Floridiana Posted July 17, 2018 #101 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Catlover, Thank you so much for a most enjoyable report. I felt I was travelling with you. Great writer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vistaman Posted July 17, 2018 #102 Share Posted July 17, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsSommelier Posted July 18, 2018 #103 Share Posted July 18, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Silent Penguin Posted July 20, 2018 #104 Share Posted July 20, 2018 This is making me want to book a Europa cruise! That is exactly what I was thinking. Amazing photos. Even just the food would be enough of a reason to add this trip to my bucket list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
