Rare 0106 Posted November 6, 2022 #226 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) Today we took a one of our “free” ship tours- Discover Elche: UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although the bus ride was an hour and 20 minutes, it was interesting to see the country side. We selected this tour to see the palm trees and gardens. We were not disappointed. We also had some time in the city. Edited November 6, 2022 by 0106 20 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted November 6, 2022 #227 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Jacqui, so glad that you are onboard and settling in. Just looking at the sailaway images makes me slightly upset that we were not able to make it. I suppose you wont be doing to much 'zapateado' or 'golpe' at the flamenco show, but we really hope that you can still enjoy a very special cruise. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Banditswife Posted November 6, 2022 #229 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Thank you Kazu & all others. Love all the pics & comments. Hope your foot is healing & you will be out of that wheelchair soon. An injury is never good, bummer it happened so early in your vacation. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted November 6, 2022 #230 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Is anyone else having trouble with this thread? When I click on the title, instead of bringing me to the latest unread post, it continually brings me to post #154 (Girona images). It is only with this thread that it happens! Every other thread brings me to the latest unread post. Weird! 🤔 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cccole Posted November 7, 2022 #237 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Kazu, Thank you so much for taking us along on this adventure. We have just added 5 days in Barcelona to a December trip to Europe and I have made a list of everything and every place you reported on. I may have missed it, but is there a company in Barcelona that you used for excursions? I have been to Barcelona before but my husband has not. It's nice to see that you are enjoying the cruise. So looking forward to all of your posts! Thank you again soooooooo much, Cherie 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booked them as private tours not shared. Everyone was very happy with their guides and drivers. 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just for you, I ordered the cheese plate last night and yes, there were crackers! I don’t think there are any in the Lido though. Once I am more mobile, I’ll take a thorough look. Wasn’t able to get any in Barcelona but it is on the list for today or tomorrow..never fear - can’t have wine & cheese get together without crackers 😉 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted November 7, 2022 #242 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Nicely presented cheese plate (bit short of cheese though!) Good to see crackers available too. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted November 7, 2022 Author #243 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Ok, my beef for the day from dinner last night - I MISS MY WINE STEWARDS. A bottle of wine was a LOT faster with wine stewards 😉 Ordered 2 bottles of wine last night - one red and white. Instead of bringing me the Sauvignon Blanc and instead they brought a Cabernet Sauvignon. Sheesh. It eventually got corrected. 😉 5 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted November 7, 2022 Author #245 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Here’s a tip for anyone who is mobility challenged. The shuttle in Malaga is NOT accessible unless arrangements are made in advance. Who knew? 6 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shuttle in Malaga is NOT accessible unless arrangements are made in advance. Who knew? The city centre is very close to the fairly new ship terminal in Malaga and we just walked. Good point about the shuttle. Several years ago in Madeira where you are due to visit there was special mini buses for wheelchair users. Hopefully there are plenty of taxis for anyone who needs them.

Rare kazu Posted November 7, 2022 Author #248 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Boy I am confused. We are in Malaga and tonight is a dressy night. (The “new” term). There are 3 dressy nights - would have thought the first one would have been our sea day and 2 others on the 2 sea days? And it’s a silver Gala night. I thought Silver was the 2nd one? We sure picked the wrong night for Canaletto didn’t we? 10 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having a new appreciation of this, believe me. I can tell you where every “good” washroom is on the ship. One thing I really appreciate and never noticed before - there is signage at every disabled washroom on the ship that tells you where they all are. 👍 15 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted November 7, 2022 Author #250 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Sorry, I have been a bit discombobulated this trip and neglected menus. Here is today’s lunch menu in the Lido: and dinner in the Lido: 9 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
