Best New Orleans “Park and Cruise” Hotels

The good news is more cruise ships than ever are calling New Orleans home. The bad news is the Port of New Orleans charges $20 a day for parking which can get pricey. Luckily, we know a few hotels that offer free parking during your trip if you stay at least one night with them. Not only will you save, but you’ll get two vacations in one! This is, after all, one of world's most fascinating port cities.
