Sunday, April 13, 2025 Our day at sea (Lisbon to Seville)

Today is our one day “at sea”. We’re already learning there’s a huge schedule of possible things to do every day along with so many people to meet! 662 passengers and we’re meeting really nice people.

Last night we ate at Windows Restaurant, the main dining area with a beautiful themed buffet (seafood last night), so thought we’d try Discoveries Restaurant this morning. This is an order off the menu restaurant and it was a perfect breakfast.



We’d looked at our daily copy of “The insider” and wanted to attend a morning and afternoon talk by a history professor about the part of Spain we’re in. We went to his talk at 10 and the other one at 2, giving us a preview of Seville, our first port.

Let’s see… the rest of the day was filled with laundry, eating lunch, trying to get oriented on the boat, meeting lots of people and reading on the outside pool deck. 



We had 50 miles to travel up the river before coming to the lock into Seville. We had a great time hanging out on the 11th level deck watching our ship squeak through the lock and under a bridge. We watched all this with Pam and John from England, Sally and Griff from Australia, the professor from the talks and Susan and Richard from Maryland. 





By 7:30 we were hungry and headed to Windows for the French buffet. After dinner and more chatting we decided to check out the entertainment. 4 singers and 2 dancers and a band, with all kinds of familiar songs. All silly fun!

By 9:45 we were beat and ready for bed.
