Bar Harbor, Maine




We got up and headed to breakfast.  After breakfast, we all had to go through US Immigration.  They called us by deck and those on the morning tours went first.  All you had to do was collect your passport and then show it to an officer who welcomed you back to the USA.  Painless.

We then went up to the pool to do our exercises.  The water was hot.  It was really too hot but we hung in there and did 45 minutes and then to the hot tub.  The water in the pool is salt and so it is nice to get that off you by the hot tub.  I would use the shower but that water is freezing.


Downtown Bar Harbor.


 A view of this beautiful area.

We changed and got ready to tender into town.  When the tender we were to take came ship side, they off loaded about 12 large boxes of lobsters.  I guess we are having lobster for dinner, at least I hope so.
We took to the tender into town and walked about.  Stopped at a Rite Aid for some supplies and then continued walking for about one hour.  Since we think we are having lobster for dinner, we skipped trying to find some to eat in Bar Harbor and headed back to our ship for lunch.


Our wonderful tender.


Our ship at anchor.

While we were walking, we met up with a couple who are on the Crystal Symphony that we met in Montreal.  They are from California.  Bob is amazed I can remember faces like I do.  Names not so much.

Had a nice lunch and then back to the cabin for our nap.  Now catching up with the blog while Bob does the pictures.  Tonight we have the party for the gold, etc.  This we will attend.

Last night we went up to the Galileo Lounge and Bob had to go up to the bar to get service.  This is not what we are used to.  Then to dinner in Compass Rose where we were given a nice table for two but not by the window.  We said that was fine, it is dark out so what can you see anyway.   For dinner I had sea bass that was very similar to the sea bass we had on the Riveria in Red Ginger.  It was wonderful.  Wrapped in a banana leaf.

After dinner we returned to the cabin and watched "The Heat".  Funny but not great.  Lights out.
