I wonder if you have had it and just didn’t know. Have you had an antibody test? I had an antibody test done that indicated that I have several levels of antibodies which means that I have had Covid a number of times. I was unaware of having it! I’ve never tested. No reason to.

I can entertain myself at home! I’m on a cruise for ports and entertainment on the ship!

They are high price but I make them part of my trip! One of my favorite restaurants! Near Long Wharf Marriott. Also Fanieul Hall almost across the street. BOSTON - A WATERFRONT LEGEND ON LONG WHARF The pride of Long Wharf, Chart House Boston is renowned for its location and its menu. As Long Wharf's oldest surviving structure, formerly the John Hancock Counting House, the seafood restaurant is a fusion of history and modern style. The newly renovated interior is full of bold colors, a hopping happy hour and the kind of creative seafood dishes that draw a crowd. With an area so full of legendary locales, there's plenty to see and do just a short distance away. Stop by Chart House Boston after a day of boating and shopping around Long Wharf, or enjoy a delicious lunch before an outing to Downtown Boston, Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park and more. See the tall ships that visit our waters or watch the enormous 4th of July celebration on the harbor each year. To get a taste of a true seafood legend and the best Prime Rib Boston has to offer, visit Chart House on Long Wharf! 60 Long Wharf, Boston, MA 02110 (617) 227-1576 SUN: 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM MON - THU: 11:00 AM - 10:00 PM FRI - SAT: 11:00 AM - 11:00 PM Happy Hour: Monday - Friday 4:30PM - 6:30PM

If you are able to cancel and rebook I would recommend another area of the city. Marriott Long Wharf and Boston Park Plaza are both much better locations to easily get out and see Boston. I’m a local and these are my two choices when I stay in Boston. You can easily get a taxi to take you to the port.

Many new cruisers on my cruises. Many have been on the circus type ships. They take their children on ships with 2,000 children. Their children didn’t get to do most activities because too many children! They came to HAL for a classic cruise like they went on as children! Years ago many families cruised with no children’s clubs or circus activities such as slides, climbing walls and go karts. Those giant ships are bringing more people to HAL and Oceania.

My last two HAL in June and July were wonderful! Many younger families with children! Much improved music! Eurodam Rolling Stone Lounge best band I’ve heard in a long time. Packed every night. The dueling piano entertainers excellent Volendam great solo piano bar entertainer. Ocean bar band and singers excellent! Food on both excellent! it was great seeing the families enjoy everything together. The children danced the night away with their parents! Both pools were packed with people having a great time I'm not much of a drinker but they had amazing cocktails! The food was excellent! I love all the changes!

I had an inside on top deck my favorite! Eurodam. First offer was to go to obstructed ocean view. No thanks. A week later an offer for an ocean view. No thank you! Then it came! A week before sailing! Aft balcony for $150/pp. so for $300 I went from inside to aft balcony. Best cabin ever! Best cruise to Alaska! I loved Rolling Stones Lounge!

Choosing a later embarkation due to no mariner’s lunch?

For some reason the security people are often airport people and try to do it the airport way. It’s somehow the same security company or the people work for both companies. -

I’ve been out of Boston Flynn Pier twice this year and no one checked for what was in our water containers. Yes plastic bottles not allowed. Boston for some reason gets security people not familiar with the pier security. They are airport people. Try to do it the airport way. Just hope that we have the regular pier security staff when we return to Boston. OMG a while ago the airport security people were there as we were getting off the ship. At 8:30 am they finally realized there was a major roadblock getting off the ship. Someone in charge intervened and told security this is a cruise port and not the airport. All the security personnel stepped aside and we were free to leave as usual. -

I’ve never heard of that to board a ship. That is only for airline. June and July I had no issues. I had the usual toiletries and only do carry on with all my luggage. No issues last year either. -

Boston dock workers are why we must board earlier than some ports. Even when we were sailing at 7pm we had to be on quite early. But they are good about delayed check in because of delays flights and weather. During a Hurricane we were boarding until 8pm! No power in most of the area. I had no power in my house. Two hour limousine ride after walking over downed trees on my street. They told us fifty canceled last minute. With HAL Platinum you can do that. They offered to upgrade many of us but at full price! No way! We left Boston at midnight.
