Fatty Mc Fat Fat Posted June 18, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2014 We will be sailing out of NOLA on the Elation in October and was wanting some advice on the best place to park for the week. Which is the safer/better place to park Port parking or Fulton's Garage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billymatt Posted June 18, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Love your user name. I have sailed out of NOLA a couple of times, and don't hesitate to recommend the port parking. It's incredibly convenient, covered, secured, and I can hit the road right away after the cruise is over (for a 10 hour drive). If you're incredibly price sensitive, the Fulton Garage might be a better price, but I find the port parking to be a good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryansmith18 Posted June 18, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2014 If money is a concern, Fulton has rooftop parking for $8/day. Hard to beat that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Mc Fat Fat Posted June 18, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Thanks for the info, when i think about it i guess security is my biggest concern i want my vehicle to be intact when i get back. So it sounds like the port parking is my best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's a Ship!!! Posted June 18, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Thanks for the info, when i think about it i guess security is my biggest concern i want my vehicle to be intact when i get back. So it sounds like the port parking is my best option. I was on the Dream out of NOLA last month, and the Fulton parking garage was great. The one thing I will say though, is it can be pretty scary if you have a big truck. The $8 a day is for the rooftop so you have to go all the way up, and it is a long way. My friend had to take the antenna off of his truck because it kept banging the ceiling. I thought he was going to have a heart attack before we even got on board. I was a little nervous and I wasn't even driving. That being said, it was pouring rain when we got there and we had paid for the rooftop parking but the attendant there was really nice and just said "go ahead and park one level below the roof so you can stay out of the rain." We got back and the truck was in perfect shape, so I would definitely recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdowns9 Posted June 19, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Sailed out of NOLA several times and you can not beat the Fulton Parking Garage plus they also have shuttle service to/from the pier. We also use the same garage when we go to NOLA for a day or weekend visit. Why pay high prices and you have other options. Granted it is not located in the French Quarter but you have easy access to the Riverfront Street Car on Julia Street. http://www.neworleansparking.com/parking.asp?item=FGP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
