Thank you for the excellent information 😀

Which cruise are you on? We are doing the same but staying at H10 Metropolitian. I am trying to figure it all out like you. We are arriving early morning so I am planing an easy day because of possible jet lag. Day 1 see if hotel room is ready early. If not drop off luggage and walk La Ramblas visit the market and find someplace for an early dinner. Day 2 Sagrada Familia early entry then visit other Gaudi sites.Not sure which ones yet. Looking at Flamenco show for early evening and a nice dinner after. Day 3 Gothic walking tour is booked. Lunch after and then shopping. Day 4 leisurely breakfast then head to cruise port. Would love any recommendations for lunch or dinner restaurants. ☺️

Some rewards have wait limits and some do not. Call the NCL Casino and they can help. Also read the print on the reward you want to purchase. I am pretty sure this is a premium reward and there are specific rules that apply.

We have an overnight on our cruise scheduled for Livorno. I already have tours set up for both days we are in port. On day one we should be back at the ship around 5:30pm so not wanting to just stay on the ship I was thinking of finding a nice restaurant in Livorno for dinner probably using a cab for transportation. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good restaurant not to far from the port?

Thank you all for the information I was looking for ☺️

This question is probably posted somewhere but I could not find my answer. This is my 1st time going on European cruise. When visiting different ports in Europe, do you leave your passport in the safe on the ship or do you carry it always with you? A friend of mine says she leaves it in the safe and has a photo of it on her phone. What is the best thing to do?

How did you book the NCL transfer? Are you using NCL air? How much was it per person?

Thank you Roger! This looks amazing ☺️

Hi Roger Reading through all the messages looking for a really nice tapas bar that is open on Sundays. We are arriving Sunday September 8th at 12 noon and will depart at 11pm on NCL Escape. Its our 45th anniversary that day! We plan to take the shuttle to start at the Cathedral and then walk to the Palace. After that tapas and shopping. I read that you recommend OMBU which I see is open on Sunday. Would you have another Sunday recommendation?

We have sailed both RC and NCL. I have a cruise on NCL booked for September only because of the itinerary. NCL had all the ports I wanted compared to RC. I think the food is better on RC both in the main dining room and the specialties. You can't beat the RC oasis class ships. Central Park is our favorite place for drinks. So much for the kids to do on RC compared to NCL. The RC private island is better too. As far as pricing goes if you add in what you want for the RC cruise it comes out pretty close. Nothing is really for free with NCL as it is worked into the price.

Thank you for the info!

I was looking at this tour. How much was it per person? I don't see any prices listed on their web site. Thanks

I booked H10 Metropolitan just off Placa Catalunya and they are having a black Friday sale now Join the H10 club before you book and you will get 20% off booking this weekend only. I booked Rambla room which has the juliette balcony with the breakfast. The HOHO bus is right at the corner.

Thank Thanks! That is what I was thinking lol. I have a friend that uses her NCL points from her card to purchase the cruise next certificates and I always thought she was doing it wrong. Now I have confirmation 😉

I have a different scenario to throw out there 🤪 I have the NCL credit card and I have enough points to use to get $500 OBC. Can I use the OBC to purchase my two cruise next certs for $500 and then would I get credited back $250 to my account that ends up going back on my credit card?
