Bar Harbor Maine Ends one of Our Best Cruises Ever | Day 7 Vlog Volendam

[@lisaanderson8235]

I'm SO JEALOUS that you got to see the LL Bean Boot Mobile in person! 😁 It doesn't get more Maine than that. ❤️

[@CruisingCanucks]

It was a neat surprise to walk up on.

[@tobywinter1]

As someone from a Maine family I can confirm that your spelling of Baa Haa Baa is phonetically absolutely correct.

[@CruisingCanucks]

Thanks

[@Desjardins50]

So happy you have discovered the true Holland America. And you lucked out with weather.

[@CruisingCanucks]

It was a phenomenal cruise!

[@GeorgiaGirl100]

So sad as I will be doing the 10 day version of this cruise in a few weeks and they already canceled Bar Harbor port. Looked like a beautiful town to visit. Thanks for your videos.

[@CruisingCanucks]

Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Have a great cruise.🛳

[@liliherndz5792]

Want to express 🕊 You two are so humble, sweet, kind & always CALM ..great for the daily SOUL 🕯JOURNEY HUGE ELEC HUG for you BOTH 🫶🏻🫠🫶🏻..

[@CruisingCanucks]

Thank you 🥰

[@MeandMyManlyMan]

We enjoyed going along on your cruise. Ready for the next one!! 😄

[@CruisingCanucks]

Yay! Thank you! we are too!

[@etwpg]

Thanks for giving us a glimpse of Bar Harbor. We were supposed to stop there at the end of October on the Enchanted, but it got changed to Portland. Guess our ship is too big. One day, we hope to get on the Volendam.

[@CruisingCanucks]

It seems that they are really restricting the amount of people that they are accepting. It is a very popular little spot.

[@GeorgiaGirl100]

Volendam wont be going back to Bar Harbor. Changed to Portalnd. No more Key West and a bunch of others all canceled or changed. Boo!

[@GeorgiaGirl100]

I am gonna eat just like Mrs Canuck. Yum!

[@mizsuzee]

We did the Oli's Trolley tour all around Acadia National Park. It was SO worth it!! Especially up to the top of Cadillac Mountain! What a view!

[@CruisingCanucks]

Thanks for sharing. Hopefully we can do it next time.

[@NickCADA]

Maine looks lovely. One state i’m yet to visit. I’m sure i’ll visit this lovely state someday.

[@CruisingCanucks]

It was the first time for us and we thought it was beautiful.

[@ericericson3535]

Oh No! Mr. Canuck, if it isn't the mystery of the Missing Medallions, it's the attack of the Nefarious Nachos! Every cruise is an adventure. Always a pleasure to travel with you two! Can't wait for the next adventure!

[@CruisingCanucks]

Lol 😂 Thanks you

[@Ebush3206]

First, that Clothesline Bacon is amazing! I got one on our last cruise while my husband chose the wedge salad. One of the best pictures I took was of that bacon and my husband looking pretty sorrowful with his wedge salad.🤣 Second, we are off in October for a Canada/New England Cruisetour. We start in Boston, get off the ship in Quebec City then board a motor coach for five days stopping at 4 cities. We end up in Toronto. We enjoyed your videos as a bit of a prep. While it is a more expensive season, we don't get to see fall colors in San Diego. 😉

[@CruisingCanucks]

It will be a beautiful time of year to this cruise itinerary. Thanks for watching this series. Have a fabulous cruise.🛳

[@PattyP23]

Ahh, the end of a great cruise vlog. It was awesome enjoying the experience of each port through your point of view. I must admit that the Thirsty Whale tavern was calling me for a beer and lobster roll on a patio in nice weather that I think you were very fortunate to have experienced the whole cruise. Thanks, see you soon in SSM and cheers.

[@CruisingCanucks]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was an amazing cruise.🛳

[@Louis-x9q]

Just came back from the Volendam on the reverse itinerary. Loved it even though we didn’t have great weather

[@CruisingCanucks]

Glad to hear that you enjoyed it as much as we did!🛳

[@robcapel9825]

I did the same cruise in May 2024 and June 2019 in the reverse order. Visiting Acadia National Park was the highlight of my cruise port stops. I rented a Pedego electric bicycle both times. The first time I rode the park loop road and this trip rode on the carriage roads. It was amazing biking by the ocean. I hope that you will get a chance to visit Acadia NP in the future.

[@CruisingCanucks]

Seeing it via bicycle sounds great. We will have to keep that in mind. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@peggy2429]

Nice that the hot tubs were hot. Our last two HAL cruises they were not hot, disappointing

[@CruisingCanucks]

When we were on MSC the hot tubs were cold. When we got out of them we were freezing.

[@maryf2685]

I love watching your vlogs. They are always informative and fun. We will be on a NE/Canada cruise next month so it was great learning about some of the ports we will be visiting. Playing Journey to the Secret Word is fun even if I don't win. I do tend to have to watch each vlog more than once as I get engrossed in what you are doing and miss the letter.

[@CruisingCanucks]

Thank you for playing along and all of your support.

[@richardg8651]

Great video. I enjoyed one of 2 cruises on the Veendam (even smaller) that mirrored yours. We loved it and HAL. I also love that you don't ignore $ issues when cruising. Value matters and most vloggers ignore this.

[@CruisingCanucks]

Glad you enjoyed it! We cruise as frequently as our budget allows therefore it make sense to us to share the what the cost are along the journey. We are constantly looking for the cruise deal that aligns with where and what we want to do.

