LACB Posted October 16, 2020 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I would like to find out which of these two ports is the best to start a cruise to Funchal. I do not want to go through the hassle I had at Corfu. Ant advice would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pensioncruiser Posted October 16, 2020 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2020 My opinion is that both are OK and much better than Corfu, but that was pre covid, good luck 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecttr Posted October 16, 2020 #3 Share Posted October 16, 2020 do you like promenades and beaches? If so chose the Tenerife home port option because in Gran Canaria there is an almost 2 mile long beach and promenade about 20 minutes walk from where the ships docks, plus a multi story shopping arcade right there at the port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Brummijam Posted October 17, 2020 #4 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) The Marella itineraries for the canaries are usually pretty similar. Both airports at Tenerife and gran canaria are ok and the ports are both good as well. It depends where you want to spend a day visiting during your cruise, If you want a full day in Tenerife you need to board in Gran Canaria and vice versa if you want a full day in Gran canaria board in Tenerife.

FuzzyDuckUK Posted October 17, 2020 #5 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Done two cruises from Tenerife, not had an issue. For some reason the in past it was significantly cheaper to pick up the cruise in Tenerife, but looking lately that doesn't seem the case now. Both islands have decent airports and I wouldn't be bothered which one I was starting from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
