Madeira is rainy season then, so it's a toss up. Lisbon was completely clear and sunny during the 5 days I was there in Dec

Both great options, you can do Lisbon and mix in the algarve for 1-2 days to get a little bit of both experiences

Has anyone here taken a cruise with Virgin Voyages? If so, I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether they are not like other cruises as their marketing collateral suggests.
