Another New Orleans park and cruise question

[papadon2000]

Greetings all. Looking forward to my first NCL cruise. And my first solo cruise!
This site is rather difficult to search, but does anyone know any decent/safe park and cruise places? Fulton garage charges $15/day during the time I'm cruising, so that makes it $122 for the week. If I can spend about that for a hotel and park there, that'd make it easier (otherwise I'd be driving Saturday night through Sunday to get to NO).
Travelodge by Wyndham in Harvey offers a snooze n cruise package for $120, which also apparently includes transportation to/from the port, so that might be a good way to go if I end up staying in NOLA overnight before the cruise...

As far as other parking, has anyone had any luck with the Lot on Baronne St.? It's $58 for the week, and less than a mile from the port. It's not necessarily a secure lot, however, as I understand Fulton would be.

I just posted a thread on this on the New Orleans board.

We've always stayed at the Metairie Holiday Inn and used their park and cruise option. You get a couple of free drinks as well as parking and shuttle.

They don't do a very good job of advertising it. I can't find anything about it on their website.

I don't think they have it anymore. You can find it by googling for it but when you click to book it...it takes you to an "offers" page that doesn't have a park n cruise option.

I called the reservations number and they had it.  Free breakfast for 2 and kids under 12 two free cocktails and parking for 10 days for 144/night.  Only thing is you have to find a way to and from the port.  I think its 7 miles away.  Not terrible

Good to know. They need to put it on their website. I haven’t called to book a hotel in 15 years. So that’s $5 less than country inn and suites. Don’t think country inn and suites has the cocktails but it has parking, breakfast and a ride to the port ( not back though). Looks like a $20 lyft/Uber back. $20 uber/lyft each way on the holiday inn.
