We got pastel de nata too. Victoria was looking after us and she was so sweet and attentive to anything we needed and gave us information about the monuments we passed on the cruise. We did the cruise for my partners birthday and Victoria arranged a pastel de nata with ‘candles’ and everyone sang happy birthday to him which was so special and just the perfect extra touch to our evening.
