We are going on the TA from Barcelona on the Ascent in October this year. We will arrive in Barcelona about 4 days prior- we have booked a few things prior including a day trip to Madrid. Any other recommendations on tours to take while in Barcelona...we will be boarding on the 26th of October. Our excursions while on the TA are all booked through celebrity (which we prefer while on the cruise to avoid any issues with getting back on time to the ship before departure.) Thanks in advance for any recommendations you can give...even restaurant recommendations in Barcelona.

We went on the Beyond last April (transatlantic to Rome) and this year we are going on the Ascent from Barcelona back to Fort Lauderdale. We loved the Beyond and totally expect to enjoy the Ascent as much. Since it was a TA it was longer than previous cruises we took and more sea days. The staff was excellent and there were many things for us to do on the ship including additional entertainment during the sea days. Dining was good (we did 4 specialty restaurants) to break up some of the monotony of the MDR's restaurants. Both Eden and the Steakhouse were our favorites. Highly recommend the Beyond (and hopefully I can say the same after our cruise on the Ascent).
