  1. If sharing a taxi to port saving is 20€ on 39€ fare. Asking people in line and finding someone going to same destination is unlikely. However once I found people (who took same flight and going on same cruise) to share transfer on roll call forum. But that was for much more expensive transfer between Gatwick and Southampton. 

  2. If you are going on Air Transat they are not in a rush. And not even disclosing why they are late. Last I took them they were 3 hrs late (arrived close to 4pm) which made cruise passengers scramble to get to port on time. Would've been a good case for cancellation/interruption insurance.

     

    As far as Camp Nou goes if they arrive on 

    time it takes at least 30-45 min to disembark. So again taxi to stadium, wait and then port might work. It's pricey but doable. 

  3. I can see two options: either be the first to check into the cruise (may be around noon) and then go to Camp Nou or take Renfe train from T2 terminal to Sants station, leave luggage there, do the tour, come back and then cab to port. Renfe takes T10 ticket (10 rides for 10.2€) that later can be used on metro to go to Camp Nou and back.

  4. If cruise company provides shuttle it's about 30 min o/w to Plaza Moya (which is may be 10 min walk to Guggenheim and 20-25 min to old Town). Price in 12-15€. Closest metro is about 30 - 40 min walk from port. And then another 30 min train ride to center of Bilbao. Taxi is 25-30€ ballpark o/w.

  5. Barcelonetta is metro station and neighborhood name. Beach is the same, starting (or ending) at W hotel and stretching to Casino Barcelona. Officially has two names: Barcelonetta and San Sebastian but it's the same stretch. IMHO it's not great, way better beach short train ride away: in either direction from Barcelona. 30 min will get one to Sitges.

  6. High speed AVE train is a better and faster option for getting from central Barcelona to central Madrid. Lots of options (up to 2 per hour).  Plain ticket may be cheaper but considering getting to and from airports and luggage fees that may not be the case.

  7. If one needs more than cana ( which is probably close to half pint) next size is jarra (close to a pint). 2 canas will always cost more than one jarra. 100 Montaditos chain has very cheap beer, last year was 1.5€ for jarra of Cruzcampo.
