MNcruisingcouple Posted August 10 #1 Share Posted August 10 Booked our first TA and second VV cruise on the Scarlet Lady for November. We are leaving out of Rome and our first stop is Barcelona. I'm looking for any help to figure out where Virgin docks in Barcelona so that we can plan our shore excursion pick up. Or if you could point me where to find that info on the website or app?

Rare cantgetin Posted August 11 #7 Share Posted August 11 We've been on VV in Barcelona 4 times. For us, it has been 2 of each and they have not been sequential. I think VV prefers WTC--it is closer to town, cheaper for us, and VV made a big deal f being one of the few ships that can use it. Reality is that they are about 2 miles apart, but taxis, etc. have an added fee to enter the Moll area and it is too far to walk to pubic transportation or into town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNcruisingcouple Posted August 11 Author #8 Share Posted August 11 Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like there is a clear answer. Maybe I'm not seeing it, but I can't find a map in the VV app that shows where we will be docked. If we end up being at the further dock, is there a port shuttle available to get out to the main road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last step is to get an arrival time. Once you’ve done that you’ll get the information I added above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant Lady sailings won’t allow any steps to be done, but I’ve got 5/6 done on all my sailings on Scarlet & Resilient coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I closed the app and reopened it, now it shows the terminal arrival time box with the "view map" button. However that's just for the departure port, not all the stops. Barcelona is one of our stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our cruises, cost has ranged from free to $5; I'm guessing that when it was free, the cruise line had paid for it. The terminal arrival time that people showed you above is for when your departure port is Barcelona. If I understood, you are boarding in Rome and BCN is a port of call.

That was very helpful. Yes, we board in Rome and Barcelona is our first port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had assumed it was departure from Barcelona. There is no way of knowing exactly where they will berth at day ports, but I would assume it’s the World Trade Centre.
