I was wrong the promenade beside the theater is still there.

I *think* they took out the hallways by the theatre.

Rooms look clean but still look the same.

The area by the alchemy looks super nice. Second pic is heroes bar.

They were on floor 2 or 3 by the stairs close to the lobby. But we went looking fir them again and now they are gone, I think. 😢

We also ran into Emeril but I didn't realize who he was until we walked away. Sigh.

Boarding was easy. Already got guy's. Ship looks great in common areas! Just dropped off bags at the room so don't know about that yet.

And we got to meet Christine Duffy

We are on board!

🤯 Wow. Super strange. Maybe the baggage crew was on strike along with security...only doing a "quiet" strike.

I don't think so. Flying through lhr to edi many times on BA, I have been on BA flights where they did have to check some passengers' carry ons because of lack of room in the overhead bins and it NEVER delayed the flight 2 hours. If it delayed it at all, it was 15-20 minutes. I think there was something else going on... Maybe they were already having the IT issues that caused 200 canceled flights over the next couple of days...

Some of the artwork from the Moco museum. Not my cup of tea, but I guess different strokes for different folks??? Some of the other artworks might get me banned if I posted pics.

Some pics from Casa Milo. Really neat place.

Before and after. Omg, food in this city is sooooo good!!! Only bad meal I have had was McDonald's. (Don't judge me. Younger son wanted to try Spain McDonald's.) Every single thing I have eaten (except McDs) has been 10 out of 10.

What I really want to know now is when we sat on the runway for two hours while they "loaded" the luggage, whose luggage did they load???

I don't ever want to hear another comment about fat Americans because this was on the menu in Spain at McDonald's:

Saw some other cruise ships but no Pride yet...

Cathedral of Barcelona. Admission including going inside and to the top for some amazing views.

Yay!!!!+

SMH @ BA. FX they find your bags.

We walked and walked and walked today. Did 4 or 5 attractions. Cathedral of Barcelona, Casa Mila, some super weird art museum that was supposed to be good forkids but was actuallyhighly inappropriate, Las rambles, Gothic area, a park next to the zoo.So pooped. Soaking my feet in our little pool. I highly recommend our Hotel Granados 83 or at least staying in the Eixample district. We were down in the tourist area today and I did not like it. Too busy. Too crowded. Way too many people. Way too much traffic.
