Boston. History aplenty. Welcoming. Our Back Bay pre-cruise stay at the Lenox Hotel was excellent. Good walking/shopping area in the immediate vicinity.
Cruise Port facilities were fine - our first impressions were favorable. Security and boarding took close to 30 minutes - very reasonable.
It turns out the port is close to the airport. With little Sunday morning traffic we made it to the airport for $25, including a generous tip to our 48 year Boston Taxi veteran driver.
This corner aft cabin has an extraordinary balcony! The hallway to the cabin from the Centrum is LONG. Longer than I thought it would be, but it ensured no hallway noise, and wasn't an issue for us. Might be for mobility challenged individuals.
Charming town.
Bustling, big city. Walkable. Plenty to see and do.
