I live close to New Orleans and go there a lot and I feel I should tell you that as far as I know, there is NO place that you can stay and then leave for a week and leave your auto unless the CASINO doesn't know. Maybe that would be your best bet. Get a room at the only casino they have. I have stayed there and it isn't bad. Don't get the cheapest room. Get it for just the night before the cruise and maybe the night your cruise returns??? Either way, they have parking. Parking use to be FREE at the casino but I have not been there is a long time so I do not know if it's still free.

 

Other than the casino, to my knowledge there is NO FREE PARKING other than maybe a hospital. Even the airport is pay to park.

 

Did you post this on the roll call as well????????

Any ideas on best place to stay and leave our car in New Orleans for the VOS?

Thanks so much in advance!

 

try the Dury inn and suites, They did a park and cruise in 2009 when we stayed there. Good rates. Nice hotel

We have a reservation at the Holiday Inn New Orleans Downtown Superdome for a park and cruise. One night at the hotel and 8 nights parking with shuttle to the port (but need taxi back to pick up car.)

Our cost was $171 including tax for December 9.

Sound great-I'll check them out! Have a great time-hope the VOS is still a great ship!

We were on the Triumph in Dec. 2009. We stayed at the New Orleans Convention Center Hotel and they had stay and park. We took the shuttle to the port, but had to take taxi back to hotel. I was about $180.00. It was nice. This year we are on the VOS on Dec 17 and decided to park at terminal because of mobility issue with one of our group. We are staying about an hour outside of NO. Rate is less that 75.00 at a Country Inn and Suites.

I'm looking for next year when Navigator is the ship.

 

From the research I've done, some of these prices seem high. Many people (judging from the Gulf Departures board) are getting prices from $99 to 139).

 

Also, I don't think Drury is having the free parking anymore.:(

Try the Hilton Riverside. They had a cruise parking stay in the past, not sure if it's still available. I don't think Drury does the park/cruise anymore. I wouldn't try Harah's. Even if you gamble there you have to pay unless you get validated for gambling a certain amount of time.

I'm telling you folks you needs to check with Harrah's of New Orelans. I think you can just LEAVE your auto there and it will be safe.

You can get a taxi from Harrah's and back.

 

 

I have Total Rewards Card with Harrah's and even with that... rate for one night (Dec 2) at casino was over $500! Ouch. They NEVER seem to have any deals at this casino.

Cruise package last June at Holiday Inn Superdome was $129+ tax ( I think) and parking for that night and for the cruise was free. Shuttle to the pier was free, but the cab ride back wasn't; although, it wasn't too bad either. $14 for two of us?:confused:

 

Have a great trip.

We will be in NO April for a 7 day cruise and we're planning on parking at the Fulton Parking , I've seen good reviews for this. The price is 12$ a day verses 16$ at terminal and they will take you to your hotel or the port. We also booked a room at the Hilton through Hotwire for 94$ and that includes tax.....

We are cruising out of New Orleans in December, and we would like to park at a hotel rather than the pier.

The two I have found are the Holiday Inn Superdome & the Maison St. Charles. Would y'all care to weigh in? on rates, amenities, the hotels themselves?

 

thanks
