July 2024 Did not start well.
First flight (from Glasgow) to Frankfurt was late leaving.Which meant we had to run to catch our connecting flight to Barcelona.
In Spain there was no luggage awaiting us. They lost our luggage from Frankfurt to Barcelona. Found it stuck in Frankfurt and put on another flight which arrived at midnight meant we missed our hotel transfer. Had to use a taxi to our hotel in Barcelona. Receipt attached. As per Travel agents instructions. There was no chance of us getting a meal as it was too late for the restaurant.
In the morning we took another taxi to the port . We could not get a receipt.
At the port we had to wait at least two hours to get near the ship. The embarkation computer system was down.
Not the best start to our special cruise.

Day 1 Good bye Barcelona
Day 4 Lisbon
Day 5 Lisbon
Started with a special event. Sailing under the 25th of April bridge.
You could almost touch it. After docking in the city centre we left the ship and walked up the street admiring the tiles on the buildings. Then we were stopped by a Tuk Tuk driver.

Day 6 Porto
Porto was my favourite stop on the cruise. Amazing place built on the banks of the river Douro. We enjoyed a Six Bridges Panoramic Cruise.
The weather was brilliant and atmosphere in the city was brilliant.
We had done a bit of homework and learned the main railway station was well worth a visit. It a stunning place.

Porto Railway station .
The main MacDonalds was the best I have ever seen. Like a historical building. We could not get near the famous Harry Potter book shop. The place was mobbed.
Day 7 At sea
Day 8 Tangier
Our last day off the ship and we are in Morrocco.
Going through the Gibraltar strait we saw many Pilot whales before we seen the Rock.
