I'm heading to Boston for a business trip later in November. If there's any time, that looks like a place I would enjoy visiting. Thanks for all the pictures!

Holy Cow! I've never wanted to go up there to sightsee, but you have changed my mind! And I can even drive up there! Fantastic review. Thanks so much! Love what you are doing, and the pics are real sellers!

 

Thanks for reading and for your kind words! That's the effect we're looking for. Enjoy your road trip to New England & Canada!

Again, great review Jeff, wonderful detail on the ports!  Cannot wait to read the summary of the two cruises.  

 

Thanks Jimbo. Yep, starting to wind down now.

Thanks for reading! Enjoy your trip to Boston. They also do those Ghost & Gravestone tours at night which would be awesome.

We have arrived at my Husband Daycare facility here in Boston. This is my 2^nd favorite facility, topped only by Hooters! 

 

 

 

Now for those that don’t know, there are two Cheers locations in Boston. The original one  is up on Beacon Hill, and the outside shots for the television show were taken there. The second location was built at the Faneuil Hall Marketplace, which is the location we are visiting today. The bar is an exact replica of the one seen on the set of the television show…..

 

 

We got there just as it opened, so Patti was able to get these shots before the crowds moved in.....

 

 

 

 

The Cheers Pub is downstairs, and where the restrooms are. (Always important to know)…..

 

 

 

 

Of course they have a gift shop…..

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

If you look around you will see that most of the gang is here…..

 

 

 

 

Here are the beers served on tap…..

 

 

Of course since Norm is always here, he has his own brew…..

 

 

Our first drinks have arrived…..

 

 

It’s a thing of beauty…..the beer, not me! 

 

 

 

Since we skipped breakfast this morning to go on the early tour, we need a little lunch. Here are the menus…..

 

 

 

 

 

Patti had the chicken fingers, and I had the Oktober Fest special which was knockwurst & bratwurst withpeppers & onions. It also came with red bliss potato salad. It was all very good!

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Joining us down at our end of the bar were Richard, Ashley, and Doug…..

 

 

 

Patti heads out to go exploring Quincy Market. There is a North Market, and a South Market…..

 

 

 

 

Faneuil Hall itself is getting a makeover.....

 

 

Patti stops at a shop that sells signs…..

 

 

 

 

 

This is Dick’s Last Resort. This place is good for a few laughs…..

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Patti is exploring the streets around the Quincy Market…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Patti is back at the Quincy Market…..

 

 

 

 

 

Patti visits an antique print shop…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

This street performer is juggling knives. I wouldn’t get too close! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Patti stops back at Cheers to collect me, so after one more beer we head to the designated pick up place to catch the trolley back to the ship…..

 

 

 

Here are some views from the trolley as we head back to the ship…..

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Here are some more views from the trolley…..

 

 

 

We pass the Boston Fire Museum…..

 

 

 

We have made it back to the pier. I guess they forgot to make a sign for the Sunrise! 

 

 

There is a short line to get back on the ship…..

 

 

 

We were back in our cabin around 2:30 pm. Here is today’s towel animal…..

Sam Adams Octoberfest is one of my favorites.

So did you try Norm's Beer? 🍺

Just catching up, Great review Jeff as always. The customs event in Portland, took me back several years when we routinely had to do this in St. Thomas. But, it was a much bigger inconvenience because we had to wait until most of the passengers went through before getting off. And of course, the passenger counts back then were around 2,000 or less.

No I didn't. I was in the mood for Blue Moon this day, so that's what I stuck with.

Thanks so much for reading! We felt sorry for those passengers on the lower decks who weren't able to leave the ship until after noontime. 

[Jamman54]

We watched our sail away from Boston out on the open decks…..

 

 

Here are a few views of Boston as we prepared to sail away…..

 

 

 

 

 

We had a good view of the jets coming in for a landing at the nearby Logan International Airport…..

 

 

 

 

The Carnival Sunrise has pushed away from the pier…..

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

There isn’t enough room to turn around here so the Carnival Sunrise will have to back all the way out before spinning around to head out to sea. As we back out we pass the Scenic Eclipse…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Our buddy Yoki finds us and brings Patti and me drinks to enjoy while we sail away…..

 

 

Here are some more views while the Carnival Sunrise backs out into the bay…..

 

 

 

 

Two Boston Police Boats keeps an eye on us…..

 

 

 

We have a great view of Logan International Airport…..

 

 

 

 

 

Here are a few more views of Boston…..

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

We are now out in the bay so now the Sunrise can spin around to head out to sea…..

 

 

 

 

 

At this point jets that are landing are flying directly over us…..

 

 

We are leaving Boston behind…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

We are all the way aft on Deck 10. Here are some views of Sports Square and the Tides Pool and hot tubs…..

 

 

 

 

 

As we sail out to sea we pass a few of the outer islands…..

[Jamman54]

We head back to the cabin to get ready for dinner on this, the second Cruise Elegant Night. Tonight we have reservations at Cucina del Capitano at 7:30 pm…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are the menus…..

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Our bread has arrived. Yummy!

 

 

I’m drinking Peroni, an Italian beer…..

 

 

Here we are at Cucina del Capitano…..

 

 

 

The Chef’s are hard at work…..

 

 

We both start off with a Caesar salad…..

 

 

We both share the arancini (rice balls), and Nonna’s meatballs…..

 

 

For our mains, Patti has the pasta and shrimp, and I have the chicken parmigiana…..

 

 

 

Patti and I also shared an order of the fingerling potatoes…..

 

 

Here is the dessert menu…..

 

 

Patti had the Italian apple pie, and I had the chocolate biscotti…..

 

 

 

All the food was very good, and well worth the $15 up charge. As we left Patti posed by the Cucina sign…..

 

 

Afterwards, Patti went back to the cabin to watch a movie and get a jump on her packing.  I went to the Sports Bar to hang out with Stefan for a while…..

 

Coming up next: The beginning of the end…..

The apple pie sounded really good, and I suspect my DH would have opted for the biscotti too 🙂 I'll definitely have to give Cucina a go if we sail on a ship with it again.

Just wanted to let you know that I went to Mason's Famous Lobster Roll place on Friday night in Charleston before we sailed Saturday, 10/26.  It was really, really good!  The roll wasn't huge but there was so much lobster meat in it that it was very filling (especially with a draft to wash it down).  I actually considered getting one to take back to the hotel but stopped myself.  Discovered there's one not far from me in Raleigh!

Thanks so much for your kind words! We like to think that we're not getting older, we're getting better!  You need to try Cucina for sure!

Glad that you made it there. Now my question is: butter or mayo?

Both!  I got the Classic (chilled with mayo & lemon butter).  Next time I may go for the one with the tail on top, the Bar Harbor!  Thank goodness the one in Raleigh is far enough away that I won't be tempted too often!

Day # 13  -  8/28/19  -  Our final day at sea.

 

We woke up at 7 am to a beautiful sunny day, though it’s a little chilly at 55 degrees. The seas are flat calm as we make our way back to New York. Here are the last Fun Times of our B2B cruises…..

 

 

 

 

The last Morning Show of the cruise…..

 

 

 

Just as the show got started, the Behind the Fun tour wandered through the Liquid Lounge…..

 

 

Here are our CD Mikey, Tyler (Bubba), and Pablo…..

 

 

 

 

Raeden drops by to plug the last day sales at the Fun Shops…..

 

 

 

Patti and I started attending the Morning Show on our Hawaii cruise, and we enjoy these shows very much. It’s a great way to meet and interact with your CD and Fun Squad members and get to know them. Here they are signing off…..
