  • We are in Bar Harbor, Maine for the day... it is our last port on our Bermuda cruise on the Norwegian Pearl and we are excited for some lobstah!!! We were in Maine in the fall and fell in love with the food! Fresh caught lobster just can't be beat and we are in search of lobster rolls today!
    Not only is the food great here, but Bar Harbor is the cutest little town. Just get out and take a walk and discover all of the little nooks and crannies! What a great port day and the perfect ending to this cruise!

    Bar harbor is great but you really need to go back sometime with your rv and drive thru Acadia national park, it's beautiful and you will love it.

      Agree Acadia is a can't miss attraction.

    As a Vermonter, I can honestly say that port is special. I try to get to the Maine coast every year! Glad you enjoyed it!

    Downeast Cider is out of East Boston, we love unfiltered ciders as well as unfiltered (hazy) IPA’s here in New England. Also, a hot lobster roll is made w/ butter, a cold lobster roll uses mayonnaise. Neither should have corn lol

    My mom said if people had lobster at home they would close the blinds so no one knew they were eating it.

    Loved your commentary on the port. I was just looking at the options for excursions for our October cruise and they were not too exciting and very expensive. Now I'm happy to wander the town just as you did. Thank you!🙂

    @jenniferrichardson3733 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I've been watching your videos for so long and was excited to see you were coming to Bar Harbor! I live downtown and couldn't wait to see what you thought of our little town. Geddy's should be closed down for putting corn in their lobster roll! Lobster rolls should be eaten with only melted butter on a bun. ;-) Hope you return with your new, smaller camper and really explore the area, there is so much more to see and do.

    Ah yes, my home town 💜. Watching this is giving me nostalgia and making me wish I returned to work for the summer. Next summer for sure though!
    I just need to act much faster next time as housing is tragically scarce up there.

    On the third Norwegian ship cruise out of Boston and it was so cold in Bar Harbor it was unbelievable. Our son and his friend met some other people and went over and had dinner I’m shocked. Glad you had fun we’re going back again the end of July

    I live in Maine for 53 years. So glad you got to enjoy our little town of bar harbor. We usually stay right on the water side every year for at least three nights. But yes you should definitely come back and do Acadia national Park and then go up to Mount kadillac.

    Guys, us locals in my area in MA call the first lobster roll with Mayo, celery and corn-lobster salad roll. When we get the plain one like your 2nd, call it a naked lobster roll. But that’s in my area. Loved your visit. Thanks

    • @wickedmainah950
      @wickedmainah950 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, lobster rolls should only have a little mayo or butter, anything else is just crap.

    Hi guys! Particularly enjoyed this series. You may not recall, but I asked you guys about Bermuda, and the fact that no travel vloggers had covered it. Ironically, I broke (with family) my cruising virginity on the Mediterranean in 2019, on the Norwegian Pearl. Great memories, thank you both 😊.

  • @larryrobinson1256
    @larryrobinson1256 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Glad you like our area of the country. Our kids live in Portland, so we are in Maine a lot. The best lobster roll in Maine is Reds Eats, Wiscasset ME.A close second is Bailey's lobster pound , Pine Point in Scarborough, ME.

  • @caseybowden2071
    @caseybowden2071 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    So glad you hit the Thirsty Whale for the chowdah! Definitely the best on the island, for sure! I am lucky to live in this beautiful place and have worked as a Skin and massage therapist at the Bar Harbor Club for the past 10 years on property of Harborside Hotel and Marina, sitting right in front is the sandbar! Next time you come visit and stay in the park, treat yourselves to a relaxing spa day with us after a few days of exploring our beautiful hiking trails! I love seeing your adventures! Stay adventurous and keep doing all the cool shit! 😎

    You were lucky that you were able to go to Bar Harbor. I was on the Silversea Silver Cloud last month, and we were supposed to go to Bar Harbor on May 13. But at the end of April we were informed that our ship was denied entry because of covid-19 concerns. We went to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia instead, which was a good alternative.

    Good episode, Maine is great. We have gone sailing on Penobscot Bay out of Camden, it seems everyone does their lobster rolls just a bit different from each other. The lobster pot buoys are so plentiful it looks like popcorn on the water. You missed some shops being open; but, I bet you avoided some large crowds.

    I love Bar Harbor. My sister has a house there and I love going to see her in the summer. Haven't been able to do that the last two years because we have been workamping in Montana, but she sends me pics of what she's doing so I can share in the fun. Geddy's has good clam chowder and I have walked Shore Path many a time during the day and at night... absolutely beautiful during a full moon. We love the "Yellow Umbrellas" as we call it (Bar Harbor Inn) for dinner and drinks outside. Brings back such wonderful memories. Hope you do get to go again to do Acadia. One of God's many miracles of creation. Looking forward to your next adventure.

    Now I don't eat clam chowder but I do like corn chowder, generally with chicken. As far as I'm concerned if it's not thick then it's not chowder. If it's liquidy then people better be calling that soup and not chowder. That was a fine looking chowder you had there!

      @susanmotschman4396 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      They are doing Bar Harbor for several reasons. One is that the Customs is so much easier there than in Boston. Was on this cruise May 13-20. I have done this cruise (minus Bar Harbor) many times, but this time disembarkation was unbelievably fast. By 8 :30 a.m. we were already on the highway heading back to Vermont.

    So many great lobster rolls in maine . Bar harbor is a tourist town , pretty but prepare to pay big for average seafood. I just saw on the news places are getting 40 bucks for them. You can buy live lobsters for 5 or 6 bucks a pound.
