Odyssey Cruises
Jan 1, 2008 by Laura
Overall Rating: 2

• The food was good.
• Music was horrible. Shuttle was disorganized. No real celebration.

“A group of eight of us was aboard the Odyssey for this past New Year's Eve celebration. Although the food was absolutely delicious, the music and entertainment was horrible. When the band would take a break, there wasn't any music to fill in. There could've at least been a DJ so that the dancing could continue. Actually, it'd probably be better if the band never played as it was rare that they would keep the beat. When midnight rolled around, there was not a countdown, nothing to signify the changing of the year. The wait staff was OK, although it was apparent that they did not want to be there. The shuttle to and from the hotel was a joke. The shuttle was parked outside waiting for us, and we did not even know that the guy was there. For the amount of money that we all shelled out for this evening, it should've been more than just a good meal on a boat.”

Berklee College Of Music Inc

• Intensive study of music.
• Intensive study of music.

“This might be an interesting view. I am the mother of a Berklee student who has just started his second year. I can honestly say my son never expected Berklee to be so challenging. He got through the first year by the skin on his teeth. The demands of this school are much greater than he expected. Nevertheless he wanted to return and will work harder than ever to do better. This school is extremely intense. He is determined to graduate and is more focused than ever. I believe it is very hard for 18 years old to move away from home, live in a dorm room with two other people and have such a demanding schedule. It was quite a lot for him that first year. Yet, as I wrote previously, he has returned with more gusto than ever and wants to earn a degree from this truly amazing school. (Oh, yeah, Moms and Dads this is very expensive so make sure your child wants this more than anything else in the whole world!). Good luck to all!”

• The kitchen was very interesting.
• The gift shop was inadequate, just a showcase of point and buy.

“A Boston must-see!!! I took my elementary age children there and we had a nice self-guided tour. We were very surprised to learn that it is air-conditioned throughout and that the rooms are so large!! We especially enjoyed the exhibits in the glass wall casings, showing many colonial artifacts. The staff was knowledgeable and accessible. Walking to the house is highly recommended, as parking nearby would be impossible. We walked through the North End brick streets from Fanuil Hall, smelling the aroma of all the Italian neighborhood restaurants. It was a wonderful cultural and historic day!!”

Boston Harbor Cruises

Overall Rating: 10

• I loved being able to say that I have stood in the footsteps of famous actors/actresses.
• There was nothing negative about this tour. It is wonderful.

“Boston Movie Tours was truly a wonderful experience. It was a beautiful break from seeing all the historic sights of Boston and instead being immersed in the Pop culture of Boston. It was an interactive learning experience. I had no idea how many fabulous movies and TV shows used Boston as their backdrop, like Ally McNeal, A Civil Action, Good Will Hunting and even a season of MTV's Real World! The tour guides were knowledgeable and energetic and the walk was gorgeous. The tour was not only able to showcase the movies that were filmed in Boston but also showcased the beautiful scenery of Beacon Hill (where the tour takes place). On the tour you not only learned about the movies that were already filmed in Boston, but also the inside scoop on movies that have not come out yet and where the celebrity hot spots are. Everyone that comes to Boston should experience the "Boston Movie Mile". It is so much fun and a completely different tour then anything else offered in Boston! It is absolutely exceptional!”

• Very knowledge about the city.
• Driving in Boston was scary at best but I guess that is how you need to get around.

“We had a great time and the day was great and we learned a lot.”
