We travelled 'overland' from Manchester, UK to Barcelona on 18th / 19th May 2010 to ensure the volcanic ash cloud did not disrupt our flight from the UK or to Spain. That trip is a completely different story! Stayed overnight at the Villa Emilia hotel in Barcelona, very nice boutique hotel. www.hotelvillaemilia.com
Thursday, 20th May
Caught a taxi from the hotel to the port 'Moll D'Adossat' at around 11:00, cost approximately €20 as the Barcelona taxis have a fixed charge, cost per KM and then extras for baggage etc.
Great location on the Starboard hump near the elevators. Easy access to Royal Promenade 2 decks down, Windjammer 4 decks up. No noise. Great view from hump balcony. Compact bathroom, although ample storage in the closet and drawers for 2 people.
