Port of New Orleans

[MellyTea]

I will be sailing out of New Orleans in November. Is there reservable parking near the port like Galveston Park N Cruise in Galveston?

I personally like to park at the port. It is so easy! Drive right up, pay. You stop and give porters the luggage, drive on and park. Take elevator to terminal. It is that easy. Then when you leave it is so easy just to walk off the ship to your car.

No waiting for bus etc to back to where your car is.

We like Fulton Garage. Great price if you book ahead of time.

$18/day and worth every penny to me. Very convenient. If you want to pay less Fulton is the best choice but involves shuttles.

We plan to use Fulton again next month. Used Machu picchu before but didn't like it.

Are you able to reserve parking at the port? Sounds like the pricing is comparable to others I saw online,

Nope, just show up, pay, pull up so the porters can take your bags, park and a short walk later you're checking in.

Another vote for Fultons. Parked twice there last year and had no issues. Both times was on the road by 9am after disembarking the Dawn and Dream.

We use Fulton only when going NCL.. The NCL parking area sucks.

When we go carnival we use the port parking. Very confident. Not gonna shuttle to save a few bucks then.

We have only once paid ahead for Fulton.pay as we enter.same price. Some people like the roof top to save a few dollars.

If we park at fulton can we walk to the cruise terminal? Looking at a cruise on the triumph in dec. 1st time there and 1st time on a cruise.

Yes, I think it is walking distance to the port from Fulton. I think we did that once. But they do have the free shuttles, if you don't mind waiting.

We are planning to stay an extra 2 nights at an airport hotel in New Orleans.

Hotel doesn't offer shuttle to French Quarter area. Taxis seem really high...looks like an extra charge due to airport???

 

Has anyone used Uber in such instances?

Id use the free shuttle at fulton. I parked there once and we had the hotel kinda next door which included fulton.

 

Just walking across the street on those bumpy roads that they paved with rocks I think, i broke a wheel on my suitcase and for the rest of the cruise it was a pain.

 

I seem to remember having to lug it up and down high curbs near the garage.

 

I only used it once. We usually stay at a hotel across the river, quality inn? which includes shuttle to and from the port. Friendly drivers and huge breakfast. The hotel isnt anything great but you park your car and they do the rest.

Thats why I never stay near the airport, no matter what the rate is. Get a hotel on hotwire or some place like the Garden area if you need to save a few bucks, where you will be within walking distance of french qtr.

 

Ive gone out of New Orleans about 15 times now Id guess.

We always park at fulton. It's half the price of parking at the port

I wouldn't suggest walking. The shuttles run regularly so you shouldn't have much, if any, of a wait. There is the convention center that is positioned between the port and the garage so you would have a little ways to walk to get there since you're normally unable to walk thru the convention center.

 

We've parked both at the port numerous times and at Fulton once. We have no complaints with either. Parking at the port is more convenient and the last time we cruised, we were with another couple so we split the cost of parking at the port. Quick, easy and convenient. However, when we cruise out of NOLA again by ourselves, we will probably part at Fulton since it's considerably cheaper.
