It is one less bit of personal information sitting on their servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You take a bus to Castellet and walk around the small town. It is not close to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zitsky Posted October 9, 2019 Author #164 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Could be a fluke, but some of the pastries taste stale on this, next to last day. But all is not bad. I learned to make a double (triple?) cappuccino from the machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Zitsky, I've been enjoying your posts. Thank you for taking the time. Did you enjoy your Castellet and wine tour? How was the wine? We just signed up for this for our December cruise. We've been to the area before and this seemed a little different. Thanks again, Cynthia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again, Cynthia Castellet is a nice small town. Worth a visit. The winery gave us 4 wines to taste more than other places. Worth visiting once.

We didn't experience it on Viking, but on other lines we sometimes have noticed a decline in quality for some baked goods at the end of a cruise. I wonder if it has anything to do with the upcoming turnaround day? Just speculation... Again, have really enjoyed your commentary and pictures!

zitsky Posted October 10, 2019 Author #171 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Some post cruise info. We went straight from the Viking Star to the Barcelona Hilton Diagonal Mar and arrived at 10am. We were allowed to check in very early and were given access to the Executive Lounge. Check in is normally 4pm. I have no status but they told us I was the guest of the day. I suspect they tell that to a lot of people. This is a nice hotel with a view of the water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zitsky Posted October 14, 2019 Author #173 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I worried about bathroom breaks but it wasn't a problem. There were enough chances for breaks. The guides on Viking and private tours were good about stopping to use the bathroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavensFan2011 Posted October 21, 2019 #174 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Thank you for all the information! We are doing Rome to Barcelona next month. If you are now in Barcelona now, are you seeing any protests? I’ve been reading about the civil unrest & Iberia airline strikes. Lynne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
