Creator's Key Takeaways

Our excursion of the day was a lobster demonstration cruise with Rock Bottom Fisheries. It was phenomenal.

I will say this was not Princess's finest moment. It took us 2 hours to get our entre.

The crew is very well trained to deal with these things, but it was just a little weird to be sitting there and the sprinkler goes off without any warning.

Highly recommend it. I think it's probably a must do when you come to Portland.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wear tennis shoes to go up and down those cobblestone streets in Portland.
Be on deck as you head in and out of Portland for sailaway views.
