cruiserbunny Posted January 23, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Thinking of doing Lisbon to Montecarlo on Legend on 7 April or Brcelona to Monte Carlo on 24 April. We would be first timers on Seabourn. Have previously travelled on Crystal Serenity. Has anyone had any experience of weather and sea conditions at this time of year (is it likely to be rough?) and any advice on which of the 2 cruises to choose. Very grateful for any advice.

bgood Posted January 25, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hello Cruisebunny, Either choice should be fine. The Lisbon to Monte Carlo cruise actually goes up the Guadalquivir river to Seville, which is a very unusual cruise itinerary. I have sailed that in a small ship and it's very interesting. Besides, it's totally landlocked so no waves, etc. Portimao is the port for the Algarve coast of Portugal. If you look at the itinerary, you really only have one day at sea and that is toward the end--you should have your "sea legs" well by then no matter what the weather. I have sailed the Med in April and loved it--everything in bloom. bgood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g2cruise Posted January 26, 2005 #3 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Hi, both are great choices. You do not need to worry about the motion. The waters are very smooth and you will be spending alot of time on land. I have alot of things I could recommend if you are interested. staceysell@aol.com I think they just lowered there rates!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPaloma Posted January 26, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 26, 2005 We have booked the Barcelona--Monte Carlo trip. Most of the ports will be repeats for us, and they are all good. It really is a beautiful time of the year in this part of the World. The land tours on this trip are special! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
