heffy2 265 Posted October 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Good morning from Bar Harbor! Last night there was a lot of ship movement, and some were very worried about not being able to tender today. It was all for naught, as I’m now sitting on a bus waiting to go to Acadia National Park.

heffy2 265 Posted October 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Bar Harbor has been wonderful! I could really see myself living here, even in the winter. We went on an RCI tour, which was the first time I’ve done a ship tour since Alaska in 1998. We went on the Acadia Nation Park/Lobster lunch tour, and it was great. The guide gave us a lot of cool info, and the people on the tour with us were great. I’m currently hanging out at Atlantic Brewing Co while my mom shops.

Just be aware, Bar Harbor in winter is almost a ghost town, with a long drive to get to Portland or even a more modest area like Lewiston/Auburn. And winters can be harsh; I had a job interview there when I was still thinking research was my jam, and ended up in the middle of a near-blizzard on the drive from airport to hotel. If that sort of scene is still to your liking, it can be a great place to live; by all accounts the locals are very friendly with everyone who moves there and it's a great community.

We booked the Island Experience instead. This is one of the ports that we are most excited for, mainly because it is very different from what we are used to. heffy2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heffy2 265 Posted October 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 It was a really nice tour, and the history of Bar Harbor and Acadia’s creation was fascinating. Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

heffy2 265 Posted October 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 I’m sitting here in the solarium enjoying breakfast, and the couple sitting next to me is repeating a familiar refrain onboard this morning. There ya a little issue tendering last night in Bar Harbor. A large well developed around 4:30, and tendering had to stop for about an hour and a half. I heard the local tender guys from my balcony saying that there were over 1200 people waiting. Now, the conspiracy theory’s are in full force. The people next to me believe it was Royals fault for not being prepared for the volume of people with walkers and canes!

Vwjo 14 Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 How popular is this sailing? Do you know if it was full capacity? It's on my one of my really need to do someday list. Especially this time of the year♡! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heffy2 265 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 I don’t think this sailing is full, but I’ll have to ask at guest services. The bartenders have been talking about what a slow cruise this is for them, but I haven’t seen a drink card yet. Vwjo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heffy2 265 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Saint Johns yesterday was so great. We took a cab over to reversing falls. We started at the lower park and walked up and across the bridge. Deedeelynn, JohnK6404, ellcee and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
