ian91 Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hi All Can anyone help us with ideas to fill 4 days in Boston before we join Brilliance on 18 September. We are staying in the middle of Boston city centre. We don't mind getting a taxi to see places of interest. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BigKarl Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hello ian91, Having Relatives in Plymouth and visiting Boston many times I can tell you that there are numerous places and things to see in Boston. My advice would be to simply visit sites like Trip advisor and select from the many choices of things to see and do. I could tell you the highlights of the places I enjoy and also of the very few disappointments (One) I encountered. Not knowing your likes and dislikes, health condition(ie.. Those long walking tours) could quite possibly sway your choices and you may miss out on something you might otherwise enjoy. That being said, I suggest you visit as many websites as you wish and plan out as many places/things to see and do so that you can feel that sense of accomplishment in knowing you have made your visit to Boston as complete as you can. On a finishing note, I will be leaving from Boston on Sept. 18 (The day you Board) having completed Brilliance Of The Seas Transatlantic Repositioning Cruise. Maybe you can Wave to me as you board and I depart. Best Wishes to you! :D ian91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Ok this one is easy for me... 1) Walk the Freedom trail 2) Go to the observation deck of the Prudential center 3) Take the subway to Cambridge (Visit Harvard University) and Harvard square, also Mt Auburn cemetery 4) Take the Boston Duck tour 5) Visit Quincy market and faneuil marketplace 6) Go check Boston common and Boston public garden 7) Most important, HAVE FUN ON YOUR CRUISE !!!!!

DocLC Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 We spent a few days in Boston before a New England/Canada cruise and I agree with Michel 100%. Walk the Freedom Trail; you could easily spend two days doing this depending on how long you stay at the various sites along the way. Also, you need to go to a Red Sox game if you're a baseball fan or at least take a tour of the ballpark. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only things I would add is the JFK museum, and prime rib dinner at Durgin-Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatMe Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Oh, I forgot Mike's Pastry. Who needs history when you can eat! You can walk the freedom trail to feel better about all the food. DocLC and Michel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerel Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Number 5 on the above list has some awesome food. If it were me I'd go to Fenway to watch the Red Sox loose, they also have some great tours for cheap. Even if your not into baseball it's worth doing.
