Barcelona, Spain

Well, after a pleasant flight and an easy transit through Barcelona airport, and transfer to the ship.
We arrived at Barcelona cruise terminal.
In my opinion it's one of the best to sail from, and this was no exception.
From arriving at the terminal to getting on the ship took 15 mins tops.
So it was off to the Park Café for a bite to eat, then a snooze in the cabin till the muster drill, after which Maz and Sue went upstairs to a pinnacle do and Sheila and I went to the diamond lounge.
As this is the inaugural transatlantic cruise for this ship, there are hundreds of diamond and above members.
In fact there are 180 pinnacles, over 800 diamond plus members and over 1500 diamond members.
So you can imagine how busy the lounges are. In fact for the pinnacles the have opened Dazzles bar as an overflow, and the three lounges in the entertainment area on deck 4 are being used for the diamond and diamond plus members.Read more
