Creator's Key Takeaways

It's the lifts are atrocious again. It's um ridiculous how long you have to wait.

We've never actually stayed the the night in port and today we are actually staying overnight in the port of Lisbon.

Now if we' have got on and off the um bus and done some of the places. It's going to be a long trip.

It's a good job that uh uh we did it on the first day and not tomorrow, which we was going to originally do that tomorrow.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Keep hop-on hop-off bus tickets for a 15% discount on future tours.
Do the hop-on hop-off bus tour on the first day if staying overnight to avoid missing the ship.

Are you planning a cruise to Lisbon on the P&O Iona? In this Lisbon cruise vlog, we’re sharing our full experience of an overnight port day in Portugal's sunny capital! Staying overnight in Lisbon gives you two full days to explore, but it also comes with some unique challenges. From a sneaky 15% discount hack on the Lisbon hop on hop off bus tour to a warning that could cause you to miss your cruise ship, we’ve packed this video with essential P&O Iona Cruise tips! Before heading out into the city, we take a quick look at the P&O Iona buffet (including a breakdown of the impressive plant-based milk options) and address the ongoing lift and elevator issues on board. Once in port, we take you along for the full 3-hour Lisbon Portugal hop on hop off bus tour route past iconic landmarks like the 25th of April Bridge (Lisbon's Golden Gate Bridge lookalike). We wrap up our first day in Lisbon back on the ship with an honest food review of the Pearl Main Dining Room, local Portuguese entertainment at the Sky Dome, and a hilarious comedy show by Steve Terry in the Limelight club and live music in the Headliners Theatre.
