Parking at the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal is a popular subject over on the Easy Coast Departures board. The closest parking lots to the Terminal all run $30/day, which is decent when compared to Manhattan and Brooklyn's $45/day. Given the length of your stay, maybe look into a Logan Park 'n Fly package to save a few $$$s per day? Don't know if that will help or not though. For our 7 day in mid-July, we are simply showing up and trying each of the three closest lots and will park at the first one with availability. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/317-east-coast-departures/ Edited May 17 by lx200gps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. the official Boston Cruise Ship terminal is called the Flynn Black Falcon Cruiseport Terminal, 1 Black Falcon Ave, Boston, MA, just off the I90 and across the channel from Logan airport. Our last Princess trip used it, as will our next Princess trip this July. https://www.google.ca/maps/place/FLYNN+cruiseport+boston+Black+Falcon+Terminal/@42.3433781,-71.033504,17.33z/data=!4m10!1m2!2m1!1sboston+cruise+port!3m6!1s0x89e370825815a031:0x4c3e54cd24fc9f76!8m2!3d42.3435791!4d-71.0335127!15sChJib3N0b24gY3J1aXNlIHBvcnSSAQ9jcnVpc2VfdGVybWluYWzgAQA!16s%2Fg%2F1tgp1tk5?hl=en&entry=ttu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 1025cruise Posted June 1 #11 Share Posted June 1 None of the lots near the cruise port are covered. Only the garage in the seaport area is, but they want cruisers to park on the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navybankerteacher Posted June 2 #13 Share Posted June 2 Depending upon how many will be riding in your van, and where in the “Hudson Valley” you are from, you might want to consider Amtrak from New York to Boston as an alternative to driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're forced to use the roof, there is little incentive to use the garage over one of the nearby open lots, we'll just stick with either the C1 lot or the "official" lot on Fargo. I had read a post here on CC from someone who had parked in the garage on a cruise last summer, and they reported at the time that they had spoken with the garage managers and yes, cruisers were welcome to use the garage but were asked to park on the "upper floors", no mention of being restricted to the roof. Not that it means much, but when I look at satellite views of the garage from both Google and Bing, the garage roof is completely empty of cars, not a single one.

Rare 1025cruise Posted June 3 #15 Share Posted June 3 It's been years since I parked in the garage, but I was directed to the roof. Also, in the years since I did that, the Black Falcon area has been built up a lot more, so more people using the garage on a daily basis. I believe this is why the official cruise port parking is no longer using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which lot are you referring to, there are multiple parking lots around the terminal? Someone on another thread said it was for the C1 lot, the closest lot to the terminal, but the C1 lot is only available on Fridays, hence the refunds. I t seems kind of silly for them to have such a useful lot only available on one day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
