Boston excursion Lexington, Concord, Harvard

The ship excursion Lexington, Concord, Harvard have been wait listed since 6 weeks prior to start of cruise. What's going on? Besides local tours are better price so would like suggestions on catching one that is easily accessible from the port.

What date? What ship? What hours in port?

Are there specific private tours you are considering?

Have you visited Boston before? If not, I'd see Boston on a port stop here before getting on a bus and leaving town

I have been to Boston many years ago but will like sight see the city Oct 14.

Here's a current thread from the East Coast Board that might be of interest - https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2658806&highlight=Lexington

Oct 13 is a peak time for fall foliage. Not at all surprised that tours to Lexington and Concord are booked. I live in the area and over the years have seen huge numbers of tour buses parked at the North Bridge the second week in October.

Great news. Princess finally notified us that we made it onto the tour from being waitlisted. They must have gotten enough PAX's on the wait list to make up another full or nearly full bus (and planning on selling more at a big profit since this is a popular excursion).
