Overall, I was pleased with my trip and had a great time. There are certain areas that really stood out positively for me and some areas that stood out negatively.
Pros:
-Amazing service. The crew seemed happy in their roles and like they genuinely wanted to please us as customers.
Great cabin and really happy with it. Room for me and my husband to put our belongings away. Still smaller than a hotel room, but definitely not bad. I loved being in a promenade room and seeing the promenade. Did feel motion in this room on certain nights when the boat was really moving.
This was a really bad stop. We docked an hour late. Paris and Normandy excursions were pricey and far away so we thought we would just explore the port but it was a terrible port. Turned out to be cold, windy and rainy and all there was to do is shopping and nothing to see. Very industrial.
I loved Lisbon!! We did the hop on, hop off tour which had a pick up right off the boat so it was easy to spot. It was a great way to see the city. The same drop off was not available on the way back so we walked a little to get back to the boat but it wasn't a problem for us. They only take euros though and no credit card, so be prepared. It was $20 euros each if I remember correctly.
This port had free internet when you got off the ship.
There was a bus tour done by locals for 15 euros each right when you got off the boat. It was a great tour. They told us we wouldn't have time to see the top of the Tower of Hercules with our 30 minutes stop. We're very in shape and there was no line, so we were able to see the top in that time given. Showed us Tower of Hercules, octopus statue, cannon statute, and one other stop I'm drawing a blank on.