[@cshipley2]

Sssshhhhhhh we need to keep Holland America cruises a secret. We love them too but worried they will start getting crowded as people discover them Thanks for your great vlogging!

[@CruisingCanucks]

Lol. Thanks for watching.

Very nice First Nations museum across from park in BH. Enjoying your trip videos

[@CruisingCanucks]

Many thanks

[@christineainslie4239]

Baa Haa Baa is such a pretty little town. Happy to see you had lovely sunshine 🌞 🌞! Last time we were there it started out OK, but then poured rain, certainly put a damper on exploring. Loved the look of Mr Canuck's nachos-Yum! Your dinner in Pinnacle Grill had me drooling, all of Mrs Canuck's choices were spot on. I also really enjoyed hearing the singer in the Ocean Bar, she was excellent. Well that's a wrap. Curious to see how your Cunard cruise goes. Give Bruno a hug! Cheers from London, Ontario

[@CruisingCanucks]

Thank you for watching the whole series. We are so excited to be preparing for our Cunard cruise that is happening in the coming weeks.

[@christineainslie4239]

@@CruisingCanucks It's always exciting when you have a cruise on the books, something to look forward to and get excited about. We are impatiently waiting for November for our 14 day Zuiderdam cruise ending in Fort Lauderdale, where we will hop on the Sun Princess to experience her for 7 days! That being said, our month long stay in St John's Nfld is just around the corner now and we are beyond excited to explore her. Wishing you fair winds and following seas.

Loved these more than ever, as we returned a week ago from a cruise to Iceland on Fred Olsen Bolette which used to be HA Amsterdam , so seeing your cruise on an identical ship is strange but kind of cool too.

[@CruisingCanucks]

Very cool. It definitely makes us want to try Bolette now.

cheaper to rent the golf carts that you can drive from the port through Acadia Park and all through town. My sister and I did it for $120 for 4 hours

We rented a Gem and visited Acadia on our Bar Harbor Day- well worth it!

[@BCYvonneEd]

From the NCL Breakaway, we went on a small group bus tour up into Acadia Park and the fog lifted for us just in time for a view from the top, but the port was so crowded, we were late getting started and back again and sadly, had no time to walk around town before the last tender of the day. Will have to get there on a smaller ship some day soon! Really enjoyed this vlog series as it brought back memories of Quebec City and our cruise port stop in Halifax and Bar Harbor, not to mention the Pinnacle Grill clothesline bacon on the Rotterdam. Yum!

[@CruisingCanucks]

Very nice.

[@CruisingCanucks]

It is a beautiful little town. We really enjoyed just walking around and taking it all in.

[@briancook1935]

You guys should go on a cruise to Hawaii. I bet that would be fun ,we're going in September.

[@CruisingCanucks]

Hawaii has been on our wish list for awhile now. Hopefully we are able to do it at some point.🛳

[@tonylarussa4046]

We were supposed to stop at Bar Harbor on our cruise but for some reason we stopped at Portland. No biggie, it was a lovely town nonetheless!!

[@CruisingCanucks]

If you were on a ship with more than 1000 people then Bar Harbor wouldn’t allow you ship. That is why most ships are now going to Portland.

[@harlanabraham7772]

Bar Harbor is a nice place. It is also one of the places that are now placing restrictions on cruise ships both the size and number beginning next year. Bar Harbor is a nice town to walk through. Baa Haabor. Those are small ships that go up by where you live. My wife was interested once until she learned there was no casino onboard. Never been to that part of town. Ah, the L.L.Bean store. That Tavern must be new. Don't like the restaurants that cater to tourists. Went to Acadia Park once. You didn't seem to be on shore long. You should have walked more in town. Like to purchase Blueberry tea, and Blueberry jelly. They have a few ice cream places that make their own ice cream. I also like to purchase Made in Maine Mustard too. Guacamole is good. Don't think pudding goes with what you ate. What, no Hot Tub? Would prefer Prosecco. Ate at the Pinnacle Grill on the Veendam. The bread goes good with Olive Oil. My wife liked both desserts. Seems like you had a nice cruise on the Volendam. Already subscribed and did hit the like button.

[@tammiloberg7670]

Wonderful series as usual, thanks for sharing… going to check this itinerary out! What was the brand of Mr. Canuck’s shirts? Do you have a link? Mrs. C, loved both dresses you had on this day!

[@CruisingCanucks]

The shirts brand that Mr.Canuck was wearing is called FIOBOC.

[@rjforz6956]

Informative videos. We just got off the Volendam today in Montreal. The staff was excellent. The food was marginal at best. The entertainment horrible and the destinations just ok. Sydney wasn’t great and Charlottetown was just ok.

[@CruisingCanucks]

We were so excited about the ports and eastern Canadian flair for entertainment that we booked to do a similar cruise again this fall. Sadly, your was the last cruise for the Ocean Bar singer - hopefully they can replace her with someone just as talented.

[@rjforz6956]

We will pass on the Volendam. It just wasn’t an outstanding experience.

[@anne-marievr5710]

I have lived in Toronto all my life and have never been to the East Coast. I need to remedy that. Could you please tell me the brand of the t-shirt that Mr. Canuck likes? Thank you

@@CruisingCanucks We are excited about the cruise. It will be our first experience on Regent and have heard great things about this luxury brand to include this fairly new ship. Our travel agent presented this one to us at a very deeply discounted price (even though it is still more than we normally pay) but thought it would be worth a try. Everything is included and all excursions as well, so I think it will be interesting to see if we want to keep pursuing these higher-end cruises when our agent gets the deals. I will keep you posted on our experience and wonder if you have had any experience with Regent.
