DG326 #1 Posted August 24 We recently received email from RCI regarding a terminal change. The email states that on debarkation day, we will shuttle from the pier to the World Trade Center Terminal South. They suggest, since taxis re limited, to prebook a transfer. We are staying in Barcelona for a for a few days post cruise, so we need a ride to our hotel, which is near Las Ramblas. Does anyone know the taxi situation? I looked into private transfer, seems expensive for a short trip. Thanks. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
helpthejuggler #2 Posted August 24 Las Ramblas is a long location. At the port end of the street, with bags on wheels you can walk the short distance. If you are staying at the far end, probably not. So the precise hotel is important. When we did the transfer from there in June, taxis were on hand at this terminal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DG326 #3 Posted August 24 That is good news. Even if our hotel was close, schlepping our luggage does not sound fun ! So, more than likely there will be taxis. I appreciate your feed back. Thank you. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashland #4 Posted August 24 There will be taxi's lined up...Don't let the cruiseline steer you toward booking a transfer...not necessary at all. We just sailed in/out of Barcelona on RCI Vision this past May and spent a few pre-cruise days in the city...all transportation done easily via taxi. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CruiseDigits #6 Posted August 25 Taxis are plentiful in Barcelona, I'd be shocked if they aren't lined up waiting for you when you leave the ship. Las Ramblas is packed with people and also a slight incline going in that direction so I wouldn't want to walk through there dragging bags. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VMax1700 #7 Posted August 25 There will be plenty of taxis. Not only is it a cruise terminal, it is also a ferry terminal and the Grand Marina hotel is there (as well as the WTC). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vickykay #8 Posted September 25 Just off a Celebrity ship last week. They also told us taxis were limited. However, there was plenty lined up and very orderly procedure. We were in one a few minutes after getting to the line. Enjoy. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
