My husband and I arrived in Barcelona with our two adult children and met up with six other family members two nights prior to our cruise. We stayed at Hotel Sixtytwo, which is centrally located and makes it possible to walk to many of the sights. We had a family room with two bedrooms & two baths. While there, we visited La Pedrera and took a half-day tour of the city that included Sagrada Familia, the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar, and the Gothic and Jewish quarters just to name a few. There is so much to see in Barcelona, and we plan to return for a longer visit.
Embarkation Day:
We used Ziptransfers to transport us from the hotel to port. The driver was on time and skillfully dodged traffic to get us there as quickly as possible. We arrived around 11:30 am.
As mentioned earlier, we made the odd design work but would much rather have had a separate bathroom than having the shower on one side and the toilet on the opposite side of the cabin entrance with frosted glass sliding doors and the sink basically at the foot of the bed. The sink was so small that when you washed your hands, you almost touched the bottom of it. It reminded me a little of the spit sink in the dentist office. You could actually sit on the bed while brushing your teeth. My husband and I are both tall, and our feet hung over the edge of the mattress, but the bed itself was comfortable. There was plenty of closet space, drawers, and storage for everything. The empty luggage fit under the bed easily. I can't imagine three people sharing this space. Sleeping on the odd-shaped sofa would be difficult. The lighting was terrible, especially for putting on makeup.
