Although we had one more port, Portimao, Portugal, my husband and I knew we would not be stopping there when we were on our excursion to Sevilla. We got a notification that our excursion in Portugal was cancelled and it was a boat tour to see the arches. Our ship was scheduled to anchor out and we would take the tender to port. We figured if our excursion … Continue reading NCL Cruise: Lisbon, Portugal
It was a rolling night at sea and we woke up to find it raining outside. The disembarkation was a mass of people because they had us going down a very steep ramp in the rain. And, of course, we had to leave at the same time as all the excursions were leaving. We managed to get to the meeting point in the time limit and stood … Continue reading NCL Cruise: Port of Cadiz, Excursion to Sevilla, Spain
We opted not to do a tour today, so we were able to eat breakfast in the dining room for the first time. My husband was very excited because they had a special with a pretzel roll sandwich. I tried some yogurt with granola and strawberries. It had one strawberry and the rest was like a jam. The granola was mealy. It was a little disappointing from what … Continue reading NCL Cruise: Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands
Our tour today was one that we planned through Spain Day Tours. We had to meet at 8:15 on the way out of the port. (Apparently they don’t let in private tour companies in the morning next to the ship.) There were only 15 people in our group, but we had a pretty big bus. Our guide spoke the best English out of all the tour guides we … Continue reading NCL Cruise: Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain
Time went back an hour last night for the Canary Islands. It was nice to be able to sleep in again this morning. Of course, everyone else on the ship had the same idea. We thought we would try and eat at the dining room this morning, but so did everyone else. We went to the buffet per usual. We did not have a tour today so we … Continue reading NCL Cruise: Puerto de Rosario, Canary Islands, Spain
This morning we were able to sleep in a bit since we did not dock until 11am and our tour did not meet until noon. It was nice to get some extra sleep. Of course everyone else had the same idea, so when we got to the buffet it was a mob scene. It didn’t help that several of the omelet stovetops were not working so the lines … Continue reading NCL Cruise: Agadir, Morocco
My husband was so excited to take this cruise because it stopped in Morocco. I remember going to Tangier almost 30 years ago from Spain by hydrofoil. It was a fun day with a tour, but I was in my early 20s. I was not sure I would be a fan of Morocco now, but since most of this cruise was all about Spain, I did not balk … Continue reading NCL Cruise: Casablanca, Morocco
I’m always a big fan of entertainment on a cruise. This one is kind of sad. Last night the only show was a vocalist. There is already a ton of music on board in various bars and salons and this was also the only choice in the theater. It’s disappointing. Tonight they had a Deal or No Deal game show that was cancelled because not enough people bought tickets. We walked … Continue reading NCL Cruise: Motril, Spain
