Will be in Barcelona for two and a half days (3nights) pre-cruise.  Looking to schedule an itinerary … realistically knowing we won’t see it all.

Staying at H10 Catalunya Plaza 

 1. Midday arrival, so for a half day, thinking of just wandering that area depending on jet lag.

2. 1st full day….

a city tour(suggestions??) to get acquainted with the city then a nice dinner

3.  2nd full day…

early tour of Sagrada Familia then Gothic Quarter? easy walk? Taxi?

4. 3rd day noonish

head to cruise port after leisure morning ( coffee/breakfast on the plaza)

Thanks for suggestions!

 

If you don't feel jet lag, you can visit Placa Catalunya on that day. Then next morning, either get a private tuktuk tour or a guided city tour from https://gowithguide.com/spain/barcelona to get acquainted with the city properly. The next day for Sagrada Familia, you should buy tickets in advance from https://sagradafamilia.org/en/tickets, or else you won't be able to get in. After Sagrada Familia, head to the Gothic Quarter. It’s an easy walk from there.

If you plan to disembark around 7:30 am, booking a train between 10-11 am should give you ample time to get through customs and catch a taxi to the station.

I am not familiar with your camera models but for reference, the images from the Iceland part of our 2019 Ireland/Iceland trip were shot with the 24mm-105mm zoom a bit over 90% of the time.

 

Lots of big scenery.

That's a great take

It looks like you had so much fun. 

I made a small travel plan. I am also looking for these ports, Costa Maya and the Yucatan. Someone please let me know what are the other attraction I can get around these? Also, What's the cruise the select. Budget isn't an issue as long as the trip is nice enough. Btw, I was checking an article regarding which places to visit https://gowithguide.com/blog/tourism-in-mexico-statistics-2023-all-you-need-to-know-5248 and Puerto Vallarta seems a good place to check out. Are there any recommended activities  apart from snorkelling and water sports?

I am doing an aurora cruise and I will need a tripod.  Any suggestions for one that is light and easy to pack.  I would like to keep my costs down as I would not use one much for most of my photography.  Also and ideas for a light ball head.

You can check out Peak Design Travel Tripod, it's made of carbon fibre which is lightweight. Check this article, they have mentioned about other tripods also https://theworldpursuit.com/best-lightweight-travel-tripods/ 

@ajtraveler66 how was your trip there? I am planning to visit there in next February. I would like to know some details. Anyone else visited there recently? 

I think in some cruise ship you can personalize you menu 

How many countries you have travelled so far? 

I am planning one for probably next January or February 

Even I also got curious about what you're trying to find. I dig up google myself too https://nypost.com/2023/10/25/business/luxury-cruise-diverted-to-help-in-rescue-after-deadly-cargo-ship-collision-off-german-coast/ are you talking about this?
