Port of New Orleans parking

I will be taking a 7 day cruise leaving from Port of New Orleans in Nov.
2011. I will be driving to New Orleans a day in advance of the cruise.
A large crowd will be attending a football game at the Superdome,
therefore, AAA booked me a Holiday Inn in Gretna. They offer free
parking at the hotel but no shuttle service. Is it better to use the
ports parking garage, the hotels or a private lot that provides shuttle
service to the port?

First of all I would confirm that free parking is longer than the stay.
From (admittedly limited) personal experience, if the do the park and
cruise bit they have shuttles available.

Kurt: I called the Holiday Inn and they confirmed free parking during
the entire cruise. However, I suspect hotel parking is an open lot with
limited security.

I looked on their website before weighing in and they just said lighted
(and no mention of park and cruise thus the concern-grin). I guess you
need to decide which is cheaper taking a taxi from there to go the port
and back or parking at the port itself.

Not all places. My experience is with Galveston and there are "budget"
motels that will allow you to leave your car for the week, but you have
to call a cab to get you to the port.
