The verdict

Eighteenth, second of four tied on 36. It's on the same stretch of Julia Street as the Embassy Suites, with a pool, a bistro and guest laundry.

Marriott just doesn't say how far the ship is, and breakfast is extra.

Valet is $45 and "limited, not guaranteed".

Book it if the price beats the Embassy's, and walk the same few blocks.

Book it if

  • Flyers who want a Marriott near the terminals
  • Pet owners
  • Anyone who wants a last load of laundry

Look elsewhere if

  • You want breakfast included.
  • You need somewhere guaranteed to park.

The port’s own garages

$120–$350 by cruise length

The port runs two garages and charges by cruise length, not by the day: $120 for a 4-night cruise, $135 for 5, $160 for 6, $180 for 7, $200 for 8 and $350 for 14. Carnival parks in the Erato Street garage, on top of its terminal; Norwegian and Royal Caribbean at 100 Poydras, with a shuttle to Julia Street, which publishes only the 4-, 5- and 7-night rates.

Both open at 9 AM and take cards only. Reserving adds $1 a day; driving up doesn’t. The port’s FAQ still quotes $25 a day, which matches only its 8- and 14-night rates. Compare every parking option.
