My son and his girlfriends family went Glamping in Acadia last year over the 4th and had a great time. Town was crowded but it seemed to clear out after the parade

Probably until April of 2025 Lol

Yea, thats not happening. IDK what the other cruises on the Gem out of Boston to Bermuda are doing

Unless you go on a ship with less than 1000 passengers you are not going to Bar Harbor after 2024. I guess NCL is out of Bar Harbor for good. NCL still have Bar Harbor on the 2025 itinerary and they know dam well they are not stopping there I would take a 4th day in Bermuda over Portland in a heartbeat

What burns me is months ago, right after we booked the cruise I went online to the Bar Harbor Harbor info site. It has a bunch of info along with a cruise ship schedule. The Gem was not shown in Bar Harbor on July 4th. I called NCL and they said no, they must have had a typo and NCL had the Gem docking there. I'd like to ring someones neck at NCL. We could have easily picked another date

We have been there before and love. Going with friends who have never been. Already had the little Chevy Bolt booked to explore the park.... oh well

Looks like the harbor is closed for the 4th in Bar Harbor. You would have thought this would have been passed along months ago to NCL. I would have picked another date

June 28th - July 5th sailing..... of course they did it after final payment What I don't understand is the new capacity for Bar Harbor was suppose to take effect in 2025. Cruises there for 2024 were Ok to go since they had signed the agreement in 2023

IDK about that. I've done a number of behind the scenes tour and on the last one someone asked about the different burgers. The head of the kitchen looked bewildered, the woman ask aren't their different hamburgers patties for the buffet, pool deck and Haven. He said no, we have one type of burger and we have thousands of them... who knows, maybe some ships get different patties?

Thet don't weigh your bags at least our bags have never been weighed , I few times my 30 inch bag I used to carry my diving gear is close to 60lbs. I tip the porter accordingly or put the bag on the cart myself at the port

I can't imagine how that would work. The food is cooked in front of people. I don't think they have a separate kitchen for cooking take out

These are really good....... https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/galaxy-desserts-almond-croissants/?pkey=s~croissants~37&sbkey=default

My wife and I also arrive early. Our last 3-4 cruises we have driven to the port. Since I normally leave for work at 6am to miss traffic we do the same thing going to the cruise port. In NYC we try to arrive at 9am. I would rather be sitting in a terminal bored out of my mind than sitting in backed up traffic Lol
