rochelle_s Posted February 22, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The last time I was in Barcelona the port shuttle was 2 euros or 3 euros for a return ticket. I recently read somewhere that the port shuttle is now 10 euros. This seems like quite the jump in price. Can anyone with recent experience tell me what the cost is? If this is indeed the cost with five of us we would be better off arranging a taxi. Thank you Rochelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeyetlse Posted February 23, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2016 End of December it was still the same price you mentioned, and their website indicates the same prices for 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

campolady Posted February 23, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Was still €2 single or €3 return in November. Edited February 23, 2016 by campolady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English_in_Spain Posted February 23, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 23, 2016 It is definitely still €2 single and €3 return. I don't know where you read it was €10 but that is not correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does the port shuttle transport? Need transportation from ship to airport. When staying in Barcelona previously, I took the Aerobus from pl. Catalunya to BCN. So, if I could get to PL Catalunya from ship for €2, and then take Aerobus for €5.9, would you suggest this, opposed to taxi from cruise port to airport? Does anyone know taxi rates from cruise ship to BCN? Edited March 26, 2016 by cruising grandma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shuttle bus takes you to the Columbus statue - at the opposite end of Las Ramblas to the Plaza Catalunya so not suitable for getting the Aerobus.

Ok, thank you. I'm familiar with both places, but have walked from cruise port without luggage past Columbus statue, up Las Ramblas and to Plaza Catalunya and other points around there. I didn't think the port bus would take you to the airport for €2. Looks like the taxi will be most economical and easiest.(especially if we can coordinate with four or more people.

Yes - an easy walk without luggage but not one I would want to do towing suitcases. Taxi is the best option - remember most take a maximum of 4 people and you may have to wait some considerable time for a larger vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeyetlse Posted March 26, 2016 #15 Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) From the port to the aiport, the cheapest option is to take the port bus to Drassanes (Columbus Statue), then take a bus/metro to connect with either bus 46 or local train R2 to the airport. This trip from ship to airport can cost at little as 3 euros per person, but you will have two transfers with some walking, and you have to deal with your luggage. A taxi is definitely easier, although you may have to wait a bit at the port if lots of people disembark at the same time as you. What would a taxi cost from the port to Catalunya square? Is there a website I can go to?You can find a taxi fare calculator here. I can't vouch for its accuracy, but it says 17.15 euros from Moll Adossat to Plaça Catalunya. (I think that includes the supplement for the port, but there will be an extra charge for each suitcase.)

hkto Posted March 26, 2016 #18 Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) There is metro http://goo.gl/qQEWve running to airport now so its possible to get to Drassanes for 4.5€ pp and take port shuttle from there (2€ pp) http://goo.gl/oYwlTI So for party of 4 its 26€. Taxi is 39€ including all supplements & luggage. Not that much more and way faster and convenient. Edited March 26, 2016 by hkto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeyetlse Posted March 26, 2016 #19 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Yes, I didn't mention the new metro connection to the airport (L9) because it costs more than the other public transport options I described, without being any faster or more convenient.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding this but surely if there is a metro direct from Drassanes to the airport it is more convenient than having to change somewhere between Drassanes and the airport. And if it only costs 4.5 euros it's surely worth it for a direct ride straight to the airport :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to take the L3 to the terminus Zona Universitària (10 stations), and then switch to the L9 (another 14 or 15 stations to the airport). There is no direct public transport link to the airport from where the port bus drops people off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcur Posted April 1, 2016 #25 Share Posted April 1, 2016 We'd like to take the port shuttle on embarkation day, as we will be in Barcelona for 1-2 nights ahead of the cruise. Any estimate on what time it starts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
