Boston - How to DIY a budget cruise port visit

During our Princess cruise in 2023 we explored Boston on our own and had a great day without the cost of an expensive shore excursion. This video is the first in a series we are putting together for people who like to explore ports on their own, stick to a budget and take things at their own pace. We have included what things cost us and how much we got to do in our one day port stop in Boston. We hope you enjoy watching and get some ideas for your own visit to Boston.

We pretty much do what you do, we book a lot on our own, but in some countries or ports, we stick to cruise ship excursions or just stay around the port area.
