Arriving Early

[jkbec101]

We want to arrive in Barcelona a day or two early, who at NCL do we contact and how far out should we make this request?

Make your request anytime but must be at least 75 days prior to your sail date.  If after final payment date, they may consider it a reservation change and apply a penalty

I assume you're using the air perk?  The request must be made at least 75 days prior to the cruise, and I believe it can be done just by calling the reservations desk.  If you used a TA then they would make the call.

If you are intending to visit Sagrada Familia you do not try to do it "on the fly" especially if you are thinking of doing it as part of a Hop On/Hop Off tour.   Try to arrange a booked tour.

We went past on a Hop On/Hop Off bus and the queues to get in were long but the queue to rejoin the Hop On/ Hop Off were really long.

The ship tour was a lot better as everything was pre-arranged and ran as smoothly as you would expect with the normal crowd in the place.   Try to find something similar with a commercial company.

 

We didn't do the Nou Camp but the queue to get on the Hop On/Hop Off bus there when we went past had a long wait!!

 

We did two different tours on two days and made sure we were at the staring points well before the first bus of the morning each day.   By the time we got to the end of the round trip the queues were quite lengthy.
