Wenneke Posted August 12, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2004 For departure September 2nd on the windsurf the shore excursion in Leixous is 'nothing' according to the webiste. I don't believe that is correct! What can we do, take the bus to Porto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merryecho Posted August 24, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 24, 2004 The same thing was posted for this port when we cruised last spring. Do they re-invent their excursions for each trip? The ship was late leaving Lisbon, so arrived late in Leixos, leaving barely enough time to take a taxi into Oporto and back ($20-30). Our daughter and husband took the ship tour into Lisbon, with a tour of the Graham's port cellars. They said it was the best tour of the cruise. We walked a block up to a grocery store and bought some wine, (which we drank during dinner) then had a beer at the sailors bar across the street from the ship. Very authentic, including working girls. They also did the ship tour of Santiago de Campostella, which was expensive, but worth every penny.

Wenneke Posted August 25, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted August 25, 2004 merryecho, thank you for all your replies, can you take liquor on board? 'which we drank during dinner' On NCL they take it from you, and give you back at the end of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merryecho Posted August 28, 2004 #4 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Windstar treats you like a grownup. You can take all the liquor you want on board. You are welcome to bring your own wine to the table, but there is a corkage fee- $5 or $10, I forget which. We are signed up for a Holland America cruise, only because some dear friends are having an anniversary, and I can't believe we are not allowed to bring our own liquor into a suite for entertaining.
