  1. We are cruising on the Spirit in January and I have been going over our online check in. We cruised this past January on the Dawn out of New Orleans and I was able to pick an arrival time. However this coming cruise out if Barcelona I don't see that we have that option. Does anyone know anything about that? Can we pick an arrival time or no? Thanks in advance

  2. As others have said it is dependent on what time your ship comes in.

     

     

     

    It also depends on what itinerary you have been on.

     

     

     

    If you are doing the Epic all EU ports customs and immigration will seem extremely laxed due to the fact you are still in the Schengen area and you will probably not be asked for your passport or any thing else for that matter. As Schengen agreement includes the free movement of people among other things.

     

     

     

    If you call at a port or start your cruise outside of the Schengen area expect customs and immigration to be beefed up when calling at your next Schengen port of call or at Barcelona.

     

     

    We are doing the Canary Islands and Morocco with round trip to Barcelona.

  3. There are several threads about this. Agreement seems to be that since you do not know your stewards likes, allergies, etc the best gift is extra cash.

     

     

    That's so true. I didn't think about that thanks [emoji3]

  4. We have been fortunate on previous cruises to have exceptional cabin stewards. I was reading in a book with tips for cruising and the author mentioned having a small gift (chocolates or the like) to give to the cabin steward. We already tip extra. I know these employees work really hard to make us comfortable and they don't get paid all that well. Any thoughts on this?
