Bar Harbor voters to consider competing cruise ship ballot proposals

The future of the cruise ship business in the state's busiest cruise ship port will come to a crossroads next week when local voters consider two competing proposals on the town meeting ballot. Two questions will come before local voters on June 13 – one proposed by the town and the other by opponents who want to limit both the size of cruise ships that tie up along the waterfront and the number of cruise ship passengers who can disembark in Bar Harbor each day.
