Hotel in New Orleans??

[MS Susan]

Looking for a hotel in New Orleans that does not charge for parking and has free shuttle to cruise ship. If anyone can help I would be greatful. Most places I have found charge you to park at the hotel.

Susan - Unfortunately, most hotels charge for parking. Parking is at a premium in N.O., especially in the French Quarter. Also, very few hotels offer shuttles to the port.

 

If you go to http://www.neworleansonline.com, you can check out a lot of the hotels, and in their site info it will say whether they have complimentary parking or not; however, it will likely be for the night(s) of your stay at the hotel only, not during your cruise.

 

At various times, the Hilton Riverside DOES have a parking special for cruise passengers. The best deal I've seen there is $99 per night and you pay for the first night's parking, but they don't charge for parking for the duration of your cruise. You might check them out, as it seems this 'deal' is offered several times during the year. This hotel is located near the port. Call and ask about their 'stay-park-cruise' special.

 

Good luck.:)

Thanks Cotton,

I will give them a try. I think you are right about all hotels charging for parking. at least that is what I have found so far.

Excellent hotel. My favorite in Nola but you must call hotel directly & see if it is still offered. It does not come up on Hilton's website. Close to pier, Harrah's casino, streetcar line, Riverwalk Mall & a short walk to French Quarter.

Clackey,

Thank you so much. I booked with Holiday Inn Select Convention Center and got 7 days free parking plus complimentary shuttle to cruise terminal. Again, thank you. I will have a few shrimp for you.:) :) :) :)

I called the Hilton Riverside directly and asked for a park and cruise price for one night, arriving on September 10th. She quoted $ 289 a night and told me they may have the $99 special depending on availability.

Well, that's good to put into the old memory bank!:) Assuming it's a good rate...may I ask how much per night? Are you staying there pre- and post-cruise? Glad you found a deal. Now you can concentrate your thoughts on the cruise! Bon Voyage.

Susan,

You are sailing with us and we are also booked at the Holiday Inn Convention center for our pre stay:)

Hey cotton,

 

 

It was $129 plus tax for 1 night with a king size bed, non-smoking. You just have to show proof that you will be on the cruise. Phone number to hotel 1-888-524-1881.

 

Txstacey,

That will be great:) . Maybe we can meet up before we get on board. Is all of your party staying there? I thought I saw that there was going to be quite a few in your group. Are you the one that suggested that we wear hawaiian leis so we can find all our cruise mates? That is a good idea. :cool:

 

We are leaving for cancun in the morning for a week so I will catch up when I get back.

Susan, I think you got the deal of the year! That's a great rate with parking for a week. You "done goooood", girl!:)

Susan[/quote]Hola again.

 

Clackey here with some suggestions about the lei thing. Sure, leis are ok for a south pacific voyage, but this is the Carribean and what is the Carribean most noted for? Pirates!!! Thats right , baby, pillaging, "always take hostages," PIRATES. I know, you could wear a puffy shirt like Seinfeld, or maybe wear a plastic parrot on your shoulder like Peter Sellers in one of the Pink Panther episodes. I got it, wear an eye patch and a peg leg. That should make it easy to recognize each other.

 

I sure wish that I could go with you. I sure love to "Put on the dog".:D

 

Have a great trip and eat a shrimp for me.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will see what everyone thinks of it.
