Cruise Port in Boston

[middvillmom]

Can anyone tell me the name of the Port or location where the Explorer of the Seas will dock when in Boston? Trying to see it on map, so I can get an idea of what we will do in Boston.

 

Thanks.

It's called the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal

Thanks....just wanted to be sure. Is it easy to get from the cruise port to lets say the freedom trail tour? Bus, train??

You can take the T to the beginning of the Freedom Trail. The SL2 Silver Line bus stops across the street from Black Falcon and will take you to South Station where you can do a free transfer to the Red Line direction Alewife to go two stops to Park St. There is an information booth in Boston Common and that is the start of the Freedom Trail.

Are the trains/buses pretty fast (like NYC subway)? I've looked at the train website and it seems like the best option. The bus is near the terminal as I saw from the map. OK....thanks for the info.

Waiting time for any train can be 10 minutes, but total actual traveling time, once aboard, shouldn't be more than 15 minutes.
