Done

Here's a picture of the sailaway from Madiera.  These are a few of the uninhabited islands just outside Funchal.


It was a relaxing day at sea yesterday.  It wasn't hot, but the sun came out from time to time and the wind was down so it was nice to sit out.  The seas looked calm but the ship was really moving, I'm not sure why.  Perhaps something to do with the slower speed?  I talked to people that put the motion sickness patch on for the first time yesterday.

Woke this morning docked in Lisbon.  It was grey and a bit of rain.  My bus left at 9 for the airport so it didn't feel too rushed.  And disembarking was a breeze, another benefit of the size of the ship.  The ship really is great, pretty much the perfect size.  Lots to do and enough room to have a large promenade deck to run or walk, but small enough to not feel at all crowded. It definitely beats the larger ships. Crystal too was better in many ways.  Food, accommodations, entertainment, the all inclusive nature was all excellent.  There were many people on the ship that only go on Crystal.  Not sure I would go that far but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
