Thinking about booking a cruise out of Baltimore for the first time. Need recommendation for decent hotel close to the port that has shuttle to the port and hopefully good restaurants close by. Thank you in advance!

I’m new to doing a back to back cruise so I’m hoping those of you that have done it can help me. I’ve read that we are escorted off the ship last, go through customs and then back on board. What about our new sail and sign card for the next cruise? I am wanting to meet my daughter and son in law for lunch at the pier and to get off the ship for a couple of hours. Will there be a special entrance for us or will we have to stand in line with all the people embarking the ship? Sorry about the ignorance but this is a first for me so I need help from the experts!

My husband and I took this cruise last July and were a little disappointed because two of the ports we were looking forward to were cancelled...anchorage and icy straight due to ship problems so we are booked again and leave Monday to try it again! We loved the itinerary and would encourage anyone to go if they could!

Can anyone tell me what it costs for a taxi from the pier in Homer to the winery? I know that there is a bus that takes you to town that you can pay for but I don't know how far the winery is from where they drop you off. The ship does have one excursion that takes you to a brewery and the winery for $90 pp but we don't care that much about beer. Thank you in advance for your help!

Can anyone tell me if there is souvenir shopping close to the port? I am looking for t shirts with the Columbian flag on them. Thank you!

Any guess at what a cab would cost from the Black Falcon Pier?

Thank you Carol! You were spot on with the Battery Wharf! With taxes and fees it was $268 but I guess still a good deal considering. Now on the return you say Copley Square back bay area is a good choice. Can you please elaborate? How far will we be from the airport and what kind of hotel might we get? And you said its a good area for dining and shopping. You have been very helpful and I appreciate your taking the time to answer my questions!

Cruising out of Boston in October. Looking for a hotel close to the cruiseport and shopping. Hotwire has what they call "Fanueil Hall/North End/waterfront area boutique hotel for $211 for Oct. 17. Does anyone have any idea what hotel it might be? We won't have a vehicle so we are trying to stay close and the price looks very good for Boston. We are also wanting to stay post cruise and the same hotel is $291 for Oct. 25!

Thanks for any help you can give!

My DH and I will be on the Miracle 15 day to Hawaii next month and was wondering if they repeat the dinner menu every week? This will be a first for us to be on a ship longer than 7 days so were just wondering how they did this. Thank u in advance for any replies!

Stayed at Hotel Maya several years ago to park and cruise for a 7 day cruise. Do they have a package to park and cruise for a 15 day cruise? Or does anyone know of a hotel that does? Many thanks in advance! My cruise is for 10/18/14

We always eat at Geddy's. Check them out at http://www.geddys.com. They have a picture gallery where they take pictures of their customers. It's fun to look at your picture a year later and remember the good times!

Does anyone know if Princess allows you to bring water, soft drinks etc. on board on embarkation day like Carnival does? We always like to carry diet tonic water as they don't have it available to purchase.

Thank you in advance!
