IanRD Posted January 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hi All DW and I are off on Spirit from Barcelona 1st March so have a couple of questions we hope you can help with. One of our ports of call is Casablanca, how safe is it to DIY or would it be better to do an organized tour. Nothing grabs us as a must see so would probably just do a tour of the old town. If we pre book speciality resturants are we right in thinking we would not have to pay the Spanish IVA tax but if we book onboard it will be added. Thanks for any help Ian & Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KeithJenner Posted January 20, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2014 You shouldn't have to pay the Spanish Tax even if you book a restaurant onboard. As the cruise leaves the EU it doesn't have the problem that some Med cruises have with regard to tax. I don't know about the safety in Casablanca, but I have heard that it isn't the nicest of cities to find your way around by yourself. We usually DIY, but I think we will probably do a tour there.

crystalspin Posted January 20, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 20, 2014 There is one other couple going on your cruise, here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1973449 Must say that is the smallest RollCall I have seen. If you and Keith join you will triple the size! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveH2508 Posted January 20, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Casablanca is a dump IMHO. The mosque is about the only thing worth seeing. I wouldn't want to DIY Casablanca. Rabat was nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
