This is the busiest part of the cruise season for ports in the Northeast. Today is a "triple play" day for Boston with three large ships in port.
Crown Princess, Norwegian Spirit and Veendam are all in port today, and all three are set to leave about 4:30pm.
There will be two more "triple plays," as the port calls them, in the next week. Carnival Victory, Norwegian Majesty and QM2 will all be in port on September 30. It will then happen again on October 5 when Explorer of the Seas, Norwegian Dawn and Saga Ruby are all in Boston.
Ship locations and suggested sites for viewing the ships are noted on The Boston Channel.
