Creator's Key Takeaways

We were going to do just a I did quite a bit of research and from what I could tell, Porto was a very walkable, do it on your own port.

It was a total of less than half an hour. And and I understand that that can vary depending on traffic and that's understandable.

We were able to find a patch for me and I was very excited at that.

It was very casual and it I thought it was fantastic.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take the ship shuttle to Porto for €16 round-trip; it's faster than expected.
Bring cash euros for vendors; they don't accept credit cards.
Pin the shuttle drop-off/pick-up location (grocery store) for easy return.
Bring artificial sweeteners from the ship if you prefer them.

YouTube Video Description

Join Joyce & Jon from The Traveling Gamblers on the Celebrity Apex during an 11-night Portugal & Canary Islands cruise (Southampton–Southampton) as we make the most of a short 7:00–14:30 Porto call. We share exactly how we got from the cruise terminal to the riverfront fast, why we chose the ship shuttle (€16 pp round-trip), and where the drop-off/pick-up point is so you can pin it too. Our ride took ~27–30 minutes, not the 60–70 mins we feared. Walk with us along the Douro: souvenirs, local vendors (bring euros/cash), warm churros (€6 for 5), ham & cheese croissant (€4), and those famous custard tarts. We show the cable car to the Dom Luís I Bridge (pedestrian upper deck + train), talk about the Six Bridges river cruise (~50 minutes), and give rapid-fire tips for coffee, cards vs cash, and sweeteners on shore.
