How is Parking at the Boston peer?

[salzdt]

We cruised from Boston in 2018 and was able to sign up for a Parking area that took us to the ship.  Anybody know is that is still available?

   There is Lot C1 right off of Black Falcon Ave. It is right in front of the ship if the ship docks bow-in, as most do. This is the closest parking to the ships. Needs to be booked online and sells out fast for every cruise.  

    There is the Flynn Terminal parking garage. No reservations required. Also numerous other lots and parking garages generally within easy walking distance of the pier.

   My recommendation, if there are two or more of you, is to pull up to check-in area on Black Falcon Ave. and unload everything. Give your luggage to a porter, and one of you sits with your carry-ons, etc., while the other goes and parks the car. Sure beats lugging lots of stuff any distance. And do the same when you disembark. Happy sailing!!

The garage actually doesn't allow cruise parking anymore. The official parking lot is about 5 minutes away and has a shuttle bus.

Really?  Was that recently changed?  We parked there in October, easy-peasy.  It was a flat rate fee.  I know ours was $200 for a twelve day cruise.  There was plenty of parking and so easy to walk to the terminal from there.

    For a long time, back a couple years ago, ( pre-covid) they had disallowed cruise parking. Cruised the last week of October/ first week of November and no problem parking. Unless it has changed again.

Easy parking lot right at pier. Drop of luggage and wife park car. Walk back to the terminal. Off ship we took luggage right to car and onto the Turnpike in no time.

Even though I have no peers in Boston, we found it very easy to park at the pier!  You should have no issues...

Thank you for the information.  Our cruise is September 1,2023, so I will start to look and make reservations early.

   The web site names of the companies doing parking at Lot C-1 are "PARKABM" and "PARKCHIRP".

    There also is a phone number-617-482-2487. If you're not successful, the parking garage is within a very short walking distance.
