Here is an article that came out yesterday. My guess any ship over 1,000 pax no bueno. But who knows. More to come on Monday, March 4. https://www.cruisehive.com/bar-harbor-gets-approval-to-radically-limit-cruise-ship-passengers/124962

We are booked on NCL Gem the first cruise in Bar Harbor for the 2024 season. (May 2). Prior to Bar Harbor we will be in Bermuda. I purposely didn’t plan anything in case this happened. Now we are just waiting to hear if it’s going to be an extra sea day or if they will change the port. I’m kind of bummed about it but understand. I haven't been since I was a teenager and my husband never has. I was looking forward to visiting Acadia NP. I guess that will mean a future land trip.

We are on the repositioning cruise leaving Monday. I certainly hope that the performers weren’t injured too badly. Hopefully they are going to be okay for our sailing. Otherwise it’s going to be a long 12 days of not much entertainment. I guess that will mean the bars will stay extra busy! Which may bring some unexpected entertainment! Lol

Thanks so much for your quick response! I kind of figured that but thought I would ask. :)

We will be going on NCL's Joy in October. We have never cruised out of NYC before. The itinerary begins in NYC and ends in Miami. We are looking at renting a car and driving to NYC. (probably flying home from Miami, but we may drive and stop along the way) I noticed there are several national car rental agencies near the port. Do any of them have a shuttle to the pier or will we have to take an Uber/taxi? I've looked at their websites but I don't see if this is possible.
