WVU_Neal Posted December 13, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 13, 2016 To the best of my knowledge, there is only one busy cruise port in Barcelona. I believe there is some type of bus service to the center city. When we disembarked last September, we used a taxi for convenience sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Dreaming Posted December 13, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Our hotel was close to port and we thought we would walk. We started out and ended up grabbing a cab. Good decision! Long walk to terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John Bull Posted December 13, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Only one port for cruise ships, but it's a big one - a matter of luck where your captain parks. We walked to the port gate & wished we hadn't :rolleyes: And your hotel is near the top of Las Ramblas, a 20-minute walk (without luggage) from the port gate. I don't know whether taxis will be available at the ship - if not, take the shuttlebus then a taxi from the rank near the ho-ho buses.

chubby67 Posted December 13, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Walk down La Ramblas to the T3 shuttle bus for the cruise terminals. Check this link https://www.barcelona-tourist-guide.com/en/transport/barcelona-cruise-port.html. I think Barcelona is rather convenient for cruisers.

hawkeyetlse Posted December 13, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 13, 2016 What ship are you sailing on, what date? Smaller ships sometimes dock in a different area of the port from the big mainstream cruises. The boarding documents from your cruise line should indicate the name of the dock, and this information should also be available on the port website.

Correct - smaller ships often dock at the terminal by the World Trade Centre which is much more convenient for walking from Las Ramblas. If you are at the other larger terminal a shuttle bus runs from near the Columbus statue at the bottom of Las Ramblas; with luggage however I would take a taxi.

If you are at the other larger terminal a shuttle bus runs from near the Columbus statue at the bottom of Las Ramblas; with luggage however I would take a taxi. That would be my recommendation, too. If you don't have luggage, the shuttle bus stop near the Columbus statue is a short walk to metro and HOHO stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John Bull Posted December 14, 2016 #10 Share Posted December 14, 2016 The World Trade Centre terminal, the shuttlebus drop-point for other berths, the taxi rank, the ho-ho stop, the Columbus memorial and the bottom of Las Ramblas are all within a few hundred yards of each-other. But the Hotel Silken Ramplas is near the top of Las Ramblas, involving a walk of a mile or more. With luggage, a taxi is probably the best bet.

LolaGlobetrotter Posted January 2, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Is there more than one cruise port in Barcelona Spain.my hotel is the silken ramblas.looking for the best way to get to the cruise port.taxi or bus.thank you Hey there! To get to the cruise port from the Silken Ramblas Hotel the best way is to take a cab or if you want to pre-book a private transfer because the shuttle buses are not allowed to enter the La Rambla, only public buses and cabs. In case you want to sort everything out beforehand you can reserve the transfer easily with a travel company who is situated in Carrer Moles! On their website they give you a pretty nice overview about the transfer services they offer. Hope I could help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
