(Rockland, Maine) On a chilly and clear Monday morning Jewel Of The Seas arrived in Rockland, Maine around 6:30am. Jewel Of The Seas 962 feet carries 2,501 passengers and 760 crew members. Rockland welcomed the passengers and crew to this beautiful coastal Maine town. Jewels Of The Seas past the Rockland Lighthouse around 6:20 this morning. There were people welcoming the passengers as they started to come ashore at 7:15am with a map of Rockland to hand out. On this cruise there were 160 different nationalities from around the world. Passengers were able to go by coach, trolley or taxi to different destinations around the Rockland/Camden area. It was great to see so many people in a small coastal Maine town like Rockland. Rockland/Camden area is rich in maritime history, beautiful scenery along with art galleries, restaurants and the world famous Farnsworths Art Museum in Rockland to name a few. I was blessed to been able to cover this event by taken photographs as a reminder of a great thing it was for Jewel Of The Seas to drop anchor in beautiful Rockland, Maine.
