August 10, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I prefer not to park elsewhere and deal with shuttles, so we choose to park right at the port. Very easy to get in and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvs cruising Posted August 10, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Parking at the port is my preference, but, I was wondering how crowded the parking situation is if you have a 12:00-12:30 check-in time. Anyone had a check-in time later in the afternoon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutumbojimbo Posted August 10, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 10, 2017 We've used the Fulton Street Garage 2x and been happy. The garage is on the other side of the civic center from the port. You can park in covered or on the roof top level (which is cheaper) they shuttle you over, but it is walkable too. I have dropped my wife and luggage at the port both times and then parked. If you park on the roof, you have to go down a flight of stairs or the car ramp to get to the elevators, which can be tricky with luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E@syPe@zy Posted August 10, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Call Angle with Machu Pichu. He's fabulous and much cheaper than the terminal parking We always use Angel with Machu Picchu! Covered parking at a great price. He will transport you to the cruise terminal and pick you up within minutes when you get back from your cruise. We used him when we sailed on Super Bowl Sunday ( when the Super Bowl was in N.O.) and he navigated the throngs of cars and people like you wouldn't believe. We have used him 3 or 4 times and wouldn't do it any other way. Google Machu Picchu Tours....located on Jackson Ave. ($14 per day). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted January 6, 2018 #12 Share Posted January 6, 2018 The most economical place to park is Fulton Garage. I've used them five times. They shuttle you to and from the port. http://www.neworleansparking.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
