This was out 10th cruise with NCL, and honestly after all the poor reviews we were sure this would be our last....

We arrived in BCN the morning of the cruise (9:00 AM). We took a cab to the port, and left our luggage with the porters, since it was too early to check in. We boarded the Blue bus (6.00E R/T for both of us) and headed into town. The bus drops you off at Columbus circle at the end of Las Ramblas. We took a stroll to St. Joseph's Market ate some fresh fruit and bought some Jabon, and cheese to enjoy on our balcony. With the fresh fruit NCL provided.

Check in was a breeze....if you are gold or platinum members there is no line!!! We were on board around 1:00 and into our room around 2:00PM. We were in AF category, an aft balcony. We had requested this cabin since we had stayed there in 2008. It was still wonderful. Plenty of storage, fridge, coffee maker, lighted make-up mirror, robes and a bathtub. Read more
