We travelled to Barcelona on an easyjet flight from Belfast. It was part of the package offered by the travel agent and worked smoothly for us.
When we arrived in Barcelona airport we picked up our luggage and were greeted by RCI staff.They led us to another area of the airport - where we were surprised to complete port check-in. This didn't take very long and we were then taken to the lovely cool coach to travel to the ship. Our luggage was taken to a large truck and transported separately to the ship.
We were awed by the size of the ship as the coach drove us into the port. Having already completed the check-in process and been given our seapass cards we passed through security quickly,straight onto the ship. The staff were friendly and welcoming, informing us that our staterooms would be available at 1 pm. We decided to go to the Windjammer for lunch - it was busy enough to have a buzz but not too busy to find a seat. The food was attractively presented and much appreciated by four hungry travellers.
Cabin - 7644 on the hump , good balcony, not windy, bed comfortable, good storage in wardrobe, only issue is wardrobe door and bathroom door too close together.
