cdkempton Posted November 16, 2007 #10 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Funchal was one of our most favorite ports. Coming into the harbor in the early hours and seeing the hillsides all lit up was magical. The villas/homes all adorned with poinsettias, bougenvilla, banana palms, etc were incredibly beautiful. Don't miss the toboggan ride! Happy Sails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobnsandi Posted November 16, 2007 #11 Share Posted November 16, 2007 We're getting really excited. Will be on this beautiful ship January 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druke I Posted November 16, 2007 #12 Share Posted November 16, 2007 We were in Funchal way back Mar 98, on the late great Royal Princess. We took a "street sled", and it was a great, fun trip down the hill. We'll be back, Mar 08, on Oceania's Regatta, and hope to repeat the "street sled".

skyedoggie Posted November 17, 2007 #15 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Want to thank you for the webcam and for Zaandam_2 photos. Wow, Funchal is beautiful and as soon as DH gets home tonight, I'll be pointing out this thread. I'd love to see it in person! Perhaps I could say I'd like to explore my roots since my family is from SanMiguel! Thank you all. I'll be checking out the HAL site for upcoming cruises that may stop there. May I ask where you sailed from and what is the best time of the year to visit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
