I booked in September of 2021 for a Rhine River Cruise in March of 2022 for my family of 7. Due to COVID19 in early 2022, it was recommended by Jayne to postpone the trip until April of 2023. I did, and she told me that I would once again be booked on a Viking Cruise with both Pre- and Post-extensions. I got a complete run around from Jayne until 2 weeks before our Cruise was to leave. The itinerary was emailed, and it was not a Viking Cruise; also, there were no pre- or post-extensions. Jayne didn't even have the decency to let us know any of these changes verbally. We had to read that we were leaving a day early! The cruise line was not comparable to Viking Cruises; we received none of the cultural events on board, and we did not have the time to explore the ports every afternoon as promised; our cruise line sailed in the afternoons. It was a true Bait and Switch, and it was hugely disappointing that we did not get the agenda that we had been promised. I would not recommend making any kind of trip plans with this travel agency. Jayne would tell me that she was available 24/7, but I found that she was radio silent when I had questions and true concerns.

What a farce! We were quoted a price and agreed to it, then because of their incompetence, (they did not make the booking promptly) the price increased by $600!! We were traveling with a group, and didn't want to miss out, so forked it over. Got a "Bummer for your bad luck" response, and not a nickel onboard comp. There are much better deals, and certainly much better customer service, out there. I would not recommend this biz AT ALL.

What to do on July 4th in Boston: living history, fireworks, and outdoor fun

L et the celebrations begin — the most patriotic day of the year happens this week and what better way to spend it than in one of the nation’s most historic cities ? The Fourth of July is packed full of festivities in Greater Boston, from walking tours and live performances to good eats and, of course, fireworks . Here’s our ultimate guide to enjoying Independence Day this year.

LIBATIONS, LIBERTY, AND LANDMARKS

The city plays host to festivities leading up to the holiday with the annual Boston Harborfest , which offers a multitude of activities and celebratory experiences. The series begins Monday and runs through Independence Day, with most events taking place downtown; most are free and open to the public, but some require a ticket fee. Take a historical tour, watch a reenactment, cool down at a beer garden, or grab a bite at the Chowder Festival ; the festival ensures the city’s spirits are up in time for the Fourth. Find a full schedule and locations at bostonharborfest.com/schedule.

STEEP IN HISTORY

For history buffs hoping to transport their celebrations back to the heart of the Revolution, several educational and patriotic events will pop up on the Fourth. Relive history with a live reading of the Declaration of Independence outside the Old State House — just as patriots first did in 1776 . On the Fourth at 10 a.m., the Captain Commanding of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts will recite the full document from the balcony of the historic building for this annual Boston tradition. A gathering for a communal reading of Frederick Douglass’s “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” will take place on the Steps at Downtown Crossing starting at 1:30 p.m. The speech — first delivered by the famed abolitionist and orator in 1852 — will be read against a backdrop of African drums, dance, and gospel music, followed by a free ice cream social. Walk and talk history with guided “Footloose on the Freedom Trail” walking tours from Boston by Foot. The 3.5-mile excursion stops at 16 historical sites, starting by the State House and ending at the Charlestown Navy Yard, with multiple times throughout the morning. Tickets start at $15 and can be reserved at bostonbyfoot.org .

FIREWORKS, OBVIOUSLY

You can’t celebrate the Fourth without fireworks, or in Boston’s case, a renowned symphony orchestra performance featuring special appearances from world-famous singers. Known as the city’s biggest Fourth of July celebration, the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular returns to the Hatch Memorial Shell on the Esplanade for its 50th anniversary. This year, Pops conductor Keith Lockhart will be joined by these special guests: Tony-winning Broadway star and headliner Kelli O’Hara , Grammy-winning soul singer Darlene Love , multi-award-winning country rockers the Mavericks , and the US Air Force Band’s Singing Sergeants . The free, public concert kicks off at 8 p.m., and the sparkling sky show can be seen along the banks of Charles River, starting at 10:30 p.m. For more information, visit bso.org.

NO BACKYARD, NO PROBLEM

City living doesn’t have to mean giving up beloved backyard Independence Day traditions. Boston has creative ways of bringing back those nostalgic feelings and experiences, sparklers not included. Grab your picnic blanket and head to the Lawn on D where you can pick up a game of cornhole or Pickleball and lounge in oversize Adirondack chairs while admiring the green, green turf. Shareable snacks and alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase via concessions and don’t forget to check out the solar-powered LED swings, which change color when swung at varying speeds and heights. To get out on the water on the Fourth, you have a few options, including a dinner cruise with Boston Harbor City Cruises and a mid-morning trip to the USS Constitution with the Charles River Boat Company . (Ticket prices vary, visit cityexperiences.com and charlesriverboat.com for details.) For those without sea legs, the Tall Ship Boston in Eastie will offer a nautical experience aboard a 240-foot boat docked in Boston Harbor. Yes, food, drink, and lawn games, too.

A FEAST FOR THE FOURTH

It wouldn’t be the Fourth of July without the sizzle of the grill. On Wednesday and Thursday, City Tap House in the Seaport is offering a special Backyard BeerBQ menu featuring Freedom Franks, Liberty Lemonade cocktails, and Red White & BBQ rib plates. Across the way at Short Path Distillery in Everett , you can pledge allegiance to red, white, and blue-berry treats, like boozy freezer pops and Fourth-themed flights of cocktails. And Vialé will sling Southern classics in Central Square. Load up on nosh like fried chicken, shrimp ‘n’ grits, and banana pudding while you can — the Cambridge restaurant’s annual “tradish” is only available from 5-8 p.m. on the Fourth.
