Change in Itinerary?

[PittsburghJack]

For those of us booked on the May 3rd segment (Lisbon-Barcelona) on the Legend.........................looks like we've had an itinerary change.

 

This leg was initially advertised as including Morocco, but the website now states the port of call as Cadiz. Also, shore excursions have not been finalized for this or the following segment on the Seabourn site. Is this unusual? Jack:confused:

Your travel agent received a message explaining the reason about 2 weeks ago: Unrest in that area of Morocco has rendered it a less safe than necessary port. It is a shame, but the world being what it is today I think it is a "Better safe than sorry" kind of thing.

PITJack,

 

If you have never been to Seville, I highly recommend a visit/shore excursion from Cadiz - it is a beautiful city and you will be there before the mercury tops 100°F.

Seville does have lots of great sights, sites, history, food, charm, etc. Very interesting and enjoyable place. It's old town part, Cathedral, Moslem gardens/palace, etc. are among the best of the best.

 

THANKS! Terry in Ohio

Thanks Terry, will pass that along to Mrs. Jack Jack

Sometimes Seabourn even sails right into Sevilla! Then you don't need the long bus ride. We've experienced that once and at the time the Pride and the Legend were there together!

:) I had a wonderful 2/3 of a day in Seville and the ventured out in Cadiz for a long walk and a nice late lunch in a local - very local - restaurant. It was a great day. Don't sell Cadiz short. Seville is not the only place to see.

[PittsburghJack]

Thank you all for the information. We haven't been in "that part of town", prefering the eastern Med., and look forward to the adventure.

I totally agree! And even more so if you are interested in markets. I think Cadiz has one of the nicest, neatest covered markets I've ever seen. We were very impressed especially with the fruit and fish displays, amazing!

Don't forget to visit the post office, very nice.

No Jack, they will lock you up and keep you there forever! So you should better go and see Sevilla first.

Mrs. Jack can go though and enjoy the rest of the cruise.
