We will try to meet too. If we don't make it to tapas, we will meet at the fountain. We are also a family of 4. DH, DD 8.5, DS 6.5 and me.

That would be great!

I received a message from my friends earlier today and it reads "We'll be boarding the Magic in about an hour!". I'm even more excited now. Can't wait for our cruise!

First, let me tell you that Corsica was one of my fav destinations last year and i'm looking forward to it this year. Just a word of advice - there is an AWESOME outdoor market right off the ship as you depart. However, the market closes early so be sure and get your stuff or you'll miss out. Best deli meat I have ever had.

Will this market be obvious when we get off ship?

The Magic has just left Barcelona and the next time it does this we will all be on it too

FYI The Magic fountain is crazy busy at night, people swarmed everywhere. Make firm plans on where to meet.

Makaylee: How hard was it to do the Blue Grotto boat ride on your own? Thinking about canceling Disney excursion and doing it on our own...now that I am calculating cruise gratuities!

Oh it's SUPER simple. The taxi drivers are right next to the ship, they drive you there, and point you to the ticket line. You then get on the boat while your taxi waits for you. Please do not waste your money on Disney...it was SO easy.

 

[makaylee]

Yeah, lol that title is supposed to say "staying".

Oh okay. I'm sure it's fine.

 

[makaylee]

Will this market be obvious when we get off ship?

Yes, very obvious.

 

[ctldavis]

Yes, very obvious.

Thank you...

I'm on the 6/18 Barcelona Med cruise and am flying in on 6/17. I'm having a hard time getting a tour company to respond to my request for an airport pick up followed by a city tour. I found 2 that provide that but they're not responding to requests. Has anyone else found them to be slow in replying or am I having a problem because of the late date?

Hola!Barcelona and Barcelonadaytours.com are the 2 companies. Both highly rated in Tripadvisor.com

Does anyone else have companies they would recommend?

Which H10 hotel is it you are staying in? I stayed in the H10 Universatat last cruise and it was great (champagne/cava on arrival, a small welcome cake in the room). Good location, lovely roof top terrace, and had a little balcony with good views. I think this may have been because I commented on their page of FB - worth and try and if you mention FB you get a voucher for a cocktail also!

I am staying at the W hotel this time down at the marina, we did want to stay at the H10, but it was only £25 more on hotwire for a 5* so went for it!

I'm sure you will like it whichever one it is

I have everyone's cabin number except for Subabonk and ABLemon. Did I miss them or do you not have assignments yet?

 

[carolinagirls]

Getting to Barcelona on the 17th or leaving Atlanta on the 17th? We leave Atlanta on the 16th.

We are with you on this flight. Sent you a message on visitor panel.

Hello,

I am booking the transfer from BCN to our hotel ( Hotel Cuatro Naciones) off of La Lambla...we are a family of four. The best fare that I have found is 40 euro (each way) on Sun Transfers. Has anyone found a better fare or had any experience with Sun Transfers previously. Seems to be a a couple of reviews on Tripadvisor, but that is all. Their own website (of course) is filled with positive testimonials.... just wondering.

Cheers,
