Boston T for visitors and areas to skip David, RW Yesterday at 11:27 AM
I’m putting together a Boston plan and expect to use the MBTA a lot mostly Green/Red/Orange to get between Back Bay, Downtown, Cambridge and a couple of evening stops. For someone who doesn’t know the city well, are there any stations or stretches you’d avoid late at night or any lines that feel less comfortable after the crowds thin out? I’m not looking to stereotype neighborhoods, just trying to make smart choices and avoid walking into a sketchy situation by accident. Also, if you have do this instead tips best place to sit which exits feel safer when you switch to a taxi/rideshare, I’d appreciate it.

The more boats for the charter. The better the cruising grounds. I would use that as a seeing eye dog.


Here are some sample itineraries:

Great advice about using the number of boats as an indicator! That makes total sense. More options usually means better quality and variety to choose from. The Dry Tortugas sound amazing too. Thanks for the detailed tips and itinerary examples!

Re: Upcoming Boston and Portland ME trip David, RW 02/02/2026 03:39 PM
If you are staying in Portland, plan on spending time around the Old Port and Commercial Street since it is easy to walk, full of good food, and the waterfront vibe is great. A small rental car also helps if you want a quick coastal drive to places like Cape Elizabeth, and October evenings can feel chilly near the water. For the Boston side, I once used Blue Nile Livery for an early airport pickup and it made the travel day much smoother.

Re: Maho beach SXM Colour1 01/30/2026 10:32 AM
YES!!! "SOME" chairs, not nearly enough for five ships and where can they lay towels down when there are HUNDREDS of people standing??? I'm simply trying to make people aware that although Maho is very exciting beach to be at, there are catches to spending the day!! That's all!!

I have the Tortuga camera on when I'm home. Not nearly enough chairs for the cruise people, so they stand all day!!
