Hello, we are sailing next week , 5 September 2021 on the Azure. Just wondering if anyone else has and how it went.

Wonderful the Portuguese are really lovely people. We didn’t think that much of our cruise director but if Maria Elena is still there try to join her group she is super. On one tour she took over, evidently the Portuguese police can drop in at any time, including Sunday, which this was, to inspect the ‘books’ Maria was fantastic. At the market in Porto we had so many ‘just a nibble’ we passed on lunch. I didn’t realise that Port could be used in so many recipes and discovered Pink Port the go to summer time afternoon tipple. All in all a beautiful country lovely people would do the cruise again. 

Cruising towards Spain.

Please post as much as you can, so I can pre-cruise vicariously before we do the real thing in 2023!
