mom for life Posted September 20, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 20, 2019 We've parked here in the past and just drove up and parked but looking on the website, they note that it is good to have a reservation...Has anyone parked there recently without a reservation? We will be sailing out on a 13-day Gem Cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1025cruise Posted September 20, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 20, 2019 The official parking is offsite and shuttles you in. There is also parking at the EDIC garage. Not sure a reservation is necessary, but if you know you will be there, why not make one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expat Cruise Posted September 21, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Cruise Parking Complete Guide: Boston Cruise Port Parking & Hotels (updated 2019 Travel Season) GregSeptember 16, 2019 Ever since 2004, we have been helping passengers in finding secure parking options that meet any requirements. Thanks to our 15-year experience, we have made a parking reservation process so simple that you can reserve a discounted Boston Cruise parking spot online within minutes! We offer you clear and upfront pricing, reviews, and guides on how and where to park or stay for Boston Cruiseport. Raymond L. Flynn Black Falcon Cruise Terminal is a popular Boston’s port visited by half a million passengers each year from April to November. If you plan a cruise from this port and want to leave your car there during that time, knowing what to expect will save you a lot of time. So, we will provide an extensive list of everything you need to know about Boston Cruise Parking and the port itself. Boston CruisePort has a great location – you can find interesting museums, cool restaurants, and a few breweries in the area. Downtown Boston is also very close, and the city center is less than 2 miles away from the port. Therefore, if you get to the port earlier, you can use your spare time and check out some of these interesting places nearby. The closest airport to the Boston Port is Boston Logan International Airport – it is a 10-minute drive away. The fastest transfer between Logan Airport and CruisePort is a water taxi. Note that you should arrive at least two hours before departure. That way, you will have enough time to park your car, board a free shuttle, and go through security. Boston Cruise Parking Boston Black Falcon Cruise Terminal offers safe and close-in parking, and you can choose between uncovered and covered parking structures. Parking rates depend on a parking option, but you can see below that there is no great difference in daily prices. After dropping your luggage, head to one of the following parking facilities: The C1 Parking Lot is situated on Terminal Street. It is uncovered parking structure with no height restrictions, so it is great for oversized vehicles as well. All parking spaces are available on a first come, first served basis. However, if this lot is full, you will be directed to the EDIC parking garage. The parking rate for ticketed cruise passengers at the C1 Lot is $20 per day. Flynn Cruiseport Parking Lot is available only if you make a parking reservation in advance. It is located at 501 Congress Street, just across from Waterside Place. Free shuttles frequently run between the parking lot and the terminal. The daily parking rate is $21. The EDIC Garage (Economic Development Industrial Corporation) is a more convenient parking facility located at 12 Dry Dock Avenue. This garage parking is very close to the terminal and provides many covered parking spots. All parking spaces are available on a first come, first served basis. Parking costs $25 per day. Parking Option Daily Rate Weekly Rate 10 to 14-Day Rate C1 Parking Lot $20 $140 $200 Flynn Cruiseport Parking Lot $21 $147 $210 EDIC Garage $25 $170 $200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitemare Posted September 22, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Interesting choice of pictures, obviously not of Boston. 3 ships in port today. RCCL, Princess, and TUI. Parked so tightly against that pier! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really it is a 3 minute walk located on the pier, less than 600 feet. How can you say the EDCI Lot is not a official lot? Drop the bags on the east side of the pier, park on the right side and walk 3 minutes. Really hate all the mis information that seems to be blindly posted to the internet from 12 Drydock Ave, Boston, MA 02210, USA to Raymond L.

Every time there is police waving you away to the official parking lots. Edited October 6, 2019 by Arzeena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1025cruise Posted October 6, 2019 #10 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Simple, the official cruise parking is the offsite lot with the shuttles. It is not the EDIC garage. My guess as more business has moved to the area, the EDIC garage is needed for parking for the businesses. I can't speak for the lot at the front of the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess as more business has moved to the area, the EDIC garage is needed for parking for the businesses. I can't speak for the lot at the front of the ship. Official Boston cruise parking is now at the South Boston Waterfront Transportation Center (SBWTC) run by Massport - https://promo.parking.com/boston-cruise-ship-parking/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwoebsBRCHARIsAC3JP0JPrP1zALhvih4OBJOPEm9rzwu418WRe3rfdTboU4VcD1HAHMVwrAcaApAxEALw_wcB I agree that more business has moved into the Seaport area and the daily usage of the EDIC garage by weekday workers has gone up. Boston cruising is seasonal without sufficient parking demand to justify a cruise garage by the terminal. The SBWTC serves multiple purposes - daily business parking, offsite Logan Airport parking, and seasonal cruise parking. The Silver Line Station is right there for an easy transfer to both the airport and the Cruiseport. As an added incentive to park there Massport offers guaranteed reservations, reduced daily rates, and a free shuttle bus. My impression is that the EDIC garage is most likely to have cruise parking available for weekend sailings, but there is no guarantee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
