TXCoastPatriot Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Where is the best parking for the RCL cruise terminal in New Orleans? Checked Park&Fly but all sold out 7 months early! Is there on-site parking? Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Just today I booked at Fulton Place (Port of New Orleans) 901 Convention Center Blvd. 504-269-7296. I’m not entirely sure if this is THE Port of NO parking or just an offsite parking location. I have never been there so I have no clue about whether it’s good, bad or indifferent. The cost is $19/day and with taxes and a service charge (no idea what that’s for) the total for 8 days is $176.79. If anyone has any info on this location, I’d love to hear it. We’re staying at the Hilton Riverside which appears to be nearby. I checked out hotels that would let you park for the duration of the cruise but none of them were places I wanted to stay so we’re splitting our parking up between hotel stay and cruise parking. Our cruise is Nov 16. TXCoastPatriot and Villageidiot 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXCoastPatriot Posted March 24 Author Report Share Posted March 24 We are sailing November 2 Brilliance 7-N I found RCL parking is at the Julia Street Cruise Terminal, parking rate is $25 per day/flat rate fee. Nothing about reservations. Another options: Parking is available at the 100 Poydras Garage, located at 100 Poydras St. New Orleans, LA. Parking rates: $25 per day without reservations and $25 per day plus $1/per day fee for reservations. I’m considering using The Parking Spot at MSY (New Orleans airport) for $12.50/day and Uber/Taxi to cruise port. It’s half the price plus transfers.

If you have a lot of luggage I suggest dropping the luggage off at the terminal prior to parking there. Getting an elevator down in the parking deck can be difficult with all the luggage..unless you can handle stairs. I either drop luggage off or drop someone in my party off with the luggage before parking. Returning isn't as much of a problem. They do have a shuttle to take you to the port if you don't want to walk it. The walking distance is further than the driving distance because of the one way streets. In a vehicle you have to drive all the way around the convention center while walking you can just walk up the street to the terminal.

I had JUST about decided to cancel and go with the terminal parking, but now I feel confident in keeping what I have ! Very helpful.

It was worth the savings to me over the terminal parking since it is so close. I even stayed at the Hampton Inn & Suites Convention Center the night before and just scheduled my Fulton parking to start that night and left my car there for the hotel stay too. They have a shuttle to the port as well which was convenient the time I stayed there. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunkelBierJay Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 I'm interested in parking options too. We are driving through Alabama and Mississippi and will spend the night in Hattiesburg the night before our February 1, '25 sailing. The only thing I really care about in NO is a nice breakfast at Cafe du Monde before boarding. The parking I found is called "Best of New Orleans" right by the terminal.

TXCoastPatriot Posted March 26 Author Report Share Posted March 26 Waytoo, Ashley Thank you both so much. I looked deeper into Fulton Place and I agree with you both. I just reserved for our November 2nd sailing. Bring on the “single prop” Brilliance. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fox Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 We have used Fulton Place also and found it suited our needs. TXCoastPatriot and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
