Night-Before Score
The verdict

Sixteenth, level on points with the Ramada. Breakfast is free, and Wyndham lists Stay & Go packages for extended parking.

That's as much as the page says. No price, no airport shuttle listed, and nothing about the port.

It loses the tie because the Ramada's parking is free while you stay and this one's isn't.

Call and ask whether Stay & Go covers a cruise before you count on it.

Book it if

  • Drivers who'll call about extended parking
  • Pet owners
  • Anyone who wants a free breakfast by the airport

Look elsewhere if

  • You want an airport shuttle you can see in writing.
  • You want to be near the ship.

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.

FAQ

La Quinta Airport FAQ

Does La Quinta Airport have a cruise shuttle?

Not that it publishes. Wyndham lists no port shuttle.

Does La Quinta Airport have an airport shuttle?

Not that it publishes. Wyndham doesn't mention an airport shuttle.

Can I park at La Quinta Airport while I cruise?

Yes, but the price isn't published. Wyndham lists "Stay & Go Packages for extended parking" here, with no price and no cruise wording. Ask whether one covers your nights at sea.

How far is La Quinta Airport from the New Orleans cruise terminals?

Wyndham gives no distance to the port or the airport. It sits in our Kenner & the airport band.

Can I check in early or check out late on cruise days?

Check-in is not stated and check-out not stated. The hotel doesn't publish early or late terms, so ask when you book, not on the day.

Will the hotel hold my bags?

The hotel doesn't say. Most hotels will hold bags between check-out and a late shuttle, but that's a call to make, not an assumption.

Does the port shuttle come back for me after the cruise?

There's no hotel shuttle to the port. The city's flat taxi fare from downtown to MSY is $36 for one or two people.

What's the breakfast timing on sail morning?

Free Bright Side Breakfast. Your terminal check-in window is in your cruise documents, and the port asks you not to arrive before it.

Can I park an oversized vehicle or charge an EV?

EV charging: not stated. Clearance and oversized parking aren't published. Both of the port's garages cap vehicles at 22 feet. Clearance is 6'6" at 100 Poydras and 7'6" on Erato Street's upper floors, with limited 8'4" space on its third; anything bigger goes through the port's parking contact.
