My concerns for today are these: Am I really going to have to pay $1700 for airfare back from Barcelona for the DH and I when we live 25 minutes from an international airport?

I was sure I had seen it for closer to $500 a ticket a week or two back. BCN to PHL, how hard can it be ya know? Anyone know/find anything better? ugh.
And dining, our family is so large we have never shared a table before. . .I thought I saw a thread or a web page about "personals" people asking for dinner mates and linking up ressies, etc. We are just a middle age couple of 2 this cruise so looking for some table mates for late dining, any suggestions?
Happy Sunday Everyone!
