First time on an RCL ship - though we did cruise on RCL-owned Celebrity in 2005 to Hawaii. In between, we sailed on Princess 3 times (Mexico 2x, Hawaii).
BOSTON: We live in California, so the wife and I flew into Boston a few days early (Thurs). Stayed at the Marriott on Long Wharf, with dinner at nearby Legal Seafoods that night. We booked the Boston Duck Tour for Friday morning, retracing our steps on foot for the afternoon. Dinner right across the street at Ned Devine’s in Quincy Market. Hooked up with our grandson (briefly in town, and headed for RI via Amtrak) on Saturday. Dinner at Monica’s in North End, a 10-minute walk from our Hotel.
EMBARKATION: Cabbed it to the cruise terminal on Sunday for the 11:30 boarding. Seemed early to us, and it was. Staterooms not available yet. So, joined the other cruisers looking for space to eat lunch in the Windjammer.
