canuck eh?

For anyone who just likes some quiet, sit-and-watch-the-boats-come-in time...

 

You can walk out of the Cruise Terminal and turn right. Stay near the shoreline, and pretty quickly, you'll come upon the "Eastern Promenade Trail," which is a multi-use paved (and crushed rock) trail for biking, hiking, rollerblading, etc. Follow the trail, and soon it will head to your left and climb a hill. Portland Harbor will be on your right, and the Eastern Promenade Park will be on your left. Grab a bench and hang out. Or bring a kite along and fly a kite. If you walk through the park toward the city, you'll come upon the "Eastern Promenade" (road). If you cross the road and follow Congress St. a couple of blocks, you'll find the Portland Observatory, which you may be able to go up (for a fee).

 

Those are some options for a quieter day in Portland! :)

Thanks so much - sounds like a plan.

jtwitch - thanks for all the info. Will check it out.

Arpie05 - thanks for your info. do you take a cab to the boardwalk? I have never been to a boardwalk like this and always thought it would be fun.

Thanks everyone for all the replies. The Desert Maine looks like it might be fun. And yes, WooHoo and Woop Woop!

We will be in Portland from 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Have never been there and would like some suggestions. We are open to all suggestions. Thanks so much.

This was taken in Jamaica.

thanks so much for the review. Was thinking about doing this on the Glory this June but you have just made up my mind.

Thanks so much for the review and beautiful pics. We are going in Jan. and can't wait now.

My daughter was married at Lindquist Beach this past Jan. She was married at 2:00 and the ship left at 6:00. It was a Tues. and was not crowded. Her wedding planner was Janelle. Janelle and Stewart were awesome. We had booked Sunny Liston to get us to the beach. Awesome also. Have fun!
