- čas přidán 15. 08. 2023
- Many cruise lines begin or end their cruises in the fantastic Mediterranean city of Barcelona, Spain. I have cruised there with Royal Caribbean, NCL, MSC, Costa, and Virgin Voyages, to name a few! Let me show you the neighbourhood and area I recommend you stay, check out a few hotels and highlights, and show you how easy it is to get to the port with the cruise bus. #barcelona #cruiseship #cruise

My recommendation for everybody (not only from the U.S., but also from Europe) who starts a cruise in Barcelona: extend your stay in Barcelona for at least 3 days before or after the cruise so you can enjoy this great city. For people from the U.S., I recommend to look for a 4 stars hotel. Be aware that Spanish 4 stars are on a level that you would rate 3 stars in other countries, especially e.g. in the U.S. or Germany.
Hello, can you tell us what hotel you stayed at? Thank you in advance...
Thanks Morgan for all your videos!!!
I think you gave excellent instruction on how to get to the port bus. I appreciated that you mentioned landmarks to help orient oneself. DANKE
Thank you Morgan for showing us those must-know points in Barcelona to make it easier to board your ship💖
I consider all the hotels you mentioned to be very affordable. The one you're staying at being the least expansive. Thanks for that. Now, can't wait for the chibichewbakka train video.
The rates vary greatly depending on the time of the year.
I have been to Barcelona a couple of times, with the last time in 2019 on Sky Princess sailing to Fort Lauderdale. I stayed at the Leonardo Hotel and it was nice, although they did have an amazing breakfast available. I just walked the distance from hotel to cruise port , but I will say it was about 2 1/2 to 3 miles. This was in November and the morning was cold, so it helped not being a sweaty mess by the time I got to cruise port, especially dragging a roller bag along, and it was good to get some extra steps in just before a cruise anyway.
Cruising from Barcelona in October! How did you know I needed this video?!?! 😂 lol love your content! ❤ thanks so much! X
What cruise? I’m on a transatlantic in October
@machellep1 yeahhh!! Me too with Royal Caribbean! Its our first cruise! 🤣
Thanks for posting this. It well help for the Transatlantic cruise I am going on in October
Carnival Freedom ?
@@machellep1 yes
Very helpful! Thank you for putting all the effort into a step-by-step guide. We're looking forward to our cruise leaving Barcelona this July
Pickpockets in Barcelona in the metro also. Be careful. A woman unzipped my backpack on an escalator. I turned before she took anything thankfully.
La Sagrada Familia is also a key spot for pickpockets. The pickpockets are very good at what they do. If you're at an outdoor cafe, keep a very close eye on purses and packages!
Thanks for the information and the landmarks! I'm staying in Barcelona for a few days (near the Plaça de Catalunya) and then boarding an NCL cruise in November, so I appreciate seeing how to get to the cruise port.
Have fun!
Thank you for the information! Well done and at a pace I can comprehend.
I'm glad I could help!
We arrive in Barcelona a few days before our cruise in October. Can't wait!
Carnival Freedom ?
Symphony OTS
Thanks for putting out this video!
Good information. Thanks Morgan
Great video, enjoy your cruise.
Thanks for the very informative tour of cruise port area
Another of your well balanced videos providing both useful information and amusing chat.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but after watching your videos I always feel relaxed & upbeat the way one does after a chatting with a dear friend (please conveniently disregard that fact the conversation is totally one sided, and we can hardly be classified friends since you have no reason to know that I exist or am watching).
I just wanted to commend you on presenting in what I would describe as a very natural style, peppered with a delightful sense of humour, and suitable for anyone of any age by avoiding the pitfalls of offensive or vulgar language, or inappropriate stereotyping that might make any viewers uncomfortable.
I enjoy your videos regardless of subject matter and content, just because there is almost always something to make me smile.
Or perhaps it is simply because you were the 1st CZcams channel I subscribed to, and I'm told that one never forgets their 1st!!!
Thanks Morgan! Hope it cools off.❤
OMG Morgan, thank you so much for the Step by Step instructions. Barcelona is a Bucket List so now I know what to do. Thanks man! Fred San Diego Ca.
Hi Morgan, thank you for a very usefull video. I'm cruising from Barcelona in November on the Costa Toscana. I'm staying right on la Rambla, halfway the Columbus statue and la Boqateria.
Very helpful video thanks Morgan. Love the Columbus invented the technique... line. How very true. Captain Cook must have followed his copy book.
Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you Morgan we are cruising out of Barcelona next month very much appreciated as neither of us have been to Barcelona before .
