david63 Posted May 9 #1 Share Posted May 9 Anyone have any advice or experience of embarking/disembarking at Barcelona as a turnaround port. Been through Barcelona many times but never embarking/disembarking. Also what is the arrival/check-in time for QG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggis Posted May 9 #2 Share Posted May 9 We travelled in QG to and from Barcelona last autumn. I can’t remember the exact time we were given for check-in, but it was around 12.30. We were on board soon after. Similar to Southampton, therefore. Disembarkation times depended on whether you were on a Cunard flight - if so, you remained in board until an appropriate time. (When we boarded at lunchtime some departing passengers were still leaving, which created some congestion on gangways.) if making your own arrangements -as we were- disembarkation from QG was around 8.30. We found the Barcelona terminal to be pleasant and efficient. We took a taxi there from a city hotel and a taxi to the airport on departure - again, no problems.

david63 Posted May 9 Author #3 Share Posted May 9 Thanks - we will have our own flight/hotel arrangements and will be arriving in Barcelona two days pre cruise (airline/air traffic control/weather/etc. permitting) Was it easy to get a taxi on the day or did you pre book? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggis Posted May 9 #4 Share Posted May 9 For travel to the terminal we asked our hotel to call a taxi when we were ready, and it arrived very quickly. Late morning is generally a quiet time for taxis. Leaving the terminal, there was quite a long queue for taxis, and some drivers didn't want a trip to the airport, but the line moved quickly and there was a marshal. I don't think we waited more than about ten minutes or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted May 9 #5 Share Posted May 9 We have disembarked in Barcelona but we were staying in the city so we left our luggage at the terminal to be taken to our hotel. We then caught the shuttle bus to catch a city bus to Sagrada Familia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokie Posted May 13 #6 Share Posted May 13 Back in October we had a couple of days in Barecelona before embarcation. We just got an Uber from the hotel to the port - it was very simple and efficient. We used Uber a couple of other times during the trip (both around town late in the evening and also from the airport into the city when we arrived) and it was always fine.
