At certain holiday times, Princess would give a free 5% (usually) or 10% (more rare, but always was one on M Day) when purchasing GCs.  I used to book a lot of them on MD if we had a future cruise to pay for. Long gone now, however.

Thanks for reply.

I'm waiting for the Mother's Day gift card deal.  Do we know if that is still happening?

Enjoyed reading everyone's reviews.  A few questions.  What is the difference between Your Lucky, and Relax Day.  Can anyone please provide the specific name (or link) for the tour they took?  Thanks.

Sorry to add a little more to this question.  What if you add parking?  What is the cost (2 weeks), and how much of a struggle to get to terminal.  Thanks.  

I have no problem doing it.  Our current cruise my wife and I have saved over $1000 total after rebooking 3 times!!  I check price by putting the current cruise as a saved cruise, and checking a room in the same category every week or so.  

Her website does not mention price.  What did anyone pay for the tour?  Thanks.

What was the cost?  Sounds like a good way to see things, and not do HOHO.  I have looked her up on internet and there was no rates listed.

Rather than start a new thread I figured I'd ask my question here first.  We are sailing the Enchanted Princess in the Mediterranean this summer.  My question is when is the best dinner time that works with the shows?  Or when are the shows so we can schedule a set dinner time around them?  Thanks.

H10 Catalunya Plaza

Taxi is the best idea.

From continental hotel,  it cost us 12 euros.

Are you recommending Taxi from hotel to airport instead of Aerobus?

Taxi.

I assume there will be plenty of them right there at the dock after we go through everything.  Any idea on cost?  Set price?  Anything to avoid?

We are staying at the H10 Catalunya Plaza when we fly to Barcelona. In asking about options for getting from the airport to the Catalunya Plaza (where our hotel is), several people recommended the Aerobus. It looks pretty simple to do but I have another question about luggage storage in the bus. DH and I will both have a large rolling suitcase plus a backpack as we are going on a 2 week cruise from Barcelona. Does the Aerobus have a place to store luggage in a compartment under the bus? I’ve been told there is a space for luggage inside the bus in sort of a “luggage corral” (for lack of a better description) but I am a little concerned with having to carry our big suitcases up the steps into the bus and then down an aisle to the storage place. Any tips or advice from those who have used the Aerobus? Thanks in advance for your help.

Also wondering about specifics on luggage and the Aerobus.  Thanks.  For us from hotel to airport though.  Also, about how long does it take.  We have a 11:15AM flight.  I'm figuring an early breakfast and catch the bus around 8.  Thoughts??  To early??

Thank you to all for your input.  We have booked our night at H10 Catalunya.  Will use Aerobus to get to the airport.  Can anyone share experience and advice on how best to get to hotel from port?  Thanks in advance!!

Looked at their price..staying with continental...much less...

Where is Continental in relation to H10 Catalunya Plaza?  Is there an Aerobus pickup near by?

Arriving in Barcelona after a Princess cruise on 9/9.  Looking to book a hotel for the night before flying home the next day.  Like to see a little and get a feel of Barcelona that day we arrive.  Have read through the pages here.  Great information.  I had been planning on Royal Passeig de Garcia hotel.  Now not so sure.  One of my concerns is economical transport from port to hotel, and hotel to airport. Thanks to these pages I am now aware of Aerobus.

I am liking the Continental Palacetta and H10 Catalunya Plaza options.  Does Aerobus service both?  We have a noon flight.  Is one better than the other for getting a flavor of Barcelona?  We were in the Las Ramblas area for a night our last time in Barcelona.  What are some tips on getting from the port to the hotel.  I look forward hearing what everyone has to share.

Thank you all for the information. 

Just realized there is no Internation Cafe.  Where can we go for specialty coffees?  Don't want straight coffee from Horizon Court.  Would like ground coffee with flavors.  Thanks.

Just beginning the planning stages for our Sept 2022 Oktoberfest cruise with Princess.  Fly into Heathrow the day before.  Looking for simplest way to get to Southampton.  Looks like National Express is the way to go.  Any other suggestions?  Don't want to drive.  Any guidance on getting from plane to bus and paying for same.

Reading through this thread enjoy hotel input.  Any thoughts on White Star Tavern.  I do see they are closed until February 2022.  Also, how do you get from National Express stop in Southhampton, to any hotel?  Thanks.

Yes.

February 2021.  Keep thinking it would be better for me to cancel than them.  Final payment not that far away.

It is for 2021 summer cruise and cruise tours.

Thanks.  That explains it.  Always looking for a deal!!

I called Princess yesterday to get in on this.  They said you need to receive the email to have the offer.  The rep could not tell me what was needed to receive the offer.  She did n't even think they were sent out yet. 😳  WE have a cruise in Feb 2021 that is all but paid for.  I'll pay, get 10%, and $200 any day.   Anybody figure out what id needed to get this email?

How crowded does it usually get?

Another upgrade.  10 day from Ft. Lauderdale Feb 18.  From an inside sideways (C322) to an obstructed balcony (E528).  Couldn't turn it down. A $815/person upgrade at no cost to us!!!  This is our first upgrade after four sailings.

Got an upgrade notice.  Semi-obstructed.  Probably a life boat.  Anyone have picture or suggestion.
