Mooring in Porto is poor but staff excellent.
The mooring in Porto was a long way from the centre of the city which was disappointing. All visits required coach journeys, in one case about 2 hours each way. In fairness the use of coaches is a feature of any Douro cruise. On the plus side the staff, food and ship were excellent. The allocation of customers to coaches was particularly good with one of the three coaches nominated for slow walkers and coloured cards used to ensure equal numbers in each coach. Of particular note was the ability to drop off suitcases before the scheduled boarding time and have a light lunch. At the end of the cruise although we had to vacate the cabin by 9.00am we were able to stay on board until 2.00pm and have a light lunch.
