Cruise ships will be on the ballot once again in Bar Harbor this November. The town council voted 6-1 to approve an ordinance that sets a new daily limit sets a new daily limit of 3,200 ship passengers a day. The town would also set a monthly cap that varies by season. But it won't go into effect unless Bar Harbor residents vote to repeal the original 1,000-passenger limit in November.
