New Orleans parking during Mardi Gras

We are thinking of going on the Carnival Dream out of New Orleans on February 7 next year. Fat Tuesday is February 9. We will drive down the day of the cruise, but I'm concerned about parking for the week. Does the cruise terminal have dedicated parking? Does anyone know the cost, and whether it is higher during Mardi Gras?

$16.00 per day at the port and it is only for cruisers so no issue at all.

Parking at the cruise terminal is $18 per day, effective 9/1/15

Parking at the port is for Cruise passengers only. It is not a shared lot.

Ouch!

Long Beach CA is now $19. Just keeps going up.

My suggestion is not to leave that day. I'd stay about 45 minutes outside because traffic will be insane!

Check the Fulton Garage. Reserved Parking on the top floor is $8.00 per day

Thanks to all!

We reserved roof top parking at the Fulton garage for our Jan 31 2016 Dream cruise. $67 for reserved Sunday-Sunday parking.

Does anyone know if it would be a problem maneuvering a full size pickup in the Fulton Street garage? And if the parking spaces are sufficient in size? Thx

Might be a little tight. I do know they have a height restriction of 6' 7"...

Thanks for the reply.

My husband has an extended cab F-150. I'm not worried about the height, as it is a normal height for a pickup. My concern is tight spaces that may cause someone to damage the sides getting in & out of cars on either side of us. I would love to save the $ but don't want to do it at the expense of damage to our vehicle. My husband leans towards just paying the difference to part at the port garage due to the convenience, but the cost is twice as much as Fulton St. garage. I'm the penny pincher.:)

Not sure if the parking spots at the port would be any larger than at the Fulton garage.
