Hi All! I know it’s been a few weeks. We have one more week left here in Bar Harbor and I have loved every minute of it! I just wanted to address some annoyances that I have had over the last month or two. Cruise ship passengers…
If you are going to be on a cruise ship and you are porting in Bar Harbor, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do your research before arriving! Bar Harbor is just a small town on a small island. There is only one road that can get you on and off the island. There are NO UBER or LYFT drivers here. The “taxis” only do private tours on days when cruise ships are in that are made in advance. And before you go online and rent a car from the airport that is 17 miles from the port, DO NOT DO IT. There is no way for you to get to that airport, so you are just wasting your money.
If you want to go on a tour, look and book BEFORE you leave. I cannot tell you how many times passengers get off the ship and are dumbfounded that all the tours are fully booked. I really need a sign that says, poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part. I also want to ask if they realize that they are on a ship with 2000-4000 other people.
I do love my job, I do. I finally feel like this is where I was meant to be. I love talking to tourists and helping them have a better vacation. I learn a lot from talking with people from all over. We will be back here for the 2024 season. We put our deposit down for our campsite already.
Next weekend we will be leaving and headed to Connecticut for a night, then off to PA for a couple weeks to cut ties with our storage unit and visit family. I will post about our travels soon.
Also, we got stickers made!
~Happy Travels!
