Having sailed once before in the Caribbean with Star Flyer we decided on taking it across the Atlantic.

Official taxi voucher from Lisbon airport to old town was more than expected--total 21E-but included tip and luggage, and didn't have to hassle with driver. Not bad after a long overnight airline ...
