    Thanks. Diamond or Concierge lounge? Too bad cruising from

    Israel is only for Israeli residents. I would be happy to cruise from Haifa on the Odyssey!

    Don’t even know if he knows yet!  Do know all crew meeting the Odyssey will received their vaccinations once they get to Israel and won’t be joining the ship for another month.

    Boston Departure 10/18/20

    Thanks for the replies.  I’m not looking for a tourist/sightseeing area nor water views (will be on a cruise ship for 20 days), looking for a nice clean hotel in a safe area at a reasonable price.  Plus hotels with free airport shuttle and cruise shuttle would be a bonus—I know the BW Adams does offer these free shuttles.  
     

    Guess I should ask if anyone has stayed at any of the mentioned hotels lately before their cruise and if they would recommend.  Also don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for a hotel—in our part of the country $200/night will get you a 4* hotel.

    Boston Departure 10/18/20

    I am very interested in this discussion, we are also cruising out of Boston on 10/18/20.  I grabbed several refundable hotels as suggested, several months ago, now trying to decide which hotel and location would be the best.  Below are the hotels and prices I have booked:

    1.  Bestwestern Adams in Quincy $184

    2.  Holiday Inn Express Quincy $190

    3.  Holiday Inn Express Dorchester on Boston St $201

    4.  Hyatt Regency Airport $262

    Any recommendations from these hotels? Right now I’m leaning towards the HIE Boston St in Dorchester and the BW Adams in Quincy 
     

    We stayed at the BW Adams in Quincy before, was a good location for the cruise terminal with free shuttle.   Do you know if this is still a popular hotel for cruisers?  However, not much close to the hotel and it has some mixed reviews.

     

    The HIE on Boston St in Dorchester seems to be close to a shopping area—would you recommend?

     

    Have 2 nights booked at each hotel since not sure if we’ll fly in 1 or 2 days before the cruise.  We have toured Boston in the past, so sightseeing is not being considered.  If arriving 2 days before would be nice to have something close to the hotel to do, but if 1 day, it doesn’t matter, will just need a safe clean hotel.  What would you suggest?

     

    TYIA, Carla

    May I commend SherriZ366 for keeping up with this spread sheet, know it is a lot of work and your time is really appreciated.


    May I make a suggestion?  Why not just list The Concierge that is in each lounge and not worry about who is on vacation, etc.  it seems that RCCL is now moving people around to different ships more and more.  At least to me, it gets more confusing when people are listed as being on vacation especially when there are like 3 people listed.

     

    Liberty SL Concierge is Mangesh (MJ)

    Liberty DL Concierge is Nadja Durdevic 

    Enchantment DL Concierge is Jorge Gutierrez 

     

    Thanks for all you do!

    Here is the link to the GoogleDoc with all the concierges https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Pz4Im5qh4cqd1zE5A9srLm3wGd0_SNZwTdbLTa59EF4/edit#gid=0

    I have this documents but Jorge Gutierrez is not listed.  Also remove Nadja Durdevic from the Navigator and Mariner, she is permanent on the Liberty and presently in DL until her vacation in January.   MJ in SL.  Concierges rotate everyday 10 weeks.

    It's a beautiful resort, but have heard you can no longer walk around the grounds, the pool or beach area unless you are a registered guest.  The casino is large and visitors are welcome to gamble!!  We took the #10 bus, across the street and down a block from the straw market.  or others have taken a taxi.
