My family of 5 (including 3 young kids) will be landing in Barcelona for a cruise in a few weeks. What is the best method of transportation from the airport to the pier? Is it true that only 4 people can fit in a standard taxi? Do they have larger taxis or do we need to arrange shuttle service beforehand?

Hi,

From the airport the way to get to the port ( the only way as far as I know) is by car. Yes, the majority of cabs if not all that you will see when you exit are for a max of 4. Also, depending on the number of suitcases you carry they will not be able to fit all.

I have used the services of this company and highly recommend it:

They probably can arrange a vehicle to fit your needs. Make sure you know the specific port location where your ship will be.

Yes,,because there are two port areas

I just looked at Royal Caribbean's website, and it indicates the Port of Barcelona Moll Adossat. Is this location specific enough for a taxi driver to recognize?

Hi Neal,

Yes, that should be fine. Good luck!
