Bar Harbor Maine Cruise Port - From Tenders to Town - Your Essential Guide!

We disembarked from our Princess Cruise to Bar Harbor, Maine for a day of exploring in a rental car from Acadia Gem Rentals to Acadia National Park. Cadilliac Mountain was an amazing highlight, especially in fall colors! But the town had lots to offer! The Abbe Museum, Island Explorer, Oli’s Trolly and delicious Maine lobster were some of the basics we covered. Here’s your need-to-know basic guide, with highlights thrown in! Let us help your independent cruise travel!

The Port Lowdown offers detailed and fun video guides for cruise ports and destinations, helping independent, budget-minded travelers save time and money. We found that many videos lack the details we needed, such as parking, restrooms, available services, and even sidewalk quality. We act as your “port scout”, providing first-hand reports on essential information that others overlook; our videos cover port terminals, independent excursions, goods, services, transportation and even ship tours. With time ticking away during your port visit, we understand the importance of sound planning to make every moment count. Let us give you the Lowdown!

Thanks for the great detail on these ports.

[@ThePortLowdown]

You're welcome! I'll keep making more!

Looks like a beautiful place. I definitely won't be going there anytime soon. Since they're limiting the size of cruise ships and consumers to the area, I have NO DESIRE to visit. I understand why, just no desire to visit. I'll get my lobster somewhere else

[@ThePortLowdown]

Gotta say, we agree. The lobster is VERY expensive. I knew about the issue with the passenger cap, but chose to just focus on basic info. I have another cruise coming up with this port, so I'll find out if the experience is drastically different.

please please please...pronounce ACADIA Park correctly in the future...it is NOT ARCadia! Other than that, the video was great!

[@ThePortLowdown]

Will do and noted. Thank you!
