We flew to Boston the night before our cruise and stayed at the Embassy Suites Hotel at the airport, which was very nice.

The embarkation went very smoothly and we were on board before noon enjoying lunch on the Lido deck. We knew the ship was old but I still think it looked lovely and have no complaints.
