Perfect for my elderly family members birthday. Imagine my surprise when a large group of intoxicated people showed up and ruined the entire experience for everyone on board. They continued to drink throughout the tour making it even more intolerable. At one point two of the drunk men stumbled over to where I was sitting for a "better view." They got so close that I was pinned against the boat and one of their friends had to intervene. The captain however, did not intervene. I observed him being tipped by this group which gave him incentive to turn a blind eye to their behavior. I wanted to address all of this at the time but did not want to make a scene in front of my family. Furthermore, I would've had to complain to the captain right in front of the drunk people which would leave me open to retaliation. I did reach out to the company the next day via email and outlined everything that took place. I received an email back a few days later from the captain denying that anything happened. No apology, no compensation of any kind. He had total disregard for the safety of everyone else on board who had their experience ruined. One last note to put things in perspective. I work at a night club. I deal with intoxicated people all the time and have a high tolerance. This behavior was unacceptable and unreasonable, especially since all of their advertising leads you to believe this will be a peaceful experience.

The Gray Line New England Sea Coast tour was one of the highlights of 2016. This review on this…read morevery tour will be my very first Yelp review covering a subject in three different states. The nine hour tour started off in Boston Massachusetts at the Massachusetts Transportation Center then into northeast Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. This review breaks the New England Sea Coast tour by the three states for easy reading. Massachusetts: Hotel pickup to New Hampshire 286 The tour started when the bus picked us up at the hotel. This was the shuttle bus to the Massachusetts Transportation Building in downtown. This is where we paid the $69 prior to boarding the actual tour bus. The driver, who never gave his name was a knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide. As we left downtown, he told us the facts behind the landmarks we were passing that included the Massachusetts State House, the Old State House, a cemetery, and Boston Commons. After leaving Boston on the Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge. Once we passed the Charles River, the driver took a hiatus on talking until we got off Interstate 95 near New Hampshire. As the bus cruised north on Interstate 93 and northeast on Interstate 95; I took in the New England roadside scenery in a very comfortable bus. Usually I get this phobia when I am not in front of the bus. This bus was so comfortable that it was not bothering me being in the middle. New Hampshire : An exit south of the New Hampshire border, the bus turned east on Route 286. In a few minutes we entered New Hampshire where we passed miles of wetlands. Our driver gave one fact after another from New Hampshire is expensive to live in, to most of the lobsters you will eat are male, to if there is a marsh nearby you will have a lot of sea food. When we made the left onto northbound New Hampshire Route 1A we would travel alongside the Atlantic Ocean until we met up with US 1 in Portsmouth. The first stop was Hampton Beach where we walked near the sandy beach and quickly looked in gift shops. Maine : Near the Pisquatica River at the Maine border we got on I-95 for a few miles. Now in Maine we soon got off the Interstate and in a few minutes were along the rocky Atlantic Coast of Maine. The driver continued to pass on his encyclopedia knowledge of the New England Coast. Our second stop was the Nuddle Lighthouse. The bus resumed along the Coast until it met up with US 1 near Ogunquit where recent suburban sprawl replaced forests. The tour guide would bring up all the Sprawl attributing it to the area becoming popular when George Bush started vacationing in Kennebunkport. Near the Rachel Carlson Wildlife Preserve, the charming side of Maine returned. In a few minutes was our third stop in Kennebunkport where we enjoyed a Maine Lobster Roll. After the third and final stop we headed back to the Atlantic Coast where we saw the vacation home of George Bush and the historic architecture of the estates in Kennebunkport. This was the northernmost point of the tour. The bus drove out of Kennebunkport in a Southwest direction on Maine Route 35. The last sight we saw was the Wedding House. As soon as we got on southbound Interstate 95 toward Boston, the tour officially was over. My final paragraph on the tour starts off by suggesting that you sit on the right side of the bus. The right side windows overlook the Atlantic Ocean, the Wedding House, and a nice view of the Charles River returning into Boston. In conclusion I highly recommend the Gray Line New England Sea Coast tour.

I stayed here for one night a couple of Monday's ago with wife. We arrived to the hotel at around…read more10 PM only to find a drunk or homeless person right outside the entrance. We shuffled on by the find an easy and quick checkin with the person at the desk. She informed us that parking was going to be $15/night and upon us agreeing, we parked in our assigned stall. Since we were leaving early the next morning we probably could have parked on the street but with the lady at the entrance, we decided not to risk it. In any case we proceeded up to our room and were impressed whenever we entered. This building clearly used to be an apartment building and so our room had a hallway, living room, kitchenette and bathroom. The floors were hardwood and there were giant TV's in both the bedroom and the living room. Since it was late I can't say that we used much of it but both my wife and I found the bed to be comfortable. All too soon after we fell asleep it was 4 AM and we were headed to the airport for our flight. Due to the rather short stay, we didn't get to use any of the amenities which was disappointing since breakfast was included in the rate. The bottom line for me is that I would stay at the Winthrop Beach Inn and Suites in the future. Our room was super nice for the price, especially in Boston and it's location was only a few minutes to the airport. Hopefully the next time we can enjoy it for a bit longer!

Pros: Big, spacious rooms…read moreKitchen with all the essentials Close to the airport Close to the beach On site parking ($15 per night)- book ahead Continental breakfast Separate living area Early check in Affordable Cons: Not walking distance from any main attraction Definitely a great hotel for those planning to stay for a few days or even for those needing to get to the airport early. It reminded me of an efficiency apartment. It had plenty of space. It was clean. We arrived early and we were able to check in early. That was a plus since we wanted to leave our bags and get to sightseeing. It is a 15-25 min lyft ride to most attractions. I didn't try out their continental breakfast, but their kitchen looked pretty big.

Family friends had gone on the identical cruise just a month or so earlier and said it took them 2-3 hours to embark. Concerned, I headed over early, taking the subway then switching to the Silverline SL2, which took me to the east most point of the Cruiseport Terminal, dropped off my rolling luggage at the Baggage Drop, and got in the short line (covered) at the proper terminal shortly before 10am on a Saturday. Just after 10:30am the yellow barricade opened up for us to move our line towards the escalator. At 10:45am, we started heading up (spaced out) the escalator. Enmass we filled out the Canada Declaration Card and waited for our Boarding Group to be called, and we started being called to board shortly after 11am. For our return, I self-disembarked at my convenience after having enjoyed a buffet brunch and simply rolled my luggage along behind me out of the ship, into the terminal and out again. It was about a 10 minute walk to the Silver Line Way, where I carefully made sure I was on the correct side of the street, so I could catch a $2.40 ride to South Station.
