European / Trans-Atlantic Cruise

[Cruisin' Again 86]

New to European cruises, is there anything that I need, besides our valid passports, as American citizens ? We are flying from US to Barcelona and cruising from Barcelona, for 7 night cruise then a trans-atlantic...

 

 

Thank You In Advance !!!

Depends on where you are going. Some countries may require a VISA. If you have a travel agent, ask. If not, you can check here:

Some countries in Mediterranean itineraries stop in non-European countries. Check your itinerary for Croatia or Montenegro, for instance. Almost everywhere will take euros or there will be places to get a small amount of the local currency.

If you are spending anytime in a hotel before your cruise, be sure to pack an electrical outlet adapter for your electrical appliances. If the device, such as a laptop, has it's own transformer you won't need to power adapter - just the outlet adapter.

 

I always pack a facecloth for Europe since most of the hotels don't supply one. ( I wonder how they scrub their nether-regions? :eek:)

Valid passport, as you won't be going to anywhere that would require anything else on a seven day sailing from Barcelona (pretty certain). Barcelona is lovely, just take precautions with pickpockets. Las Ramblas and the Sacred Familia cathedral are great for a day or two before your cruise. Good advice on plugs for electronics.

You're right, pack two. One for your face and one for your butt. Be sure to label them so you don't get them mixed up.:eek:

Be sure to take a credit card other or in addition to an AMEX. Many places in Europe do not accept AMEX. Visa is widely accepted and most places now want a chipped card. Be sure to notify your cards that you will be using them in foreign countries.

Many hotels give cash discounts.

Always take tissues as some public restrooms do not have paper.

Many places in Europe have bidets, thus the washing of the nether regions taken care of[emoji12]. I love the transgressions these threads take! LOL!!!
