Whispering october 18 ta

[Emtbsam]

We love sea days. There is always more than enough to do especially after a few weeks of port intensive cruising. Give it a try - you might find you really like it.

 

Sounds like an interesting group of speakers. I think we might have traveled with a few of them before.

 

CrusinPashmina - I'll be sure to let you know about the cooking class. We had one in Hoi An which was great. I remember EnglishUSA saying that the best shore excursion he ever went on was a cooking class in New Zealand. We have seen so many churches and museums that the occasional off the wall experience such as a cooking class or rappelling in Dominica is a pleasant change.

Thank you Emtbsam for your reply to my query re the list of lecturers on the TA of Oct 18th.

I am far from being able to navigate around a website like cruise critic but with your help and a great deal of luck I stumbled on to dusababy's list. Alistair MacDuff is a great fellow; I sailed with him before on the Silver Wind.

As I said I have signed up for Meet and Mingle so hopefully we will meet there. I am easily recognised as I get round the ship with the aid of a walker ( being disabled) (Ken)

[Emtbsam]

Ken - Glad I could help. There will be a great bunch of cc.com folks on board.

Silver box arrived about half an hour ago by the nice man from UPS. Seems a bit soon but I'm not complaining.

[Stumblefoot]

Come join Lu and me

Wish we could!

A question. Would anyone know where the Whisper will Dock in Lisbon or how to find out that info? From what I can gather there seem to be 2 different areas that accept cruise ships.

SS ships generally dock at St Apolonia.

The big ships dock at Alcantara.

Thanks. Looking on the Google Maps that seems to be much more convenient from the centre of town.

It's about a 20min walk from Santa Apolonia to Praca do Comercio altho' there have for some years been roadworks going on which confuses things a bit. Taxis in Lisbon are generally plentiful and pretty cheap.

Yep. A taxi fare app shows the journey from our hotel - Real Palacio - to Santa Apollonia as 12 Euros and 3 cents. A suspiciously precise number! Uber operate there too, I understand.
