Our itinerary for the Canary Island cruise on NCL Dawn. |
And off we go! It was time to get going after a few enjoyable days in Lisbon and we eagerly boarded Norwegian Dawn for an evening departure. We didn't depart until around 8pm and enjoyed a nice dinner in the Mexican specialty restaurant onboard before going outside to enjoy the nighttime views.
There was some kind of military ceremony happening on the pier adjacent to the ship and we enjoyed watching for a bit. I sympathized with the people in uniform as it was a warm day and they were in the sun the entire time. It looked like some kind of award ceremony (if I were to guess).
The transit out of Lisbon included a trip under the "Golden Gate" bridge, and the sound was unbelievably loud! The bridge deck was a metal grate instead of pavement and the howling of tires was the only thing we could hear for a solid 30 minutes.
