Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted May 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Working on tying up things like reserving a car from my hotel to the port on embarkation morning (I know it's early, but the service I'm using is small so I need to make sure to book in advance.). Hotel check-out is 11. If I have the car there then to take me to the port, it would be open for checking in and stuff by that point barring something like a decontamination, right?

Langley Cruisers Posted May 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) We arrived on the early side, I'd say around 10 am, and there were porters there to accept our luggage. Pretty sure we went right into the terminal as well but do not recall actual check-in starting time. Having said that, I'm sure after 11 would be fine. :) Edited May 2, 2016 by Langley Cruisers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted May 2, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 2, 2016 We had a shuttle company come to our hotel around 10 AM to load everyone, they brought 1 bus and two vans. I wish i could recall the company we used in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZ1018 Posted May 2, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I am curious about this too since we a on the July 13th cruise on the Brilliance out of Barcelona. Do you think a car service would be cheaper than a cab? For us its just me and my wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted May 2, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) I'm not sure what a cab would run. The service I'm using is around 35 euro - it might be a little pricey, but it's a small LGBTQ-owned and run company and I feel great about using them, so it's worth it to me.

KiwiGal117 Posted May 2, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Probably depends where you are traveling from. If you are starting at a hotel, perhaps contact the hotel for recommendations and pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobal Posted May 2, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) To the OP - yes the port will be open and you will probably be able to embark straight after you check in. Barcelona is the most efficient port of any I've used As for the other people on here posting about booking cars. Taxis in Barcelona are plentiful and cheap (prices are metered and regulated). Just grab a cab when you are ready rather than feeling the need to prebook Edited May 2, 2016 by Bobal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clamett Posted May 2, 2016 #8 Share Posted May 2, 2016 We just took a cab from our hotel last Saturday to board the Vision. Cost was 20 Euros. They wouldn't let us check in at the terminal until 10:45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
