BAR HARBOR - U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree has been successful in her efforts to convince cruise ships to serve Maine lobster when they stop in ports on the coast, according to The Associated Press. Pingree wrote letters to 15 cruise lines, receiving a quick response from Holland America, whose ship, Massdam, will take delivery from the Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound when it docks in Bar Harbor on Friday.
