SeaSickGill Posted March 3, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hi What ship are you on? We went to Lisbon (and Vigo) on the Oceana in 2005. P&O offered a free bus ride into Lisbon and we had a horrendous 20min bus ride with some mad driver - bus packed- nothing to cling on to:eek: Anyway we had a nice day, got the hop on hop off bus from the square that is located on the river/sea front,(Terreiro do Paço)and guess what - the ship was about 400 yards away!:eek: In other words, you're not that far away from the centre. Have a lovely time x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarar Posted March 4, 2011 #7 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Sarar. We go on may 20th. We nearly booked the April one but opted for may as I thought weather may be better. Yes I agree we would've prefered to go at a later date when the weather should be better, but there was a special deal on a balcony cabin and it was a disabled one. Yes I am in a wheelchair, before someone hijacks this thread to say I shouldn't use up this cabin if I'm not disabled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
