jennywren46 Posted October 12, 2012 #3 Share Posted October 12, 2012 weve been on Independence three times and its docked at the terminal under the April 25th Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbeaney Posted October 12, 2012 #4 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Hoping to meet up with people when they are on one ship and we are on another - any idea which dock is used please? thank you It depends on which ship you are on the Independence docks out of town by the large suspension bridge. There is a shuttle into the city $10 ea. or local bus 400/500 yds away. H & V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-1 Posted October 12, 2012 #5 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I was on Voyager and it parked about 100 yds from the suspension bridge; it looks like the Golden Gate in SF. Buses transport people downtown. There were three other ships in port and we were all parked one behind each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocksatsea Posted April 16, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 16, 2017 We will be on Freedom. Friends are picking us up n Lisbon. Does anyone know where Freedom of Seas docks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saab4444 Posted April 16, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 16, 2017 There is one dock at the April 25 bridge and one more downtown. The big ships dock near the bridge due to draft restrictions further downtown. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sddsddean Posted April 16, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Since this thread was started in 2012, there has been major re-development of St Apolonia cruise terminal, where up to 3 'big' ships can now dock (and most do). I don't think the Alcantara terminal by the bridge is used any more. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Lisbon,+Portugal/@38.7115323,-9.1284378,1488m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0xd19331a61e4f33b:0x400ebbde49036d0!8m2!3d38.7222524!4d-9.1393366 Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Cake Posted April 17, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I'm on the Independence and was wondering the same. Did a search and apparently the port scheduled Indy is due to dock at Jardim do Tabaco on the 18-5-17 http://www.portodelisboa.pt/portal/page/portal/PORTAL_PORTO_LISBOA_ING/CRUZEIROS/PREVISAO_NAVIOS_CRUZEIRO Not sure what date you need for Freedom but on the 2-5-17 it's scheduled to dock at St Apolonia Jusante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sddsddean Posted April 17, 2017 #12 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Jardim de Tabaco and St Apoloina are effectively the same place now since the re development. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky0000547 Posted April 17, 2017 #13 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I was on Independence last year in Lisbon and the ship did indeed dock at the location as stated by sddsddean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRSBITS Posted April 18, 2017 #14 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Jardim de Tabaco and St Apoloina are effectively the same place now since the re development. Simon We are arriving in Lisbon on May 2nd aboard the Freedom. We have been told that we will dock at St Apoloina. Can we walk from this dock to catch a HoHo bus? How far a walk?

sky0000547 Posted April 18, 2017 #15 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The dock is less than 10mins walk to the main square (Praça do Comércio) in Lisbon. There might even be a bus stop outside the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolyn Go to this site https://www.hop-on-hop-off-bus.com/lisbon/lisbon-hop-on-hop-off-tour_23592 At the bottom of the 'Overview' section is a link to download the route. Stop 9 on the blue route is outside the cruise terminal. The nearest stop on the red route is stop 20, but its a good 15 minute walk, so get the blue route first and change somewhere if you want to, although that stop will probably be crowded, so maybe a walk to stop 20 might be a good idea.
