Embarking at Boston around noon-ish went very smooth and fast with sunny skies and a temp near 80. A bite at Windjammer and then cabins were opened around 1:00. Performers around the pool deck as we left the harbor (with the NFL game of the week on the big screen). Giovannti's Table for the first night with our friendly server Luiz then off to the 7:15 welcome aboard show at the theater.

Day two a quick tender to Bar Harbor for the Acadia Park loop and lobster bake. Beautiful scenery, sunny and 70's then the luncheon on a full lobster with mussels and potatoes. It was delicious and local craft beer was available for purchase. Trinket shopping on the main street is a must. Night two was formal night at the main dining room with Zhelyu and Oksana giving us great service with a warm and fun personality then off to another show.

Day three in Portland, again Sunny and in the 70's. We did (on our own) the Portland Discovery Trolley and Portland Head Lighthouse. Our driver Gary was knowledgeable, entertaining, and above all safe as we explored back roads of the Portland area. Dinner at Windjammers gave a good variety and was as good as most buffets. Read more
