Welcome new cruisers.
We have almost everything arranged except the trip to the Barcelona airport and a possible excursion to Seville.
We didn't feel uncomfortable in Barcelona- stayed there three days prior to our cruise last April. Rome, IMHO was far worse. There were pick pockets so obviously working the metro stations and the trains-- using the old one person drops the pretend baby when they come near you, you try to help and then the partners distract and rob you. They were even casing the nuns we were riding out towards Vatican City with. They took one look at oldest dd and she just met their eyes, shook her head and they moved on. I guess growing up riding the subway can be a good thing sometimes.
