Any advice for cruises out of Boston?

[miniature horses]

As I have a fear of flying :mad: , my cruise options are limited - I live in Maine, took the Jewel of the Seas to Bermuda out of Boston last year and it was outstanding. I understand that it was a one shot deal though. I'm spoiled, having a balcony on that ship. I understand NCL does not have balconies. I'm looking for a cruise to anywhere really, for 2008, out of Boston. I checked the ports here in Maine, looks like nothing goes out of here but cruises to other Maine ports and Canada, which doesn't excite me at all - I can drive there! Looks like we have some experienced cruise folks here on this website - can anyone offer me any advice?:confused:

thanks for any input.

You may want to repost this on the "Ask a Cruise Question" or "East Coast Departures" boards.

 

Some answers though:

• NCL does have ships with balconies.
  
• Have you thought about treatment for "Fear of Flying"? Hypnosis works for some and there are other programs that use individual or group therapy. I know that I heard of a therapy treatment that ends with a short flight.
  
• As a last resort, other ground transportation like train or bus to get you to Charleston, SC or Fla.

The Jewel is back in Boston in 2008 and the cruises are available online at the RCL website. Maybe they have something for you there.

 

Good Luck!
