We have cruised many times but this was our first with Celebrity. We have had only good cruises but some are better than others.....
We flew to Barcelona two days early and enjoyed our stay at Hotel 1898 right on La Rambla. Would highly recommend.
Embarkation-We arrived around 11:30 and found long line. Easily dropped off our luggage with stevedore and joined the line. Fortunately, we were under cover, so we didn't have to stand outside in the sun. Line was a little slow until we got past security and then check in was prompt and relatively easy.
