Nitemare Posted September 25, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Is a reservation needed to park at the pier in Boston? Any other important info that we should know? Suggestions for hotel the night before cruise? no reservation needed for parking. Lots of hotels all over the place at various pricepoints. What's your budget and what are the dates you'll be here?

morry2121 Posted September 26, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Thanks, Nitemare, we just need a standard room, what ever the going rate is, for 1 night, Oct 23rd, boarding the cruise on the 24th. You are sure no reservation is needed for parking at the terminal? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eqty Posted September 26, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 26, 2014 There is a parking garage at Black Falcon Terminal. No need to make reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahecht Posted September 26, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 26, 2014 To get the discounted $16/day rate you may need to show your cruise documents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morry2121 Posted October 4, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Do they have luggage trolleys at the parking lot here? I'm thinking of the kind they provide at airports, we are thinking of taking a case of coke, quite heavy and awkward to carry along with usual luggage.

What we do is DH drops me and all the luggage at the pier and then he goes and parks the car. I wait outside with our carry ons and give everything else to one of the porters. He is back in less than ten minutes. If it is rainy, I can just stand inside and wait for him. Here is a link that has directions and a map of the area. http://www.massport.com/port-of-boston/cruiseport-boston/parking/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reallyitsmema Posted October 19, 2014 #10 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Just to follow up, we got off the Brilliance this morning and had parked in the garage for the week. My DH dropped me at the curb but I did have him check for luggage carts in the garage and there are none. He did the usual drop off at the curb and then go park. We were able to bring on soda with no issues at security. After cruise, we had porter bring everything out to the curb and I waited for him to get the car. We had a bunch of bags since there were 4 of us this cruise. DH said he did not have to show any cruise documents when entering or exiting the garage. They ask you to go to level 5 to park for the cruise, which is the roof of the garage, but they don't verify that you actually go up there, though he did park up there. You pay on exit and it is an automated machine that takes both cash and credit cards. An attendant did come over to help if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted October 20, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 20, 2014 We have parked in that garage many times when visiting friends on ships in Boston. We've never had a reservation or any issue at all. We've always found a space, our car was safe and it's easy paying at the auto. machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
