1stEuropecruise Posted May 23, 2009 #6 Share Posted May 23, 2009 After doing MUCH research, I figured that, rather than taking a chance on getting ripped off by a taxi, we can take the AeroBus from the airport to Catalunya and then take the Metro to a stop very near our Hotel (Acta Millenni) called Paral-lel which is only about 1/2 mile from the Christopher Columbus monument. From there the Blue Bus takes you to the cruise ports! All that travel both ways will cost less than a cheap taxi ride one way-I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you willing to drag all your luggage on buses and the metro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From there the Blue Bus takes you to the cruise ports! All that travel both ways will cost less than a cheap taxi ride one way-I think! For what it's worth, we arrived several weeks ago, on a beautiful April day, and decided instead of taking a taxi, to take the aerobus to Catalunya, and then walk to the Columbus monument. The weather was perfect, it was early in the morning and Las Ramblas was empty, and had no difficulty whatsoever pulling our 2 suitcases and 1 carryon. We didn't rush, enjoyed the stretch after 71/2 hours on an airplane, got to see what Las Ramblas looks like before the crowds appeared, and saved some money! We took the port shuttle bus at Columbus monument right to our ship. No problem or hassle, if walking with luggage is not a problem for you. (BTW, we're in our mid 60's.):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stEuropecruise Posted May 24, 2009 #9 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I guess it depends on how much luggage you have:D My wife and I are mid 40's and 50, and pack extremely light. Glad to hear a couple in their 60's had no trouble with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambs2 Posted May 25, 2009 #11 Share Posted May 25, 2009 We were on a 21 day B2B cruise (28 days all together) and are in our mid to late 50's. Purposely chose a hotel in Barcelona that we could walk to port bus stop from, and then got aboard - and we had five bags! Fortunately we walk four miles every day for exercise and lift some weights - we found this a great way to stay in shape for vacations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGuy25 Posted May 25, 2009 #12 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Great port map!!! Does anyone know if Princess (Ruby Princess in July) always uses one specific dock in Barcelona or does it just depend on what's available when their ship is in port?
