I hate to hop on somebody else's post but I figured ya'll were giving such good advice maybe ya'll could help me. We're leaving on the 6/3 cruise and just now trying to book a room in Barcelona. We didn't know how many nights we'd need, etc until now. We'll need 5/30-6/3 so 4 nights. We'll have 2 young kids with us. Everywhere suggested is already booked and I'm afraid of booking in a sketchy neighborhood. We don't know yet what we'll be doing but I'm sure we'll do a day at the beach and maybe a couple tours. I know the kids want to do a double decker bus if they have 1. Recommendations on hotels? What area? We need affordable so not $200/night preferable.

TIA!

Our kids will be with us on the June 3rd sailing. Boys - 10 & 7.

WOW air is another Icelandic airline that operates from select cities in the US to cities in Europe via layovers in Rekjavik. Like Icelandair, they are reputable, but you may have to pay extra for your baggage, so be sure to factor that into your savings.

Thank you for your response! :) I'll check their baggage rates. We should only have 2 checked suitcases so the savings should still be good!

This is our first venture to Europe! We're on the Vista June 3rd out of Barcelona. We found a couple flights from Boston to Paris via WOW & Ar Lingus for $486 end of May. Are those airlines reputable? We wanted to spend a couple days in Paris and then take the train down to Barcelona so these flight would be perfect and great prices!

Thanks for your reply. I hadn't thought about traveling while kids are out of school. I'll have to take that in to account. We plan on leaving a good week or more before the cruise. I'll do some more research.

Hey all! Just a TIA!!!

Husband is retiring after 24 years and we're looking to do a European cruise (us and our 2 kids, 8 & 5). Of course flying commerical would be about $5,000 but we thought about flying Space A. I know with him being retired, he would be a cat 6 and getting bumped likely so very risky but if we gave ourselves a week to get there...is it an ok plan? We're price checking now so unsure where we'd leave from but found one out of Barcelona on the Carnival Vista that seems to be our price (850/pp).

So...has anybody used Space A to get to a cruise?
