No worries, just let me know if u want to know anything else ;) hope u have a great trip!

Hi ya,

The airport is about 25-30 minutes to the port by taxi & I used sun transfers last time, will probably use them again this year as they were very good & cost about £30 I think, one way. Might seem alot compared the airport shuttle which is 6 euros but its just the convenience of being taken straight from the airport right up to the ship if u are flying the same day the ship leaves. If I was flying the night before I would probably use the airport shuttle.

The port isn't far from the bottom of las ramblas but I would definitely recommend the port shuttle if u have luggage, I think this cost 3 euros each. And takes 5-10 minutes depending on how many other ships are in port.

The ship left at 6pm from what I remember but you have to be on at least 2 hours before. As its a short cruise it's nice to get on early & make the most of it :) I didn't worry about the flight being delayed etc, but others would. It definitely wasn't a problem for us. I can't really comment on Rome as I have never been to the port there but always find barcelona very easy to get around.

Hi there,

I did the 3 night weekend cruise out of Barcelona last May with a friend. Loved it!

It was all very straight forward, we arrived at Barcelona airport at about 11am (8.20 flight from stansted), jumped onto our pre-booked private transfer and were on the ship by about 12.30 :) I find that staying in Barcelona at the end of the cruise is easier, as the shuttle from the ship drops you at the bottom of Las Ramblas then you can wander up and find your hotel. I am doing a week on the epic in July & have decided on doing things this way round going by my experience last time :)

One thing I did notice was that there lots of younger people on our weekend cruise, of all different nationalities which I enjoyed. It really was a mixture of all different ages as well which was nice.

Overall definitely worth doing if you only have time for a short cruise - but we didn't want to get off after 3 days! That's why I have booked a week this year ;)

If you want to know anything else just shout
