What parking lot in new Orleans

[cruisinmeme]

I have been out of new Orleans probably 8x, with ccl, I know hoe to park in the Erato garage. Been on ncl 2x out of new Orleans , parked at Fulton garage.

So my question is getting to the whale lot. Many times the lines are long with people going into Erato garage, or cars dropping off or picking up at Erato . Is there a way around all this to get to Julia st. Drop off and parking in whale lot? Or do you just wait in line and go on to Julia

Also I know there is a huge garage with a whale on it. So is the whale lot in that garage or is in a lot next to it. Is it a long walk to the check in once you park in the whale lot.

Thanks in advance

There are other ways to get to the whale lot. If you exit like you are going to hit Henderson to get to PONO drive, but turn left at the bottom of the ramp rather than right you will go in front of the convention center. The main entrance to the whale lot is just past the convention center on the right.

You can also get on PONO drive in front of the Hilton at the foot of Poydras.

We just got back from the 1st cruise out of NOLA on the Jewel and they had the access in front of the Hilton blocked. We ended up going through the whole transit by Erato and then to Julia St & it was just creeping along. Would have been so much easier to get into the lot &take our luggage on to the terminal ourselves. Hopefully next time we will find an easier way.
