Good morning from Barcelona.

The situation around here had improved a lot, but, unfortunately, people ignore the recommendations ..... crowded beaches, full bars, discotheques without protection measures, there are many outbreaks that have forced the authorities to re-impose restrictions .
I'm sorry to say this, but we are definitely jerks.

In Zadar do not forget to go see and hear the "organ of the sea" is really very curious.

In Taormina, when you really go, be sure to try a "cannolo" it is a rich and tasty fried dessert filled with sheep ricotta, chocolate chips and candied fruit peel, it is delicious.
In Malta you cannot miss the entrance to the port, it is like going back in time and traveling to the time of pirates.

Hola!!!!!

Greetings from your friend from Barcelona who does not speak English.

We have also canceled our B2B Infinity cruise in September, we have moved it to next year.
I love the idea of this "virtual" cruise, I look forward to the next messages.

Take care.

Good morning from Barcelona.

Totally in agreement with your comments, I also think that the issue should not be considered further.
We all know that the United States has not managed the pandemic well, that is the reality, although some want to find absurd excuses.

Health and happiness for everyone.

Buenos días desde Barcelona.

Good morning from Barcelona.

- Doctor, you think I will lose my eye.
- Well, I don't think so. I put it in his pocket.

Good morning from Barcelona.

Some Spanish humor:

- Good morning, do you have crocodile shoes ???
- No, sorry we don't have.
- OK thanks. Let's go crocodile, they don't have shoes for you

Good morning from Barcelona.

It seems that there is a certain obsession with the coronavirus vaccine, I remind you that being vaccinated does not make you immune to the disease, even having overcome the coronavirus makes you safe, there are many people who have become ill again after having overcome it.
The flu vaccine has been around for many years and every winter hundreds of thousands of people die from the flu and many of them were vaccinated, which shows that a simple thing like the flu can be fatal.
Even if a coronavirus vaccine is obtained, the disease will not be eradicated and I sincerely believe that we will have to get used to it and live with the utmost precautions, but without fear or obsession, because it will be years before the solution is found and I think that the tourism and / or cruise industry can be paralyzed for so long.

Friends, take good care of yourselves.

Edu.

Sounds like a typical roll call.  Lots of activity but once on ship you meet just a few.

Yes, in part you are right, there are many people who only write in the forum to form groups for excursions, find private tours, compare prices, etc., then they do not care to make new friends, as we say here in Spain "Goodbye very good and if I have seen you I don't remember "(I don't know how Google will translate it, but I hope it is understood)

My wife and I have a great handicap with the language, our level of English is very basic, but the language of gestures accompanied by a smile is international, that is why we have made new friends almost every time of the many that we have sailed on a cruise.

A huge hug for everyone.

Hello Edunava, we've not met in person but it's great to hear from others online. Curious what the word is in Spain. Any indications that international holiday travel will be discouraged until end August?

Here in the Netherlands the prime minister has said do not make holiday plans for the summer 🙁

Well, I am hopeful that our B2B in September can do it.
It seems that from April 26th we will begin to be able to go out in stages here in Spain, so I am confident that we can enjoy our two consecutive cruises.

Eclipse, Nov 2018. You did just the two weeks in the Mediterranean, Meg and I continued on to Buenos Aires. Much talk on the roll call before the voyage, but then I just saw you once or twice onboard.

Yes!!! It is true, I have a very good memory of that cruise.

Good to hear from you! Stay safe.

Hello!!!!

We have met on a cruise, right ????? Remember me .... Infinity ??? Constellation ??? Eclipse????......

Good afternoon from Barcelona.

First of all I apologize for my terrible English, I read and write here thanks to the invaluable help of my good friend the google translator.

We have been confined here for more than a month. My work is considered "essential", but my wife is a person at high risk for various pathologies and fortunately my company has taken this situation into account and I am working from home.

Every afternoon at 8 pm the whole city goes out to applaud the balconies of their houses in gratitude to the health personnel who are suffering a lot, the truth is that it is very exciting.

At the moment we continue with the state of maximum alert and confinement until April 26, thereafter the government will decide what to do. Probably from the 27th on, the "de-refinement" will begin in stages.

Dear friends of this place, take good care of yourselves.
A huge hug for all of you.

I've received free transportation from ship to ship twice in Port Evergaldes. I had to take a cab within the port to transfer once and Celebrity did not offer to pay. In each case I went from one Celebrity ship to another. Once I walked from one ship to another, but they were very close.

to the OP: What ports will you be using for the B2B? 

Indeed, as Essiesmom previously commented, the port where the B2B will be is Lisbon.

 Warning, after this you might want to do a B2B2B!

Yes, most likely. 😂

Thank you all very much for your advice and comments, they will be of great help to us.

As you will be on a European cruise you will be allowed to stay on board. It is only in the US that the authorities require the ship to be cleared of all passengers from the completed cruise before new passengers are allowed to board.

 

(Unless there is a post Covid19 change in procedure requiring an empty ship deep clean)

 

Bon dia

That would be fantastic, thank you very much for the information.

Bon día.😃

All your belongings will stay in place since you are in the same cabin.  You will have different cards for the two cruises.  Your account will be closed out after the first cruise, and a new card will be issued for the second.  You will receive instructions in your cabin letting you know the b2b procedure of the next morning.

Thank you very much for your clarifications.

Good morning from Barcelona.

First of all, I apologize for my sorry English. I have some very basic notions of the language and I read and write here with the help of my "friend" the google translator.

On August 30th (if this coronavirus nightmare is over) we will board the Intinity for our first B2B cruise. We are experienced cruise passengers but this will be the first time that we do two consecutive cruises and we would like to know what the process is like on the day the first cruise ends and the second begins:

- We stayed in the same cabin on both cruises. Will the cabin, clothes and suitcases have to be completely vacated ???

- We will have different cards for the two cruises, but do we have to leave the ship and re-enter with the new card ???

Well, if someone can explain to us how all this works, we will be very grateful.

Best regards.

Edu & Montse.

Good afternoon from Barcelona.

In my humble opinion friendship is much more valuable than any monetary aspect, I believe that by dialoguing between the two of you, you can solve the problem in a favorable way for both of you.

Greetings.

Edu.

Good morning from Barcelona.

First of all I apologize for my terrible English, I can read and write here thanks to the invaluable help of my friend the google translator.

Let's see, the butter is delicious, but I'm going to give you a very simple recipe of my land. This is bread with tomato, in Catalan pa amb tomàquet. Simply open a muffin, cut a tomato in half and rub it on the bread, then drop a splash of olive oil and season with a little salt. You can accompany it with some ham, cheese, etc.

I hope you like it, you'll tell me.

Greetings.

Edu.

I'd think the host at the dining room could seat you with a Spanish-speaking server.

Yes, I think so too, it is very likely that there is a Spanish-speaking waiter.
Thank you!!!!
