Fa310tx Posted August 4, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Leaving on Carnival cruise August 10th. Was planning on Quality Inn for $135 that includes parking and shuttle service. Found Fulton parking from airportparkingreservations.com for ~$50 and realized that I could probably stay outside the city (even a hour away) for a good price. I'm driving from Missouri. Are there any advantages/disadvantages that would be worth noting? We'll probably be pulling into New Orleans close to midnight. Of course, from a cost standpoint, we could just sleep in the car along the way and just pay for parking. JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanna-N-KY Posted August 5, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Ramada Metairie! We just stayed last weekend and left our truck all week. Very clean, friendly staff, nice breakfast; very reasonably priced. Free parking during cruise. They take you to the port and you will have no problem getting taxi back to hotel afterward. Highly recommend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRP2012TX Posted August 6, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 6, 2013 How much was the taxi back to hotel? Did they offer shuttle service on Saturday night to French quarter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanna-N-KY Posted August 7, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I don't know about the shuttle from FQ but it was $40 (5 people) for taxi back to hotel after cruise . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fa310tx Posted August 23, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted August 23, 2013 FYI... We ended up pricelining Crowne Plaza in Kenner for $50 (3 or 3 1/2 star, I forget). It was a very nice room, although the hallways and elevators are very convoluted. Given that it was a 3 star +, there was no free wifi or breakfast. We stayed at Fulton and actually ended up getting charged for a day less than previously expected. Apparently, a "day" is determined by check-in and check-out times. I think we checked in at 1:00 PM and checked out at 11:00 AM (something like that). When I first looked at it, the times I put in made it an extra day. It ended up being about $50 less than a stay-and-park deal. JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRP2012TX Posted August 25, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 25, 2013 We stayed at quality inn in greta. They offered a shuttle to and from cruise port and had 7 days of free parking for 150. It wasn't a fancy hotel or anything but it did the job for the right price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
