Brillance of the Seas

[Don McLean]

We will be sailing on the April 16th eparture for Brillance's trans-Atlantic crossing - a question.

1. Has anyone purchased shore excursions from vendors ashore (not through the ship)? Stops will be in the Azores, Lisbon, Seville, Malaga and Valencia. We usually buy the shorter 2-4 hour city tours ashore as they are about 1/2 price and you don't have to worry about missing the ship. Longer tours we purchase through the ship to avoid missing the departure. We have not sailed to European ports before so don't know about availability and pricing of private tours

I think most big ports will have private tours available.

in every port they are waiting 4 your money to make a private tour with you. Big ships big prices

Thanks, but what's a Euro? (Just kidding, but I sure wish it was back to being on par with the dollar.)

Great websites - I asppreciate your research! I lived in Augsburg for two years and enjoyed Germany very much. Maybe we will bump into each other onboard.
