We just booked the Oasis for May directly through RCI...great rate (in CDN funds), $150 onboard credit and the ability to make changes myself without having to go through a travel agent. Our previous 4 cruises were all booked through an agent, but I realized I didn't get much more than I could get just going through RCI directly. Their CSR was great, and had us booked in no time!

PattyG12 - was the DoubleTree fairly close to the airport and cruise port as well?

Since I can't search the forum pages right now, wondering if anyone can tell me anything about the 7th deck hump cabins on the Oasis. Have a hold on a cabin until tomorrow....mid-hump, closer to the front. I see cabins above and below us, and it looks like a decent walk up and down stairs to the action....am I right? Should I have any reservations about booking here? Any benefits?

Wow, I had no idea things were so close together! Can't wait to find our way around on Saturday!! Thanks to all of you for your info and help :)

In the evening, after dinner, a taxi from North End to your hotel should not cost much more than $10 - $12 plus tip. Could be less. :)

 

Oh wow...that's not expensive at all! Ok, how about to/from Faneuil Hall? Would that be much more?

Thanks everyone. Leaning toward taking the T and winging it since it seems pretty easy to get around. We don't live in a subway city, so a little nervous about knowing where we're going and when we need to switch lines, but I'm sure we'll figure it out.

Thinking about walking around Cambridge first ... mostly MIT ... then taking the T into the Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market area, and deciding what to do from there. Sounds like the North End is the place to end our evening for dinner, then we just need to find the T to take us back to our hotel! Worst case....let's say we're exhausted and lost...would a taxi from the north end to cambridge be crazy expensive??

Great suggestions...thank you all! All of those places are certainly ones we've looked at and heard of. Thought a hop on, hop off might be easiest to get around while learning a little something at the same time. Looks like the T is pretty easy to navigate though, so might give that a shot. Appreciate all of your help!

We will be driving to Boston (well Cambridge) on Friday from Ontario, Canada, and are leaving Sunday on the Carnival Glory.

Decided to stay in Cambridge at the Kendall Hotel as Saturday morning will start at the MIT Museum (hubby's request). From there, we were thinking about purchasing tickets for the Old Town Trolley to see Boston, but are wondering if anyone has opinions or ideas for a better way to see the town and spend the day?

Not looking for anything in particular...not baseball fans, not history buffs...just want to feel like we saw Boston. Might do some shopping. Definitely want some yummy food.

Any suggestions for what to do on our one day in town before we sail out?

28....so excited...Freedom, here we come!
