poshmom Posted March 31, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 31, 2017 So there's my question. I would especially prefer free parking. But would be wonderful if it had shuttling to port also. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angiem0217 Posted March 31, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 31, 2017 The crown plaza at the airport has free parking if you are an IHG member. We went to California for 2 weeks last year and it cost me 0 to park. They have a shuttle to the airport but I doubt they have one to the port. You could take an Uber and they can drop you off. They have security at the hotel so vehicle was safe. I stay there every time we fly out of New Orleans. Rates at hotel are normally around $100 and Uber will be about $20-30. So $130 total. Most stay and park packages are over $200. So price it out and see what rates are better. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrqoisWtrs Posted March 31, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I highly recommend the Hampton Inn Suites by the Convention Center. Its a refurbished cotten factory. My room was gorgeous and had a mini kitchen with even a dishwasher. Right across the street from the port. Looks like they have a package that includes parking. The free breakfast is outstanding. Basically a regular buffet - hot and cold food, sausages, eggs, potatoes, etc. Yummy! They also have a free shuttle to the port. http://hamptoninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/louisiana/hampton-inn-and-suites-new-orleans-convention-center-MSYLAHX/offers/100079299.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monalis Posted March 31, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 31, 2017 We stayed across the river in Grenta. You can see the ship from most of the hotels and quite a few have park and cruise deals. Sent from my XT1030 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked the Hampton a few months park on the park and cruise rate that includes parking but never saw anyone else mention it. I was getting worried that there might have been a reason for that. Glad to hear good things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

americanmama Posted April 1, 2017 #12 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I just did a test booking using the link above..the stay and park is for 'in house' only and cannot be used for cruises. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how they could even do cruise parking there, the parking was very limited for all the rooms they had as it was. I called several hotels that supposedly did cruise and park and none of them seemed to do it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdintn Posted April 2, 2017 #14 Share Posted April 2, 2017 For my cruise in October, I found it to be cheaper to park in Fulton garage and do my hotel for one night worked out cheaper than any of the packages deals I could find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poshmom Posted April 3, 2017 Author #15 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I just booked a room at Country Inn and Suites in Metairie, LA with park/cruise/shuttle package for one night in June. They said you could park there with a 7 night limit. So, thanks!! That makes life so much easier. :hearteyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that's a great deal, way cheaper than our night stay there plus parking at Machu Picchu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted April 4, 2017 #19 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Wow, that's a great deal, way cheaper than our night stay there plus parking at Machu Picchu. Of course they'll also have to add in a cab or uber back to the hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amydresh Posted April 9, 2017 #20 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Of course they'll also have to add in a cab or uber back to the hotel. Oh yeah, that is why we decided it was just as well to do a hotel and parking on our own. Uber from Metairie to French Quarter for our family of 5 was $26, so definitely not as good of a deal as I had originally thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
