martyap Posted July 12, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 12, 2018 We have a noon flight from BCN to JFK next October. Have not been to BCN in years and from what I have read it could be a slow process. My plan is to take the least stressful route and self disembark around 6:30am. Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted July 12, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Enjoy the cruise and don't worry about the disembarkation - you have plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'd stroll off at 8.30 - collect luggage and get in a cab and you will be at the airport by 9.15. It is a slick process at Barcelona, and there are hundreds of cabs. Although Barcelona airport is huge with a lot of retail opportunities. Not sure if that is a plus/minus for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a big deal carrying off our own luggage unless that creates a customs problem and I imagine heading off at 7:30 would be plenty of wiggle room Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted July 12, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 12, 2018 No customs at Barcelona. It is a intra-European cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen@stoneyard.co.uk Posted July 12, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I self disembarked Symphony in Barcelona which I think was 6.30 to 8.30. I trundled out of my cabin about 7.30 and it was just walk off and through the terminal. No customs or immigration. By that stage it really was just a trickle of people. Taxis were readily available. My friends did main disembarkation which was later. No problem getting off but luggage was a bit of push and shove and took a while. Luggage pick up always seems a mess in Barcelona. I would always self disembark in Barcelona. Best wishes, Stephen. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgotten that there is no customs since we are an intra-European cruise. We will self disembark by 7:30 and head to BCN and relax before our flight home.

regent218 Posted July 13, 2018 #12 Share Posted July 13, 2018 can you explain the problems your friends had? I can't handle our bags, so i must use the main disembark. we have a driver picking us up at 9 for a tour before going to the airport. what time should we get off so that we can gather our bags and be ready to meet our driver at 9am? hal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcelona is an extremely easy terminal to disembark at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
