We have always been hesitant with regards booking a cruise as the message we received was we would either love it or hate it. We saw an excellent deal for the Spirit and so decided to take a chance and try cruising. We went with an open mind and we were not disappointed.
Check in
This was quick and efficient with drink and cake available while we waited to board the ship. We boarded shortly after midday and were very quickly able to drop our hand luggage and hop on the bus into Barcelona city centre. The bus stops outside the cruise terminal and is 6 euros per person return.
