A little about us first, we are Americans, currently on sabbatical in Italy. We are living in a one bedroom apartment outside of Milan. We chose the NCL Jade cruise for the ports and especially to see the pyramids. We did not know if we would like cruising and took a big chance. We read Cruise Critic daily from January on until time to leave. We signed up for private tours, read updates and information about cruising on the Jade. It was great to meet people online before even getting to the ship!

We flew to Barcelona via Lufthansa which allows 2 bags per person free of charge up to 44 lbs. It is an hour flight so we did not have to deal with jetlag and were energetic when we landed. We wanted to check into our hotel first thing to unload our bags. We rode the blue Aerobus from Airport Terminal 1 to Plaza Catalunya, buying a ticket with a small bill from the driver. We asked the driver who spoke a little English, where to get off for our hotel's address and it turned out to be a short ride.

The Plaza Catalunya is a major connection point to the Metro subway and in the direction for our hotel. We purchased our subway ticket from a machine downstairs which had an English language option. We bought a couple single tickets with euros, but you can use credit card. It was mid day and we did not see any one lingering around underground.
