Creator's Key Takeaways

Overall, was it a delightful and easy day? Absolutely.

But if I'm being completely honest, I don't know that I would get off the ship again in Rockland unless I had an excursion booked.

That said, if lobster tasting is your goal, this is absolutely your place.

Rockland is a tender port, but the ride into town was quick and easy.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book an excursion for a more fulfilling experience in Rockland.
βœ“Try the lobster roll at Hills Seafood for an authentic taste.
βœ“Explore Main Street for local shops and small businesses.
