Lodging in New Orleans

[rosecitycruisers]

Does anyone know of any hotels/motels in New Orleans area that will allow you leave your car at no expense and provide a shuttle service to the ship.

Wow that could be a tough one as many of the hotels in NOLA charge you to park while you stay there. I also found this problem in Norfolk.

Are you in luck?? I just booked 2 rooms at the Maison St. Charles in the Garden District. They have a "Bon Voyage" special. A great rate, 2 complimentary drinks in the lounge, $5/night parking for your vehicle while on the cruise (as cheap as it gets!!), and limo transport to the cruise terminal. The only downside is that you have to catch a cab back to the hotel to retrieve your vehicle. Hope this helps. Go directly to the hotel website www.maisonstcharles.com (http://www.maisonstcharles.com) and call the number on the page. I got this info off of the great folks here at cruisecritic!! Enjoy!!

The New Orleans Hilton Riverside has a Hilton Cruisin package that is $99.00 and the parking is free for 7 days. It is within walking distance of the pier.

You will have to call them at 800-445-8667 to get this. Can't do it online.

We also have 2 rooms booked in the Maison St. Charles Hotel for 9/17 and 9/18... Does anyone have any reviews of this hotel? I know it is older, but we enjoy the personality of the older hotels.

Trip Advisor has reviews written by "normal" people. I got the info on the hotel from some board members who had stayed there pre-cruise. They were very pleased with their stay. Have fun.

Just an FYI.....We plan to head to New Orleans on Friday (we're driving) and stay an extra day in a city I love! Called the Hilton to see about the Hilton Cruising deal, and they absolutely will not let anyone book back to back nights for the cruisin deal. You can book one before and one after, but won't let you book Friday and Saturday even with Friday at their "normal" rate. It really confused me AND the reservation specialist. The manager at the desk was even slightly put off by my request! I guess the Maison St Charles will get my $$$$$

I would recommend the older hotels any day over the newer fancy highrises. N.O. is such an historical city, and the older hotels show the more southern traditional w/the French influence thrown in. I always recommend the older hotels to friends coming into the city, especially the ones with the brick courtyards and gaslights...things you just don't find in the "new" era buildings.

footballmom - sorry about that. I am only staying one night before the cruise so was unaware that you could only stay one night. I also love NO and am looking forward to it ALMOST as much as my first cruise.

No need to be sorry.........just thought I'd check it out. I also love NO. That's why we're taking one extra day. Wish we could take one extra WEEK. It's Friday!!!!!!!!!

I'll be sailing on the Conquest in 99 days and will be staying at the Chateau Sonesta Hotel. I don't know about the parking but the hotel looks lovely from the website. Anyone stay there before?

We stayed at the Maison St,Charles in March and did the Bon Voyage Special..we loved the Hotel..the cable car is right out the front door of the hotel...and they do take you to the cruise terminal in a Limo...but its $7.00 per person to catch a cab back to the hotel....we would stay there any time we cruise out of New Orleans...enjoy your cruise...

My husband and I are from New Orleans, and we spent our anniversay there this year, and are already booked for next year. I am sure you will like it. Excellent service. Great seafood rest. just across the side street. Valet parking. Hope you enjoy.

We have res. at the Hilton Riverside and they do not offer a shuttle to the pier. However, the hotel is quite close to the pier but I don't know how much luggage you have. I considered dropping the family and luggage off at the pier, going back and parking, then walking over myself. Not a very long walk.
