We are in Bar Harbor, Maine for the day... it is our last port on our Bermuda cruise on the Norwegian Pearl and we are excited for some lobstah!!! We were in Maine in the fall and fell in love with the food! Fresh caught lobster just can't be beat and we are in search of lobster rolls today!
Not only is the food great here, but Bar Harbor is the cutest little town. Just get out and take a walk and discover all of the little nooks and crannies! What a great port day and the perfect ending to this cruise!

As a Vermonter, I can honestly say that port is special. I try to get to the Maine coast every year! Glad you enjoyed it!

Bar harbor is great but you really need to go back sometime with your rv and drive thru Acadia national park, it's beautiful and you will love it.

Downeast Cider is out of East Boston, we love unfiltered ciders as well as unfiltered (hazy) IPA’s here in New England. Also, a hot lobster roll is made w/ butter, a cold lobster roll uses mayonnaise. Neither should have corn lol

I've been watching your videos for so long and was excited to see you were coming to Bar Harbor! I live downtown and couldn't wait to see what you thought of our little town. Geddy's should be closed down for putting corn in their lobster roll! Lobster rolls should be eaten with only melted butter on a bun. ;-) Hope you return with your new, smaller camper and really explore the area, there is so much more to see and do.

Stay adventurous and keep doing all the cool shit! 😎

You were lucky that you were able to go to Bar Harbor. I was on the Silversea Silver Cloud last month, and we were supposed to go to Bar Harbor on May 13. But at the end of April we were informed that our ship was denied entry because of covid-19 concerns. We went to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia instead, which was a good alternative.

Good episode, Maine is great. We have gone sailing on Penobscot Bay out of Camden, it seems everyone does their lobster rolls just a bit different from each other. The lobster pot buoys are so plentiful it looks like popcorn on the water. You missed some shops being open; but, I bet you avoided some large crowds.

I love Bar Harbor. My sister has a house there and I love going to see her in the summer. Haven't been able to do that the last two years because we have been workamping in Montana, but she sends me pics of what she's doing so I can share in the fun. Geddy's has good clam chowder and I have walked Shore Path many a time during the day and at night... absolutely beautiful during a full moon. We love the "Yellow Umbrellas" as we call it (Bar Harbor Inn) for dinner and drinks outside. Brings back such wonderful memories. Hope you do get to go again to do Acadia. One of God's many miracles of creation. Looking forward to your next adventure.

Now I don't eat clam chowder but I do like corn chowder, generally with chicken. As far as I'm concerned if it's not thick then it's not chowder. If it's liquidy then people better be calling that soup and not chowder. That was a fine looking chowder you had there!

They are doing Bar Harbor for several reasons. One is that the Customs is so much easier there than in Boston. Was on this cruise May 13-20. I have done this cruise (minus Bar Harbor) many times, but this time disembarkation was unbelievably fast. By 8 :30 a.m. we were already on the highway heading back to Vermont.
