  1. Hi everyone,

     

    Firstly, thanks in advance for any information or recommendations you may have...

     

    We are currently scheduled to arrive in Barcelona at 8am and depart at 5pm on MSC Seaview on 27 May. I believe the ship holds ~4,000 people at capacity. In an ideal world, I'd like to plan a DIY day where I pre-book timed tickets for Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell and Casa Battlo. I would probably want to do a guided tour/audiotour inside 2 of these sights. So here are my questions...

     

    • When should my first timed entrance ticket be, knowing that thousands of people will probably be queueing to disembark and then queueing for a taxi at the port? It's my understanding that it's not a fast walk to any of these sights from where MSC docks.
    • Is it reasonable to plan for two hours at each of these 3 sights and 30 minutes to taxi between them?
    • If you had to choose one of these sights to walk through without a guide/audiotour (in the interest of time), which would it be?

     

    Again, thanks very much!

  2. I was on the Disney Magic for the TCM cruise. My husband and I are seasoned cruisers with more than 30 cruises completed. We had never been on a Disney cruise and we were looking forward to being on the Magic as well as the TCM program.

    We did not have a choice of cabin when we signed up for the cruise as there were few left. We were assigned to 2626. It was the first time we traveled with no balcony, but were quite pleased with the room. Until 4 am. It is directly below the kitchen. The moving and crashing began then and continued. The next morning my husband went to guest services. Later in the day a representative of the guest services department came to our cabin to apologize and said the kitchen had been advised of our concern. (Who was he kidding. Food preparation for over 1000 passengers was not going to be done differently because one cabin was complaining) We couldn’t be moved because there were no empty rooms in “our price category”. We called guest services at 4, 5 and 6 am that morning. Two nights and little to no sleep. We went to see guest services again and were advised that they had spoken to the kitchen again. Later in the day we received a visit from the guest service representative with the solution, which we accepted. We now could now use 2626 during the day and 7009 (an inside cabin on the other end of the ship) to sleep. We were desperate and so each night we packed our bag and headed for our sleeping cabin.
