pcbcruiser Posted February 12, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I've read good and bad about the Fulton Street Garage so I need your help. We like to spend money on other things, not parking! lol I have an older car so I'm not worried about being in a covered area. What I am worried about is the convenience of in port vs away from port. We are going Carnival - Dream next week and wanted to know what you felt about parking at the Fulton Street Garage. Is it worth saving about $50 to park at Fulton rather than parking in the covered Carnival garage? thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care about the convenience, I care about money! Fulton is 5 minutes away and they shuttle you and your bags to the port and then back to the garage. You pay for rooftop parking, but most of the time they give you covered parking. Make reservations online as if you just show up it is more expensive.

RTRMom Posted February 12, 2015 #3 Share Posted February 12, 2015 We are going next week as well and always park right at the port. I like the ease of it and always plan for the parking in our vacation budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrymeador Posted February 12, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 12, 2015 We have cruised out of New Orleans at least 4 times. Number 5 coming up. We always use the Fulton Garage. I've never had a problem and the shuttles move quickly. Great way to save some money!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieCharlotte Posted February 12, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I appreciate someone asking this question because we'll need parking next time we're at the Port of New Orleans and always try to find the right balance between cost and convenience/security. One more question -- has anyone left their car and toured around the city for the day? I'm guessing we'd pay for an extra day, but any problem picking up the car in the early evening?

I have never done that. I usually just research a parking lot by our hotel and park there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the website we used for booking our cruise parking: http://www.neworleansparking.com/lots.asp# Click on the Fulton Garage option you want (Rooftop/Covered). I prepaid last month. Be sure to print out your receipt and present it when you arrive. Let us know how it works out for you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted February 22, 2015 #9 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) I appreciate someone asking this question because we'll need parking next time we're at the Port of New Orleans and always try to find the right balance between cost and convenience/security. One more question -- has anyone left their car and toured around the city for the day? I'm guessing we'd pay for an extra day, but any problem picking up the car in the early evening? I left my truck for a day after my cruise last summer. I booked online and paid for the extra day. It seems like they don't want you to do it because they told us to leave our bags downstairs and have someone go get the car and load the bags downstairs....seemed like they wanted to get us out of the garage quickly. I ignored them and took my bags up to my truck and left it for the extra day I paid for with no problem.

maldenmusic Posted May 29, 2016 #10 Share Posted May 29, 2016 We've used Fulton for the past 8 cruises and never had any problems. Shuttle always waiting on us when we return. Easy to find. Erato parking at the NOLA terminal is going up to $20 a day starting June 1, 2016 so this is half price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librarian365 Posted June 2, 2016 #11 Share Posted June 2, 2016 The website says 'cruise only' on it - but we want to arrive Friday (two days before the cruise). Are they going to have a problem with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor_Poke Posted June 3, 2016 #12 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I wrote a bad review a few years ago about Fulton but in spite of it, I'll be parking there again in a few weeks. $140 vs $84 is enough to put up with a couple headaches. That's $50 plus to spend on the ship or in a port of call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they going to have a problem with that? I asked about staying over for a friend of mine. They do not much care for people staying late because if you don't leave they may loose a spot for a week because you stayed one day. They want you out as quick as possible for those people arriving to get on the next cruise. They have no problem with coming in early because if there is a spot then it gets used for the week. Just what the attendant told me. We use Fulton everytime we cruise out of NOLA. Edited June 4, 2016 by ekajun1957 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
