I Luv Crusin Posted January 24, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I'm on the May 19th Liberty cruise out of Rome. I was thinking of doing two tours in Barcelona. One is in the morning from 10- 1pm, the other 1:30 to 4:30pm. In your experience is there time to get from one to the other tour? I'd hate to miss the 2nd tour if we were late! Thanks!

I Luv Crusin Posted January 26, 2006 Author #2 Share Posted January 26, 2006 No one has tried to do back to back tours with Carnival in the Med? I was hoping to get a practical answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTMak Posted January 26, 2006 #3 Share Posted January 26, 2006 We did Barcelona on our own. A truly spectacular city. Very easy to get around. Did Gaudi (amazing) on our own. For a couple of bucks (maybe 4 or 5) Carnival has a bus that takes you to the beginning of La Ramblas (sp?) the main street in Barcelona. Put on your walking shoes and you will have a fabulous time. We walked all the way to the Gaudi cathedral, then took a taxi back. Went to the old city, the Gaudi apartment building (a must see), the shops, the street performers --- amazing. Stop for lunch at a little cafe. Order a bottle of local wine. Watch the world go by. The shops along Las Ramblas are great. Stopped in a wine store. Got 2 bottles of 3 Euro "Chuck" )no label, but very good. Not the only wine we bought.) There is an incredible market about a quarter mile up La Ramblas on the left that has to be seen to be believed. Stopped at this little restaurant for Tapas and wine. My view: you don;t need an excusrsion in Barcelona. Get a map, do a bit a research, and do it on your own. It's not the money -- it's just a lot more fun. In any case you will enjoy immensly. Have a great cruise!!!! CTMaK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsinnj Posted January 26, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 26, 2006 by the time you hit spain you will start to run out of gas on the cruise, 12 nights is great but it is long. I would do one tour and then give your self some time to shop etc in the downtown area. We were on the Liberty last August/Sept and it was great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
