New Orleans carnival glory

[stephanieelena]

Cruising end of November 2021 out of new Orleans. 14 day cruise. Please help me find best hotel and parking. Long parking means huge fee. Help

[DCPIV]

Check out the New Orleans port forum.  Someone might have some ideas there.

 

Buy, yeah, you're going to pay handsomely for parking in New Orleans.  You might do better to fly.

Thank you. I'll check a few flights, but I live in Texas so I just figured it would be cheaper. How do I find New Orleans port forum. I tried the search section but nothing came up. I'll keep trying.

It looks like the mods have moved the thread to the proper forum. I guess there isn't a NOLA forum. 

 

I poked around a little and saw that New Orleans port parking is $10/day. That's better than I expected. You might be better off driving after all!

We use this link and park there everytime

[pinklucky61]

When I've driven to N.O. I park Fulton,  no problems there so far.   My brother pays twice the rate to park at cruise port block or so away, he has more money than I do. LOL

Have always taken shuttle due to others with me, but could easily walk it with luggage.

I just booked this for our Cruise on December 5th....Was wondering why it was only 12 per day seems very cheep. Could have sworn it was like 20 per day

IDK where in Texas but i have driven that a few times from Houston

if you are a solo it is cheaper to fly----- Airport shuttle $44 rt

2 people it is close to a wash

3 or more cheaper to drive

Fulton pkg garage is cheapest in that area most hotels $20-60 a night for parking

It is an older building, but it does the job.  If you're not worried about your car out in the weather (I park outside at home)  uncovered rooftop parking only $10 a day.

I have stayed there and can recommend it.  But, it a bit of a hike to get to the French Quarter.

I'm so excited 😊 parking booked ✔ pretty much done packing, probably touch lol. 14 days is long. No excursions planned. I'll just see what happens I guess. Fun awaits us all. Time to relax and enjoy life. See you all soon 🤩
