Rare BirdTravels Posted September 19, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Suites can be escorted to the front of the line by the concierge. Platinum priority only means that you can join the back of the line without a reservation. Only suites go to the front of the line. You still have to wait in line.

casofilia Posted September 19, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Platinum means you don't have to wait in line for tender tickets; you just join the back of the line when you are ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expat Cruise Posted September 19, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 19, 2018 If you are even allowed into Bar Harbor, the city counsel has new rules being processed now that would ban most cruise ships from stopping here. The city counsel wants to limited the port to cruise ships under 500 passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirsty_r Posted September 19, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Feel sorry for the businesses who would be involved if those plans went through. [emoji853] It looks like Bar Harbor is rebuilding an old ferry terminal to allow cruise ship docking though...

Bar Harbor is packed from May to September with tourist without any cruise ships in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expat Cruise Posted September 19, 2018 #11 Share Posted September 19, 2018 It is true Bar Harbor doesn't need the large cruise ships. In many ways that over taxi the area and end up driving away the longer staying tourist. If many ways large cruise ships are like flash floods, far to much and to quick, to provide real long term growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reveur15 Posted September 20, 2018 #12 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Platinum means you don't have to wait in line for tender tickets; you just join the back of the line when you are ready. If you have booked a Ncl shore excursion, Do the group tender together or Do you have to tender by yourself ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted September 20, 2018 #13 Share Posted September 20, 2018 The NCL tour groups will meet in the theatre, normally, and go down in a group to join the "queue" often going a different way to get to the "front" of the "queue". That is for morning trips. For afternoon ones you will make your own way ashore to meet on the quay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the tour. Read you ticket for meeting place. Some meet in the theater which gives you priority access to a tender. Some tell you to meet on shore,,,, where you are on your own to get to shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
