Carnival Liberty is a year-round Carnival ship at Port of New Orleans. Carnival sails year-round from the Erato Street terminal aboard Carnival Valor and Carnival Liberty on 4- to 7-night western Caribbean cruises. Most Carnival Liberty guests reach New Orleans by car, driving in from Metairie, Kenner, Covington and Slidell and across the region, which is exactly why reserved parking with a shuttle is in demand here.
Carnival Liberty typically departs from Erato Street Cruise Terminal at Port of New Orleans, Erato Street and Julia Street cruise terminals along the Mississippi riverfront downtown. Assignments shift by season and sailing, so confirm the terminal on your boarding pass. Knowing it ahead of time lets you plan the drive and the drop-off before you leave home.
On-site parking at Port of New Orleans runs 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, while 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 sailing is billed as 8 parking days. On a full Carnival Liberty embarkation day the closest spaces go first, so a guaranteed reserved spot is worth locking in.
