Does anyone have any tips for parking a car while on a cruise, you can stay in a hotel for what they want to park a car.

Here's a thought ! I have a diamond card and park for free at a Caesars parking lot
take a taxi to Atlantic city airport make my flight take a taxi back to CZRS go Home parking only cost me taxi fare in this case cost effect is on good if I park for more then 4 days as taxi is $15 one way
round trip $30
ACY parking $12 a day

I love New Orleans and spent about 18 years working there... I lived for a time in the French Quarter and had a blast

Of all the things New Orleans offers, adequate safe parking is not on the top of the list.......
if you live not to far away , the limo may be your best out....
........They can drive to the terminal and help schlep your luggage both ways

Parking in The Crescent City ( Big Easy) can be challenging and expensive..........with little assurance your vehicle will be sitting in the pristine condition in the spot you left it.........Have you tried a telephone call to the cruse ship office or your travel agent ? Perhaps there is preferred / secure parking for cruise ship passengers.......

Wish I could offer a more supportive answer

New Orleans parking has always been scarce. There are some private lots within a couple of blocks of the port where you can park for about half of the price of port parking. You should be able to Google those, but I'd talk to my cruise ship company and see if they recommend some place in particular in NOLA.

And last time I checked, finding a parking was not a betting strategy. Just saying.

Angiers Point neighborhood across the river. Ride the free ferry to ferry dock that lets off at Harrah. You would be parking in a decent residential neighborhood.

I'll take the bet that his car is on concrete blocks and the battery missing when he returns.

He is correct, though, for what it's worth. Should have been in the VIP section, which is where off-topic and random "stuff" should be discussed. In any case, hope we got you some useful information.
