The garage parking across the street from the terminal used to be available for cruise parking years ago but it's no longer.

There are signs directing you to cruise parking. It takes you to the C1 lot. Here's the sign in front of the C1 lot.

The C1 lot is located at 5 Terminal Street Boston, MA 02210

I don't think anyone will have an issue with the lot being full since it's impossible to book online even though there's a link. Most people just book the massport parking on fargo st. because you can prepay for that lot online. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the terminal. They offer a shuttle but expect a delay when trying to get back to your vehicle on departure due to long lines. The C1 lot is a good size lot. It was only about 1/4 full. You can view the lot on google maps.

I'm going to answer this for other cruisers. C1 is available as of 10/8/23. You can't book it online. The sign out front reads "Cruise parking $25 per day". There is an attendant and you pay right there. Credit card only. There were plenty of spots. This is the cheapest and ideal parking for sailing out of Boston. You don't have to deal with shuttle service to the fargo lot like I did.

I'm also sailing in October out of Boston. I'm using the parking associated with the cruise port. If you go on parking.com you can find your sailing and make a reservation. They have a special cruise rate The parking is on 93 Fargo St. I plan on dropping my family and luggage off at the terminal then parking the car. They offer a free shuttle from the lot to the terminal. Otherwise, It's a 10 minute walk. I used to park at the C1 parking lot that is located adjacent to the terminal but that doesn't look like it's cruise parking anymore.

Does anyone know if the C1 parking lot right next to the terminal is still open? It's not showing up anywhere online to make a reservation. Looks like at one point it was available on parkwhiz. Not anymore. Is it closed? Last time I used it was in 2019 and you just paid with your credit card to the attendant when you parked. Hoping somebody with a recent cruise out of Boston might have some info.