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the Super Chat! Are you planning a trip to Barcelona?
October ! Transatlantic from Barcelona, so thanks for the info.
Nice!
You do a BEAUTIFUL job explaining your process and your visuals are super helpful! I'm an international flight attendant and I've been all over the place, but I still look at videos like yours when I'm traveling with my spouse and don't have the benefit of the limo services I have on the job. You've really saved me a ton of added work in preparing for our Costa Smeralda cruise starting in Barcelona this November. It's meant to end in Savona, but we plan to call ahead and let them know we'd like to disembark in Civitacherricola because we'll need to fly home from FCO to EWR anyway. If you have any tips on leaving a cruise early, do share! ❤
Another great video! How about a video on the ways to get from airport to hotel or port??? I'll be on Celebrity Infinity in November doing med for 12 days out of Barcelona... Thanks Morgan, stay safe..
Great tips
Keep it up
We’ve been before
Nice cruise bus setup now
We’ll be coming from Malaga via train station
Nice mini view of Barcelona
Safety key is important
My wife had her purse picked on the Metro funicular
Happens all the time
I boarded the MSC Europa on August 4th in Barcelona. I wish I had bumped into you to say hi. Nice helpful video.
Barcelona, in August, ughhhhh. Toooo hot. Hope you had fun. My son and his family live near there and we can never visit them in the summer. Way too hot for us. Often over 30C.
I just saw your video in Barcelona. We are ending our Greek Island cruise in Barcelona and we will be staying 3 nights at the Leonardo hotel. So glad you gave it a 👍. You never know if you're booking a good hotel. Thanks. Enjoy your cruise. Love your channel.
What a coincidence! I hope you enjoy it, (and your cruise).
That was very interesting seeing theHotels you have stayed in and near the Bus & Cruise terminal 😊.
Had few Neighbors visit the city ,loved it ,but evening/ Night time was an whole other experience😮
Plus 2 of them sadly got pick pocket on the Tram 😢 dispite all this they still enjoyed their time.
Bit shaken up .
There were quite a few cruise ships in , i can imagine how busy that was in full season 🫣 ,wise idea to take a Taxi( indeed if you can share bring the costs down 😊)
Have you got any more cruises booked ?
Thank you for this!
Glad I could help! When are you going to Barcelona?
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuidesaugust! So excited
I hope you have a great time!
You need to try Casa Camper Barcelona! It is a wonderful hotel close to everything
Thanks for the tip!
I heard that Barcelona is not going to let ship use this port closed to La Rambo
Great video Morgan! We are doing a Transatlantic in March of 2025 and plan to go to Barcelona a few days early.
Does UBER exist in Barcelona, or should we just take a cab?
How's the weather there in January
I heard that Barcelona has changed the cruise port a bit, the ships are now docking further outside the city, depending on the size of the ship. Great video.
Really? We boarded the Symphony of the Seas and Wonder of the Seas there last year and they were in the same place. Maybe it's really recent?
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides Yes, very recent, I will be finding out end of October, thankfully only 2 other ships will be in port that day, I will be cruising on the smallest one. LOL
Headed to Barcelona for an NCL Mediterranean cruse in Aug 2024 , airfare is inlcuded & arranged by NCL. Here are my questions (some are probably trivial) : 1) There's only 1 airport in Barcelona? 2) Only 1 cruise port in Barcelona? 3) Best option from the airport to the hotels (we'll be arriving 1 day early then the next day head to the port) ? 4) Best option to exchange US dollars to Euros? Thanks...
Morgan, another great video!! The marketplace that you should look looks really interesting. Mediterranean cruise is something that I am interested in doing in the future I like that you included the bus information to get to the port. I’ve been at on several cruises out of Fort Lauderdale and the shuttle to get to the airport at the cruise is always chaos. So one time when I had an early flight, I walked over to a wedding taxi who took me to the airport for a dollar more than the shuttle! Got there in plenty of time 😮
10:29 Hey, Christopher Columbus *finally* did something useful for humanity! Wow! /s
What is the name of the market you said your hotel was close to? Was it Mercado del la Boqueria?
That‘s the one!
Tangent.. 😂 Are any of the venues from 92 Olympics still there and in service? Inquiring minds are curious. Ok Back to the video. 😂
They are!
Just make sure you don’t share a cab with the kid with “a lotta poop”! 🤣
Poor Clemens! I still wonder what happened.
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides 🤣
Walken!
Anyone else want confirmation that the hotel has AIR Conditioning 😂
They do! ✅
Yeah Chocolate in your teeth, ok if that is what you say!! LOL
