Today's Poll
Sponsored by Kennebunk Savings Bank
Maine's cruise ship season is in full swing, running from late September through early November. Thousands of passengers are expected to visit Portland, Bar Harbor, Eastport or Rockland.
This week alone, Portland is set to welcome around 16,000 cruise ship passengers.
But as the season ramps up, it's bringing mixed reviews. Some locals brace for the crowds and many business owners say cruise ship visitors don't spend much while in the port. Other business owners argue that, even if cruise ships don't benefit their own coffers, they still benefit the overall economy.
When we asked this question in 2023, Mainebiz respondents, 21% said the visits bring customers and revenue, while only 18% said the visits don't help their business.
More than half of the respondents, 53%, said cruise ships benefit the overall economy.
