Bar Harbor Maine.


What an amazing little town.

We dropped anchor in the Bay because The Dock is small and cannot handle a ship like the Maasdam. But no worries, we all had to take tenders into town. I like the tenders, especially when you have a great driver and good crew to help you along. And we did. The only hick-up is that you had to go to a lounge and get a tender ticket and sit there and wait for your number to be called. So if your ever in a situation where you have to take a tender, go early.

Well Bar Harbor is a great little town, with a bunch of shops and small eateries. The Lobster is amazing. My wife told me because I do not eat it.

You can also take a few tours while in town. We took an open air trolley tour of the town. Our guide was real good. One of those tours guides who loves to get up in the morning and do his job. He took us all the way up to the top of a mountain and the views from up there were amazing.

You also have to see the tides. In the morning the tide is low, but at high tide, the water level raises 10-12 feet. There is this small island out in the bay that you can walk to, but do not stay to long or else you swimming back.

So if your going to be cruising to Bar Harbor, do your homework. You might be able to save quite a bit of money doing the excursions on shore rather than with the cruise ship. But watch that clock or you might miss the last tender at 4:30 :)

Overall, Bar Harbor Maine was a highlight on our trip.

Happy Travels.
