According to the description on RCCL's web site, this is the same excursion my husband and I took at the end of our cruise in April. It's the best way to see the city without having to worry about luggage. I posted this in another thread and the same applies in your case. After a long, exhausting flight, you will not have the energy to sightsee on your own, especially with luggage in tow.

 

The bus doesn't stop at Sagrada Familia, however. It cruises around to give you several exterior views. There's a stop at Montjuic where you will see panoramic views of Barcelona, and also a guided walking tour in the Gothic Quarter after which you will have free time to visit the cathedral and wander around on your own.

 

 

 

Caution: Keep your passport and wallet safe as there are pickpockets on the prowl here, and tired tourists who aren't paying attention are perfect targets.

Thanks! Did you get lunch on the tour?

The tour does not include lunch, but there's a place at Montjuic that sells snack food and postcards. You will have a 15-minute stop at Montjuic to take photos, enough time to also purchase goodies to tide you over.
