lindsay_claire Posted July 31, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Have a wonderful time! Quick question-could someone tell me the preferred post-cruise hotel in Lisbon that Crystal is recommending? We have booked the Lisbon to Barcelona cruise next May and have started looking at hotels. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! You will not be disappointed with Avenita Palac, absolutely charming and great location and awesome breakfast buffet, best we ever had in 25 years of cruise travelling..I think others here will agree. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoryMag Posted July 31, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Lindsay..not sure but I think it might be the Sofitel Lisbon Liberdade. Staying there next week (shriek!) I enquired a few months ago before I booked it and at the time, that was the recommendation. I did book it independently, however. Have had lovely correspondence with hotel, and it looks beautiful. Plus great neighborhood. Will try to update 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of nice restaurants up and down the boulevard, plus a nice one in-house. Also a short walk to "downtown". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have stayed there before, but back in 2010. It was nice then and all the photos show it has been updated since then. Not sure if Crystal is using it.

Rare Keith1010 Posted July 31, 2023 #15 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Ship looks beautiful. Crew is back. You will hear me say Crystal enhanced. Because it is. A few things not there yet such as iPads. It will come. And Cobb Salad and Champagne as is the traditions. Happy to be home. Keith 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
