catlover, many thanks for all the photos and all the details of various ports .

however please allow me to say that your guide exagerated concerning the taxes and costs of life in Portugal.

the level of taxes is in general 10 % lower as the average in the EC and basic living is still a lot cheaper

Sweden ( Norway no EC ) , Belgium and the Netherlands are the tax champions

somebody who does earn " an average decent living" never can reach a 50% tax level at all.

but this is cruise critic and not an economical and social system thread :D

Catlover54,

I really enjoyed your wonderful descriptions and pictures. Thank you for taking the time and effort to post. I especially enjoyed the Lisbon pics and posts - we were a week in Lisbon last year at the end of a cruise (first time there) and it was love at first sight! Aren't we lucky that we live so close by and pop over for a visit any time.

 

 

Although I haven't got another HL cruise planned until Jan 2020, your report is making me reconsider :-) We will be trying Regent Explorer in October this year (I swore I'd never do another Regent cruise, but never say never) and then Seabourn SIN to CPT in Jan 2019. I've been pretty spoiled by the food and service on Europa, so we'll see how they compare.
