Clearing US Customs & Immigration on Canada/NE Cruise

[Taz]

I'm currently booked on Veendam from Quebec City to Boston on August 31. I presume that we will have to clear US Immigration prior to getting off the ship at the port call in Bar Harbor, ME. Does that take care of the immigration experience for US citizens, or will we still need to go through customs/immigration upon arrival in Boston? I won't be in a hurry to get off the ship when it docks as I have friends picking me up in Boston but will want to give them a reasonable estimate of what time they'll be able to pick me up. Thanks!

Under normal circumstance, Immigration will be cleared at the first port of entry, Bar Harbor, and the Custom will be cleared at Boston.

Yes, for the Maasdam itinerary, Montreal to Boston, that is accurate.
