Our 9 night Canary Islands cruise onboard the Norwegian Spirit began in Barcelona and ended there on 30th December 2012. We had spent two nights in Barcelona pre cruise so we were already in holiday mode and looking forward to the adventure. Having sailed previously on a variety of ships from medium to very large, this would be a new experience and our first NCL cruise from the outset it was hard to escape the fact that there were a large number of passengers onboard, however, we soon adjusted to the situation and got on with enjoying the trip.
Embarkation ad Disembarkation
The embarkation process at the Barcelona Terminal was very quick and efficient as we had already provided our Advanced Passenger Information online prior to departure. After a short wait we were allowed aboard and were pleased to find that our luggage was already waiting outside our Stateroom.
