Disembarkation - YC - Help figuring out timeline

[LizzGo]

According to itinerary, our ship -Fantasia- arrives in Barcelona at 9 am. Is that actual arrival or disembarkation?

 

We are in YC and intend to take a cab to Sants station to catch a train. I need to pre-book train tickets. Can anyone help me figure out timing, as in reasonable time to book the train? We are not in a hurry, but also do not want to hang around Sants station for hours. There is one other ship in port that day. TIA

Hi. We just disembarked Seaview in Barcelona about two weeks ago. Our arrival time was 9am as well but our YC butlers had us off the ship, bags collected and in a cab by 8:30am. Our flight out was at 11:40 and we sat around the airport for a couple of hours waiting for our flight. Our butlers told us disembarkation really depends on what time they clear the ship but advised that it typically happens between 8 and 8:30.

We did not disembark in Barcelona but arrived on 09/07/2018 at 7:00am on Seaview in Barcelona. The ship arrived in every port 30 to 60 minutes prior to scheduled time.

Do bear in mind that any delay in clearance from the port authorities to dock and disembark or adverse weather could delay you.

Thanks, very helpful. Did the butlers arrange for a cab?
