This week, six cruise ships will call in Portland, bringing with them some 20,000 passengers. Bar Harbor will host a similar number this week as well. 

But opinions vary about the economic benefit of the cruise ships. Some locals dislike the crowds and some businesses say cruise ship passengers don't spend a lot. But clearly there are a lot of people here that could drop into shops, restaurants or attractions.
