Creator's Key Takeaways

the view of the city from the harbor is spectacular but you know if you've been looking out at waves for 7 days I think you'll pretty much be ecstatic seeing anything in the distance that is stationary and dry land finally land

we were totally surprised that they had the cast of Portugal So You Think You Can Dance meeting us at the bus stop

see those beat up wicker things there those are toin see these guys in white those are the drivers and see all these people waiting those are the victims I mean Riders of this yep that's what it is a sled ride down the street

this is a really nice welcome back party we just been on land for one day free popsicles when we get back to the ship never had that on Royal cariban

On our transatlantic cruise onboard the Norwegian EPIC, we had one stop along the way: Funchal in Madeira, (which belongs to Portugal).
