D.W. and I sailed May 3 - May 10 this year.
Parking was $175.
Bermuda weather was perfect with slightly cool water.
Try to find a hotel in the Woburn / Burlington area for cheaper rates
2026 cruise will be switching to Sunday sailing so traffic should be light.
Gem is a fine choice.
After 3 b2b cruise to Quebec from Boston I will say you will see some rough water.
A cabin on a lower deck center/aft will give you a much better ride.
For us a last minute deal from our NCL PCC - it was buy an inside gty and get a midship balcony cabin for $199 pp on a 7 night Canada cruise.
The best and least expensive cruise of the 30 we have done.
