Have fun! I hope you get to have some nice experiences & make good memories. (Don't push any annoying kids overboard... that kinda stuff may be frowned upon.)

Made it to Barcelona. 3 nights and board on the 7. Barcelona at night has a totally different feeling. Apparently quite dangerous in certain quarters but we felt ok
We were here this time last cruise for a daytime Saw a chap with a SS yacht master on the plane. I shall incorporate as many watch pictures as possible No more pics till we get on the ship as Barcelona isn't unknown to most of you On that note MSC have apparently been inundated with complaints even before the cruise started due to several route changes some understandably so ie Israel etc but a couple of changes, the reasons have been rather tenuous and frankly unbelievable. MSC UK MD said they have never known anything like this and it's gone right to the top in Italy for urgent discussion regarding it.. We await further updates Sent from my Pixel 8 using Tapatalk |

Enjoy the cruise it sounds fantastic. Be careful in Barcelona day or night it’s got a shocking reputation. As mentioned by others it will be great to see other locations as your cruise progresses

Of course us as stupid tourists stand out like sore thumbs so our chances of bad stuff increases exponentially on that basis so you're advice is correct It's an errie beautiful place if you let it get to you and become too scared to go out but yes you're 100% correct wander down the wrong side street although street is a bit strong most are about 6 foot wide and your evening would take a turn for the worst Hotel plain basic but clean and tidy right in the centre of the gothic quarter.

Looking forward to follow your adventures! Just got home last night from a 3 week cruise which was fabulous.

Sounds like an awesome trip. Keep the updates coming.
Curious to hear your thoughts after you get back. We are considering something similar. I've taken MSC a few times in the U.S. and itinerary changes seem to be the norm for that company. |
