Thats a ship specific question-- some (mainly newer) ships can accommodate but many (mainly older or smaller ones) cannot or at least without some stairs. If you share the ship we might be able to offer some insight if someone has been on it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(we have tendered off other ships in Caribbean & Hawaii with no issues) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mets123 Posted February 28, 2022 #7 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Bar Harbor can be quite challenging. Depending on the tide, the ramp from the tender drop off to the street can be quite steep. Other than the street next to the water, to get to other areas in the town, you need to go uphill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About an 11' range of tide. And don't forget the brick sidewalks, that are susceptible to winter heaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
