My husband is Portuguese and he knows they are the best. Fortunately for me he gets himself and me in quite easily he must know the backdoor!! We try and try again to make our own but as you know nothing beats the real thing. Enjoying your adventure! I would definitely get more in the future. I'm sure you know but our guide told us the secret is to sprinkle cinnamon on them. Yum.... I'm salivating as I type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted May 3, 2019 Author #577 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) https://www.facebook.com/100005493600369/videos/989120444614400/ Leaving Lisbon yesterday about an hour late. Just before departure we were informed there was an emergency medical aboard and we were waiting for an ambulance. We were suppose to be on time into Cadiz but were delayed at least 1/2 hour due to high winds last night. Having said that, it was as calm as a lake last night and I slept like a brick.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted May 3, 2019 Author #579 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Cadiz - 5/3/19 Arrived about 1/2 hour late at 10:30 and it took about 45 minutes for the ship to be cleared. The Captain has extended our stay in Cadiz an extra 1/2 hour so we will not depart until 8:30 PM tonight. It was nice to sleep in after loosing another (final) hour last night. We chose to stay aboard until after lunch. We have been to Cadiz a couple times before so chose to just grab a hop-on Hop-off bus. Cost of the bus was approximately $21.00. It was an enjoyable trip around the city but Cadiz is a rather small town and the full circuit could be done in about 1 1/2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted May 3, 2019 Author #582 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Couple shots around the ship. Can’t believe how time is flying by. Spanish flag was flying today. The ship hip was virtually empty today. Outside Sushi on Five Aqua Spa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micheleata Posted May 3, 2019 #584 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Great photos! These places look absolutely beautiful! As does the ship. I also love how the two of you are color coordinated most days! I hope you post your adventures after the cruise too. I would enjoy the land portion review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ontario Cruiser Posted May 3, 2019 #585 Share Posted May 3, 2019 They removed the library on the Summit and Millie and added 4 inside cabins2 on deck 7 & 2 on deck 8 so I presume the library will be removed on Infinity as well.

Ontario Cruiser That is one of the reasons I thought I would take a picture before it’s gone. On Infinity the upstairs is the Internet Cafe. The Library is used for Concierge Class where they have a Concierge and morning coffee and pastries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While she isn't new she is in pretty good condition. The crew is constantly cleaning and painting and I keep noticing new carpeting in many of the hallways. I don't know the accuracy but a couple we met that have been on B2B2B say they upgraded the bedding in most of the suites. Regardless I find the beds very comfortable neither too hard or too soft.

Unless we book something more we are finally going to try Edge for a B2B starting with October 21 Amalfi Coast and Greek Isles followed with Nov 1 Mediterranean Transatlantic. We planned these cruises the first day they were released and hoped by then they would have all the kinks worked out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I noticed on one of the dailies was they had a book exchange on one day during the crossing where guests were invited to bring a book and exchange with others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
