We just returned from a 5 day cruise on the Carnival Glory out of Boston to Canada. Just a little bit about ourselves, we are a retired couple in our early 60's and live near Cape Cod Ma. Boston was a great port to embark from since it was only 1 hour from our home. Even though we received a call not to arrive at port until 1:30 pm, we arrived at port at 10 am and after dropping of our luggage we went to the auxiliary parking area a few blocks away. We were shuttled to the terminal. We went right through the check-in area and were seated in zone 3 for boarding. At 11 am they proceeded to start boarding.
