Jazzbo Posted October 27, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2022 This is my first time doing a live review, but I have enjoyed so many other live reviews, I decided to give it a go. This is the final lift & shift (starting in 2020, of course). Larry (DH) and I (Vivien) drove to Ft. Lauderdale from Orlando yesterday. We stayed at the new Tru by Hilton in Dania Beach. It’s one of those hotels with minimal services (no bar or restaurant, free breakfast. Free valet parking with Hilton Honors. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. All-in-all, a great place to stay for a night, and great value. Our room was $125 (plus tax) for the night. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzbo Posted October 27, 2022 Author #2 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Larry and I are sitting in Delta Sky Club at FLL. It’s starting to fill up, but is comfortable and can still distance. From here, we connect with another Delta flight at JFK to Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reflection just came out of Dry Dock and no retreat deck was added. They painted the hull, did normal maintenance and sea trials, refreshed soft goods and looks like some work in the OVC. Celebrity currently has all future Revolutions on hold until they return to profitability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris, If you enjoy tapas, try Ciudad Condal. It is just off of Los Ramblas. It is located at Rambla De Catalunya, 18. One of our favorites in Barcelona. 😊 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare theopup Posted October 27, 2022 #20 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Thanks for the tapa bar recommendation. We will be in Barcelona next week, not on a cruise, but really looking forward to it. We have never been there in November - so it should be an experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzbo Posted October 27, 2022 Author #22 Share Posted October 27, 2022 @tartana, those look delicious! We are at the Delta Sky Club, fortunately in a quiet, not crowded area. They have stopped admitting people until other people leave. When I left to buy a converter (I left ours at home because I knew I didn’t need it onboard, but I forgot about needing it in Barcelona for blow dryer and other hair tools), they gave me a red card to allow me back in. When I came back, there was a very long line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vickykay Posted October 27, 2022 #23 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Looking forward to following along. Love Barcelona! We did a free walking tour there a few years ago. It was excellent. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
