Can I catch this inbound flight?

Hi,

Our inbound flight from Barcelona is at 1:40PM. The cruise is scheduled to arrive Barcelona at 5AM on the same day.

Do we have enough time to catch this flight?

How long will it take to get out of ship (Voyager of the Seas) and travel from port to Barcelona airport?

Thanks a lot!

Call the cruise line and ask about the distance from the dock to the airport. Are you taking a taxi or the cruise transfer?

If you are off the ship at 9 - 9:30, you will have plenty of time. Shouldn't take more than an hour to get to the airport.

While it is a good distance on foot, it is quite possible to walk into Barcelona's main tourist and shopping areas from the ship by simply following the sea wall all the way in. The airport is approximately 30 minutes to the northwest of the docks and while train service is available, it requires at least one connection and isn't advisable. Taxis are widely available and reasonably priced, however be sure to negotiate your fare before making the commitment to secure the taxi's service if they are not metered. Many ship's offer a shuttle from the port itself to the foot of the statute of Columbus by the inner harbor, which is an excellent place to start sightseeing or exploring Barcelona. Finaly, the local city bus stops right at the Port Vell cruise terminal.

Thanks for the info!

As taking taxi or cruise transfer, it depends on the time taken....
