shipgeeks Posted March 31, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Portland is a city, Bar Harbor is a park with a tiny town. Personally, I love Portland and don't get the appeal of Bar Harbor. But many people do enjoy both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted April 1, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Bar Harbor is the gateway to Acadia National Park, which is glorious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipgeeks Posted April 2, 2022 #5 Share Posted April 2, 2022 gikdrdogs, You might also find it useful to scan through this section of CC, for posts that ask about the potential ports you are considering. I know there have been discussions of Portland and Bar Harbor over the past few years; there might be posts on the other ports, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stopped there 5 times and never had problems. Weather of course can vary. Cold, rain, fog etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, Marine Traffic showed an NCL ship in the harbor on the day we missed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
