Answers to the most common New Orleans cruise parking questions. Portside is expanding here, so join the waitlist for a reserved spot near the terminal.

On-site port parking is about $26 to $30 a day by cruise length at the Erato Street garage (Carnival) and the 100 Poydras garage for Julia Street (Norwegian and Royal Caribbean), plus $1 a day to reserve. Private off-site lots run about $15 to $20 a day before taxes and fees. Port NOLA charges per cruise day, so a 7-day cruise is about $180, a 5-day about $135 and a 4-day about $120, so a 7-night cruise is 8 parking days.
Port of New Orleans is served by Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian and Disney Cruise Line. See each line's parking page from the New Orleans port overview.
