We were on the sailing of 20th. September 2012.
We are a professional couple who have cruised several times before. We had been staying in Madrid pre cruise and got the AVE Train to Barcelona on the day of the cruise. This was an amazing experience - 300kph with included meal and drinks. Taxi from station to port.
We arrived at the Pier at around 2.30pm. Not many checking in and we had an allocated checkin being Aquaclass. Through in minutes.
