Beware of THIS When Your Ship Stops in Lisbon, Portugal! | Norwegian Getaway, Solo Cruise

Finally a sunny day in Portugal! This is the first port this cruise that there have been a lot of people bothering people to buy excursions, rent a car, busses. Lisbon is beautiful and it was a relaxing evening on the Norwegian Getaway! Enjoy!

You do excellent videos. And I like the fact that you acknowledge each comment, it shows you've read them.

The wavy lines on the pavement represent the distance the tsunami travelled when there was the massive earthquake.

We thought we had to take the coach into the centre.Little did we know that you can walk there from the ship. Lesson learnt.

Ok, ok. I guess I'll subscribe. 😁 Ben seems like a good guy.

Back in the 90s, a friend of my aunt paid for her to go on a Mediterranean cruise on the QE2. My aunt wasn't well travelled, she'd never set foot on a plane and had never been further from her south London home than the Isle of Wight or Devon. One of the stops was Lisbon, and I remember her saying that she HATED it because it was "full of beggars". I've since been to Lisbon myself and loved it, so I couldn't figure out why my aunt had such a problem with it! But now that I've watched this, I think I know! She probably thought those people who bothered you when you got off the ship were "beggars", bless her heart. 😊

Hi Ben, enjoyed seeing some of the architecture in your walk around Lisbon. It is always interesting to see how unique some of the architecture is in different countries. It is a shame that the pesky people trying to see stuff can be so annoying.

You know, Ben, I have always wondered How Lisbon looked like. Thanks for tor being my guide !

Also some ports will have tourist numbers just for the police or specific tourist police. Really useful having those numbers on you and they are usually on the daily planner.

Hi Ben, do you speak Cantonese and/or Mandarin? I think that you said that you started to speak in Chinese to stop people from trying to sell you stuff and it really impressed someone. I would certainly be impressed and I hear Cantonese almost everyday around where I live, but Mandarin is rare.

Repositioning cruises are some of the cheapest holidays out there (you need to factor in the flights), Costa Cruises can get crazy cheap, I've seen pricing on some of their T/A's as low as £13 pppn. We're doing a Princess T/A next month (Florida-Southampton) for about £60 pppn & using points to pay for the flight out. If you think about it, £5-10/day for breakfast, £10-15 for lunch and £25-30 for dinner, plus £10 for snacks during the day the travel part of the cruise is basically free.

Lisbon is beautiful. And so many Gypsy ladies selling identical tablecloths! Love the mosaic pavement

I didnt have it bad in portugal. Barcelona on the other hand was bad for it.

What is the ratio of passengers on board is it mainly people from the USA or a mixer I'm planning a relocation cruise on the Norwegian Encor from my home town of Southampton to Miami in December I'm assuming because the cruise starts in the UK there will be a lot of British people, thank you for another great video.

[@jameswg13]

The casino thing is planned that way especially with american cruise lines or bigger americsn ones. They want you to walk through it and tempt you.

Those pavements are lethal when wet. Sorry we didn't like Lisbon, maybe because it never stopped raining the whole time we were there

[@valerielane1066]

Did you have to pay for your flight back to UK. How much did it cost?
