No public lockers, he told me, . . . but no worries if your cruise leaves later in the day. Just bri




After receiving several questions about luggage storage at the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal and not being able to reach anyone there by phone, I stopped by the terminal, located in the South Boston Waterfront neighborhood, to check out storage locker world cup tickets options myself, and got the scoop from a longshoreman.
No public lockers, he told me, . . . but no worries if your cruise leaves later in the day. Just bring your bags to the bag check area at the terminal at 10:30am or later, and we'll put them in a storage holding area until time to load them onto your cruise ship.
The most convenient world cup tickets place to store luggage near the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal is at South Station because you can easily and cheaply reach it on the Silver Line bus (actually part of the Boston subway system world cup tickets because it also goes underground), which stops at the Cruise Terminal world cup tickets and will get you to South Station world cup tickets in about 10 minutes.
Alternately, you could take a cab to South Station. If you are traveling with others, the fare may not cost much more on a per-person world cup tickets basis than taking the Silver Line. A taxi is also a good choice if you have too much luggage to manage easily on your own.
Otherwise, head up to the 5th floor, where you'll find Package Express, where you can store your luggage for $5/bag. Package Express is open 7 days a week, including Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 5pm. Call 617-526-1810 to confirm hours.
From South Station, you can easily walk up the Rose Kennedy Greenway to Faneuil Hall Marketplace or the North End, stroll into Chinatown for Dim Sum and then explore the nearby Theatre District, world cup tickets or take the subway to, perhaps, Beacon Hill (Red Line/Charles-MGH) for a day of exploring the antique shops and galleries in Beacon Hill.
If you need to go to the airport world cup tickets later, pick up your bags at South Station and call a Boston water taxi for pick up at the InterContinental Hotel (Stop 13) just a couple of minutes' walk from South Station. The trip to the airport will be 10 minutes or less, and the fare will be $10-20. (Check here for tips about Logan Airport baggage storage.)
If you're arriving at Boston Logan Airport on the day of your cruise embarkation or leaving from Logan later in the day after your cruise returns to Boston, the easiest way to find a berth for your bags is to take a water taxi to Downtown Boston - specifically, take the Rowes Wharf Water Taxi to their terminal next to the Boston Harbor Hotel on Rowes Wharf, where they offer baggage storage in a locked room to their passengers.
The Rowes Wharf Water Taxi ride to and from Logan International Airport takes only about 7-10 minutes. Fare from the Black Falcon Terminal will run you $20, plus another $10 to or from the airport - but the luggage storage is free.
The Rowes Wharf Terminal is on Boston's Harborwalk, which you can walk along to explore the waterfront. Alternately, head over to Historic Downtown Boston, just a few blocks away, where you can walk along the Freedom Trail for more sightseeing.
Do you have road warrior status with any of the big hotel chains? If neither of the other luggage storage world cup tickets options work for you, a third possibility is find out how much you're valued as a frequent guest by seeing if you can store your bags with them for the day.
