Bay of Biscay twice both times rough,took the shine off a lovely cruise.The Canary islands and Madeira were wonderful we just wished there was a port on the return journey,3 days at sea with the sea state as it was was too much.

Cruise tips
Santa Cruz De Tenerife, Canary Islands
Walked off the ship into town,a really good and large market which we bought lots at a very reasonable price.
Easy to walk straight off ship ,some lovely local shops and eateries.
Arrecife, Lanzarote, Canary Islands
Lovely easy walk into town,lots of local stalls , loved it.
Embarkation only , great port.
Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands
Again walked off the ship to local shops and beach.
Did a princess exursion,the best of Madeira ,coach up to a spectacular viewing point then to a basket weaving outlet which was expensive,we then went up to the mountains through the clouds,fantastic scenery ,but I would hate to have to drive here.We then went for a three course lunch with port on arrival then red and white wine followed by brandy.local entertainment was also laid on which was dancers and musicians - they were absolutely brilliant.We then went to the tabogan,fantastic.2km of downhill in a wicker basket guided by 2 strapping men.On our way back to the ship we stopped at a winery for tasting.Overall a great excursion well worth the money.
Sapphire Princess
If rough seas are expected take extra sea sick remedies,the sapphires stabilizers are not the best.
