AVAD Posted March 8, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2011 We will be returning on a cruise in Barcelona on a Sunday morning and my TA says we should take the cruiseline bus back to the airport because the fare is more on Sundays. Does anyone know how much a taxi costs on Sunday from the pier to the airport for 2 people with 1 bag each?? The pier transfer is $30 each.

hkto Posted March 8, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2011 $60 is 40 to 41 euros; taxi may be around 35 on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickey 88 Posted March 8, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Take a taxi, for heaven's sake! If you try the bus, you'll sit waiting for some time while they try to get more people to fill up the coach. A cab may be a few Euros more, but the privacy may help your peace of mind.....:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted March 8, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Waiting for those transfer buses is terrible! Just get off and take a taxi! Even if there is a Sunday supplement I doubt if the taxi fare will be more than 40euro($60 IF the exchange rate is 1.5)give or take a euro or 2.You deserve a comfy ride to the airport since the flight home is long and UNcomfy!

Kerry's Girls Posted March 8, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Not sure what the TA is thinking. No reason to pay $60 for the hassle of the cruise bus when getting your own taxi would cost about the same (and possibly less). Best, Mia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jms Posted March 8, 2011 #6 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hi Our flight from BCN is at 8:45AM - ship docks at 5AM. Will there be taxis outside that early?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmaster Posted March 8, 2011 #7 Share Posted March 8, 2011 FWIW for our ship two years ago we saw taxi's there all morning. I think the earliest I looked was around 7am. Long line of taxis and also people waiting for them so plan accordingly. HiOur flight from BCN is at 8:45AM - ship docks at 5AM. Will there be taxis outside that early??

Seatravelers Posted March 9, 2011 #8 Share Posted March 9, 2011 HiOur flight from BCN is at 8:45AM - ship docks at 5AM. Will there be taxis outside that early?? Yes, the taxis will be there that early. By 6:30am most people have made there way off and to the airport. DO NOT take a bus for this early flight, you must take a taxi and with less traffic on Sunday be at the airport in plenty of time. We usually get there by 7:30am. Wish all the ports were as easy to get thru as BCN! Have a great trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eh2zed Posted September 2, 2011 #10 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Take a cab. Won't be much more if any more and no cattle call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quince Posted September 4, 2011 #11 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I'd recommend that you check how many other ships are in port that Sunday. If there are a few, the taxi line could be very long. I read on one review from the Magic that people waited for almost 1 1/2 hours in the cab line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolgro Posted September 5, 2011 #12 Share Posted September 5, 2011 In 2010 we took a cap, there where plenty off them and coast us about 35 euro, and in about 30 minutes we arrived at Barcelona airport, very easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcook Posted September 5, 2011 #13 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Not sure what the TA is thinking. There is no commission on a taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
