PORT IN BARCELONA
Taxis are lined up and cheaper than booking a connection to the ship through NCL, I've seen it posted that is will be 15 Euros, more like 30-35 Euros and be aware that they charge per bag as well so usually more than what you see on the meter. Taxi rides will be about 20 minutes. One way to save money here is to take the Blue Bus outside the terminal(approx 4 Euro)into downtown Barcelona which will drop you off in the main center. From here you can walk down the famed Las Ramblas street to the Christopher Columbus monument and grab a taxi from there which will be considerably less as it is only a 5 minute ride. Take into consideration that this cost saving method may be difficult if you are traveling with luggage, have walking difficulties or are in a time crunch. It is however a cheaper way to get to the port and lets you experience Barcelona as well.
Additional Tips:
No complaints on deck 10 with a balcony. We didn't hear a ton of noise from other rooms or the hall, I got a whiff of cigarette smoke ever so often. The rooms are pretty much the same as other cruises. I liked that they had a white duvet instead of those thin bed spreads. Storage was fine, I kind of wish I'd brought a cheap $2 pack of hangers. We had a nice bathroom with a separate door for shower and toilet with the vanity in the middle, which is different than our other cruise and was a nice touch. Room service feature is nice but maybe not as efficient as possible. Our room was always very dusty and I'm a clean freak so I would rate is a 3 for cleanliness but that's just me being too white glove clean.
