There are a few in town options. Ask on the Iceland forum at TripAdvisor for recent recommendations as Covid has caused some changes in options

Then order your lobster roll without any mayo and you've got the perfect meal!

Depends on if you want to taste Lobster or Butter, I guess. I never add butter to my lobster, no matter how it is prepared. I like the taste of Lobster!

We get the cold mayo one "hold the mayo". If someone wants hot buttered lobster they should order a lobster or a lobster casserole

Ask if the ship will turn the upper deck lights off. If they won't then you won't see the lights from the ship unless it is a very strong show. We did a South Atlantic cruise a few years ago and met the Navigator and arranged a "Southern Sky" viewing get together one evening, as many of us wanted to "See the Southern Cross for the First Time" as Jimmy Buffett sings, along with other rare to us constellations. He arranged for the lights on the top deck to be turned off for the show.

Nice location for the cruise and right across the street from an outdoor music venue. You may hear the music from your room if you face that direction. Whether you want to or not! 🙂

Definitely hurricane season. I lived in Boston all my life until last summer. I'd say you have a 15% chance of experiencing waves from a storm that you would feel on the cruise, 5% chance of a reroute, and an even smaller chance of getting stuck in NYC an extra day or two at the beginning of the cruise or returning early.

Instead of playing with the poster, you could reply to one (or none if you don't know) and report the other as a duplicate.

There are Water Taxi and MBTA options that are not affected by the tunnel closures

Plenty of sidewalks and crosswalks and shops and restaurants. Tons of construction in that area, it changes dramatically from season to season, but the walkability has always been good

I can't imagine that port handling two ships at the same time. Not even one 3000 person ship! There just isn't the infrastructure and tour buses and things to do for that many folks at one time.

BSI Bus Terminal. Many hotels may store bags for a fee

Lots of options out there. My experience is four years old and operator quality may have changed. Or ask on TripAdvisor where there are lots of local experts.

That legroom thing is important and I understand why you would chose this option then

Arctic Adventures is well regarded on TripAdvisor, which has a very active Iceland forum. You might want to post over there, too. Hopefully it's just an issue with them absorbing the other company

We love the Golden Circle but did it on a minibus for not much higher cost than a Big Bus like most of Greyline's offerings. Take a look and see if you can do the smaller tour instead. You see the same things, but you aren't waiting for 40 people at each stop to finish with pictures/bathroom/shopping, and you get more time with the guide to ask questions.

Iceland is safe, tourism is their top industry. Use TripAdvisor to find the most recommended agencies, but there are very few bad ones. Don't expect to get off the ship and find tours available, the ships use all the options in most of the ports other than Reykjavik, so book well in advance

Who was the new company that took over so folks can avoid them?

Where will you be? We've had lobster rolls in over 50 locations in New England and I'd rank half of them better than any of the chains. There are a couple folks who post Lobster Roll Quests or Trails on the Maine board at TripAdvisor. Worth checking out.

Found and Revolution are other options that have some shared facilities and some private ones.

If you change your mind and want a great one, just post here!

HI Hostel Boston (near Chinatown) is the only hostel recommended on TripAdvisor. I used to live in Boston and heard good things about it . . . and not good things about other options

For a more Fun experience but without the HOHO options, the Boston Duck Tours are great, and were the first of this kind of tour anywhere.

I can point you to great, if you want
