I recently did a Mediterranean Cruise on Norwegian Sun - I won't be cruising with NCL again
A very, very old ship.

We enjoyed the NCL experience and would love to cruise on one of their newest ships like Prima, but then we’re also not Silversea/Seabourn/Cunard people
 
@drron did you discover why they built right up to the gorge?

Also was the cruise embarkation port at Lisbon?
Basically the old town was built by the Moors and they didn't need a wall along the Gorge side so people did what they wanted to I guess.
Yes we got on board in Lisbon.
 
Back on board and once again we bombed at trivia. But I regained some pride by winning at putting with 2 holes in one.
Then dinner once more in Atlantide. The daily menu.

We both started with the soft shell crab. It was nice.

Mrsdrron had the lobster tail again and I went for the fillet steak. We were having dinner with another couple from our trivia team. I ordered mine rare and the other fellow ordered his medium rare and I am sure they mixed the orders up.

I did have the tomato soup which I love on Silversea. We both ended with the cheeses cake.

It was another good night.

After a breakfast in the Arts cafe we were off on an excursion. This turned out to be not so good. We were put into a bus and drove around the city for 45 minutes then let off the bus just outside the Port gates to walk to the Roman ruins. First from the bus.

Now we are at the Museum at the Roman City site.

So far most of the display is not from Roman times.
