Cruisin Together Posted June 4, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Cruising into Boston in Oct and I noticed that there is an excursion to Salem related to the witches. Has anyone done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakersdozen12 Posted June 4, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 4, 2017 What cruise line? You might have better luck getting some feedback if you post in your specific cruise line's forum. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I disagree...this is where this question might/should get answered. I'm also going to be in Boston onboard Anthem and will be curious as to the answer's the OP will get here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted June 5, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 5, 2017 There are lots of witch tours in Salem and they are very popular. If you like that kind of thing then that's the kind of thing you'll like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VidaNaPraia Posted June 5, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 5, 2017 There are lots of witch tours in Salem and they are very popular. If you like that kind of thing then that's the kind of thing you'll like. Exactly. IMO they are all pretty tacky. For "witch stuff", try Rebecca Nurse House in nearby Danvers. http://www.rebeccanurse.org/. "The Rebecca Nurse Homestead sits on 25+ acres of an original 300 acres occupied by Rebecca Nurse and her family from 1678-1798. The property holds the traditional saltbox home lived in by the Nurse family. This is the only home of a person executed during the trials open to the public." The best "attraction" in Salem IMO is the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM). Second: House of Seven Gables. Third: General architecture in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Girl of VA Posted June 22, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 22, 2017 The best "attraction" in Salem IMO is the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM). Second: House of Seven Gables. Third: General architecture in town. I agree with this. As a native from the North Shore, this is where I would send visitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VidaNaPraia Posted June 24, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Note: PEM currently has a very well done exhibit on cruise ships. Includes striking posters from the guided age of these ships, huge ship models, interior decoration and furniture (including a very sculptural deck chair from the Titanic) , detailed 360 computer images of areas of a ship (stateroom, engine room, public rooms, kitchens), ephemera, clothing, and much more--even a musician playing a piano from one old classic ships.
