[kugalbelle]

Hi everyone,
I managed to capture the Magic arriving into Gibraltar this morning off the port's webcam.
The video is up on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LQ2wgzdwa8
(Couldn't get to capture the stream so this is video footage of the PC screen - sorry it's a little bumpy!)

So which hotels are everyone staying @?

We are at the Hotel Cram pre and AC Barcelona after!

We will be staying at Grand Marina if this is where you decide to meet the night before the cruise...let us know!!

.
We are staying at the AC Barcelona the night before the cruise. I'm a bit worried about how the jetlag will affect me. DH and sleep through anything but I've never been able to sleep on a plane.
Sandra

i'm staying that the hesperia presidente. i think it is downtown somewhere. i'm planning on buying a couple of bottles for friday and saturday and just drink the ship's water from deck 9.

Okay, I just heard back from my TA. We were able to get Hilton-Diagonal-Mar-Barcelona. We have 4 rooms......anyone else here? We have 2 nights July 26 and July 27.!

Hi all, checking in.
The plan to meet at the Grand Marina and then onto the Fountain sounds good. We are staying at the Grand Marina so that is convenient!

I wanted a place with room for all 4 of us, in one room. So we are at the Husa Lilla. Not sure where it is in comparison to the others, or the fountain. But I will see what we can do.

We are staying in what is supposed to be 2 triple rooms in Royal Ramblas which if I remember correctly is at the top of Las Ramblas and close to EL Cortes Ingles. I'm sure I'll have to discover where this store is and shop there. Does anyone now if we can bring food onto the Magic from the local stores?

We are staying at the Hesperia Presidente. DCL hotel, but we booked it ourselves. Since there are 5 of us, I needed to make sure that we could fit into 2 rooms - those European hotel rooms sure are tiny!! I didn't mind getting 2 rooms, but several hotels wanted us to get 3 - no way!!

Helen,
We're staying at the Gran Via Hotel. It seems it was once a small palace??? Anyway, it seems central to the sights and it's easily accessed by metro.

Anyone else want to share ... let me know if I've missed you out! I'm so tired at the moment

Helen your magic fountain details don't include the summer times be careful they are different from winter it has to be dark for the show to look good

Hi Lynn it was too early this morning - I have gone back and changed it now. Also added some more details. Will post again here for those who missed it!

I did a search and came up with these ...

The Montjuic Fountain is a must see for anyone visiting Barcelona! Situated in front of the Grand Palace adds to the extravagant view that awaits you. The fountains attract thousands of tourists and locals to enjoy the spectacular display of water, lights and music! You can enjoy the show while sitting at one of the outdoor refreshment stands. It is best to see the show when it is dark so that you can enjoy the lighting to its full effect. The performance times are set out below: Performance times of the Magic Fountain of Montjuic:

Summer: (May to September)
Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 pm to 11:30 pm
Music Sessions: 9:30 PM 10:00 PM 10:30 PM 11:00 PM 11:30 PM

Entrance Fee: Free

To get to the "Magic Fountain", you should take the metro to Plaça Espanya which is on the red line. Then, head toward the twin towers.

This is the link to the offical website - http://www.bcn.es/fonts/ there is a web cam link that coincides with the performances. There is also and English button !

Hi Helen,
Checking in.
The plan to meet at the Grand Marina and then onto the Fountain sounds good for us too. We are staying at the Grand Marina the night of the 27th, arrive into BCN that morning!

To all those multi-posters:
I have been trying to Ketchup for almost 4 hours

To all those who are trying to beat Andrew:
I say we all join forces, log in as Helen and take over this board

To all those who have pirated, repirated and multi-pirated:
Look out, one day when you least expect it....

To all those who are also just trying to keep up:
We know the real party animals are the quiet ones.

Wishing all well, and happy planning. Keep it coming

Thanks all for the entertainment

I'm sorry - I missed your multi-quote. But don't feel bad on my other thread I was so tired I invited someone to come cruise with me and it turns out we were talking 2 entirely different cruises! Now that is just time to go to bed when that happens. Wait that won't work - then I can't sleep tonight. Woe is me - what's a girl to do.

Anyway, I'm on my way to find your multi-quote. In the meantime, have some

 

[eeyorelvr10]

OK since all my boards are slow....I'm going to take this opportunity to do more . This seems to be a forever job. And there is only 5 of us.

hhhmmmmm.....I wonder if the endless shopping may have something to do with this.

Maybe I should find some help for my problem:

HELP!
Anyone know the number for " ODD "
