Sargent_Schultz Posted February 15, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2013 We prefer to park at the port - it is too convenient and directly on top of the cruise terminal. I just parked there for the Feb 4 Carnival Elation cruise. $16/day or $80 for the cruise. You pay (credit cards ok), drive up the ramp into the garage, porters take the luggage from your vehicle and then you park. Instead of a shuttle bus or a taxi, you take an elevator to check-in.

nighttrain66 Posted February 15, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted February 15, 2013 sounds easy enough, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvonne Posted February 15, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Another vote for parking right at the port. Very easy and convenient. $112 for 7-night cruise. We always prefer to park at any port, if possible. That way we're not at the mercy of shuttles to get us to the ship and back to wherever our car is parked. Our last cruise we did self-assist to get off the ship, we were off by 7:15 a.m. and walking to our car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin'Doc Posted February 15, 2013 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I'm always a fan of parking at the port. I don't like loading and unloading my luggage, waiting on taxis or shuttles, etc. In NOLA, you just pull up, drop your luggage, park, check in. Easy in and easy out.

steeler72901 Posted February 20, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Check out http://www.neworleansparking.com. Saved about 40 percent off terminal parking. Will use first time in April for Conquest cruise. One block from terminal. Drop off party and luggage, park and then ride shuttle back to terminal. Worth $50 savings to me.

It is a multi-story, covered parking deck and costs $12 per night for cruise parking. They provide free shuttle service to the port and free return shuttle service to the parking facility when the ship returns. Has worked well for us on each of our three Nola cruises.

I think we are going to do the samething you did. We have 3 cars and 11 people in our party. I was wanting to also know how hard was it to get into the terminal to drop off and is it possible to just park and all of us use the shuttle? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you If your going to use Fulton, you need to drop off your passengers and then go park. Each driver can then take the shuttle. I've found it not as convenient as you sometimes wait for the shuttle to fill up on both ends. Last time we were already on the road home while our friends were still at the dock waiting for a full shuttle. Much easier for us to use the terminal parking or Machu Picchu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvsullivan Posted May 15, 2013 #13 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Doesn't Machu Picchu require you to leave your car keys with them? Sometimes, but it's never an issue. Do you have a problem with it? If so, tell Angel and maybe he can park you somewhere that he doesn't need the keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
