Is this surcharge TO the cruise terminal regardless of from where you are coming from? Even directly from the airport?

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

@@judyliu5223 the surcharge, now applying to trips both FROM and TO the terminal, applies regardless of where you come from. The exception is the airport ride which, as explained in the video, is subject to a fixed fare (about to increase in 2024).

Our pleasure! The metro is an option for those familiar with the network. If you are traveling with luggage (most people boarding a cruise are), do yourself a favor and order a taxi. The impact on your whole travel budget will be negligible.

Tony, This past summer, I spent over seven weeks traveling around the Iberian peninsula, Spain and Portugal. There are many tile, cobblestone, or rough sidewalks in many city centers. Do you have a recommendation for luggage that has wheels that can handle being pulled on these surfaces? Ed

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hi Ed, not really, the choice of a suitcase is a very personal one. The better the quality, the longer the wheels will stand rough terrain. Cobblestones will always be a nuisance no matter the model you buy.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hello, as shown on the video, there are taxis waiting for passengers right outside the terminals. You will have to look for an adapted taxi that can accommodate your wheelchair. If there are none at the terminal, one of the taxi drivers can request one.

[@Harryebo6094]

Hi, apologies for the stupid question but do ferry's sail from the same terminals as cruise ships? Great tips by the way, love your easy to understand guides.

No, ferries sail from other terminals - we show them on the video.

[@tarzanmike7836]

Thanks for the great information. I had a very poor experience getting to the Barcelona airport a few years ago. The driver tried to charge 80 euros and he had turned the meter off before pulling in and the fee was just over 20 euros. When I flagged a police officer, the driver accepted my payment!

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

[@lichin11]

Here's a tip if one has multiple days available to stay in Barcelona. Book an Airbnb or something similar close to the cruise terminals, become familiar with the area while staying there, then walk or take the cheapest transportation to the cruise terminals. As usual, it always helps to pack lightly while traveling.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Thanks. In our opinion, in the case of Barcelona being close to the cruise terminal is not a game changer. Nice if you can, perfectly ok if you cannot.

[@bigfunanAmericaninGermany]

don't walk it! it took me a long time, and it was hot!! and draggin my big suitcase around... just to save a few bucks... bad idea! lol

@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal I actually walked it but didn't do to save any bucks but just didn't know it was that far away. I thought it'd be close but once I stated to walk the bridge then I didn't want to go back and wait for a taxi or find out where to take a bus and so on. later on I learned there was a shuttle bus too.

[@anthonysharp4404]

Hola, does the cruise terminal have a duty free shop where you can buy things and take on board the ship?

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Terminals 2 and 3 have small duty free shops - or at least used to have. You will probably end up paying the same price, or more expensive, than in the city.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hi there, there shouldn't be any problem, as you will disembark from the RC early in the morning and you will only be allowed to embark on the MSC cruise a few hours later. Your main issue might be where to wait in between cruise ships.

Hi there, the cruise ship will always try to sell you their outrageously overpriced products. There are always taxis waiting for cruise passengers, but as you will understand, it's a huge amount of people disembarking simultaneously and delays are meant to happen. All the best.
