Sean, I’m not sure which port, but I have found that if you tell your cab driver the line and the name of the ship they are able to take your there pretty easily. It is kind of one big port, but I think there are two different ways to get to the different areas, so if you want to know for sure before you leave, I’d e-mail MSC or check your cruise documents to see exactly where your ship will be docked.

Since I first posted this article I have found several more resources for accommodations. The first is the old standbye, VRBO.com and a similar site specific to Barcelona, www.rentalsbarcelona.com/. Both of these sites have great listings for apartments or flats with kitchen and laundry at lower rates than a hotel.

Thank you so much Jaqueline!! We expect Barcelona to be a wonderful departure port for us. We’ve never been to Spain, but in trying to find a bit of information about hotels and Flamenco shows, I’ve corresponded with several very friendly people already.

We are very much looking forward to the cruise and hope to have our cabin selection, air transportation and hotel arrangements booked soon.

Thanks Jacqueline! We haven’t booked the cruise yet, but expect to in the next couple weeks.

Time to start breaking out the Spanish courses once again as its been many years since I have spoken the language. The kids say they want to learn too, so it should be a good cultural experience for them.

When we finalize, we will likely post back here for ideas on what to do in Barcelona as we will spend a couple of days there before the cruise. We will definitely take a look at your recommendations

Thanks!

Ooh, Barcelona is one of my favorite cities – it might be expensive now, especially with the low dollar, but it is worth it. Be sure to spend some time just wandering around the Barri Gotic and stop into the huge Boqueria Market, and of course there is all the Gaudi architecture! If it is a nice day, a picnic up in the Parc Guell can be fun, or if you are soccer fans, a visit to Camp Nou or an FC Barcelona game is an awesome experience. Also, the fresh seafood restaurants in the Barceloneta quarter are amazing!

Bon voyage and have fun!
