Reina del Mar Posted July 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Please can anyone explain how flights and transfers to port for Oasis of Seas in Barcelona ? Have only done cruises ex Dubai and Galveston with RCCL previously. Interested to know about boarding time, whether cabins are open on embarkation, taking wine aboard..is it just one bottle per adult in each cabin ? Disembarkation day transfers etc Also, have read that European cruises are more formal than Caribbean cruises, is this the case, in reality ? Considering a drinks' package. Have been told the prices are lowered closer to sailing date, does anyone have experience of this? Anyone have any additional, helpful information please ? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted July 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Should be the same as other transfers. Cabins should be available at 1PM but interporting may affect those times. Two bottles per cabin. Formal wear is subjective. You have to keep checking the planner for package prices - you cancel and rebuy if you see a lower price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare steamboats Posted July 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 18, 2018 It´s a 20 min cab ride to the port. They do have fixed prices - currently it´s 39 Euro from the airport to the port. For a group like yours a private mini van might be a good option. There´s a shop inside the terminal building where you can buy water and wine and take it onboard (2 bottles per cabin assuming there are 2 adults in the cabin - adults are all people over 18 on European cruises). Disembarking in Barcelona usually ends by 9:30 am. You are more flexible with a cab / private transfer as RCI has usually two time slots for airport transfers for early flight up to noon and later flights. But even with a later flight you are at the airport by 9:30 am latest. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted July 18, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Ships in the Med also allow the Stay Later option if you have a late flight- $39pp and you can stay on board till around 3pm. You still have to be out of your cabin by 8a, but you get to eat in the WJ a few more times LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted July 18, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Thank you..party of 8, (7 adults and 1 child. ) much luggage. Have asked travel agent to look into mini bus transfers for us. You can easily get two van-type taxi's ...there are many of them..even with two of us we always seem to get one. In your case you can get two. Consider the pricing taxi's vs private transportation and do what's best for you...I'll be surprised if the taxi's don't price out better, quicker & easier.
