Wow, Explora, fantastic! Gorgeous ship, that will be an amazing trip!

Have a fantastic time!

Thanks fot the vid.
You're welcome 🙂
New to the channel 👋 great content 👍 look forward to viewing more 👍 🇬🇧
Hi Gavin, welcome! Yes, a lot coming in the next few months!
I was in Barcelona(for 2 days)in June 2019 before a cruise. Loved it. We will be back there as a cruise stop in June this year(Sadly for 1 day only 😢)... Thanks for those tips 👍🏻👍🏻
You're welcome!
I noticed many foreigners think croquetas have potato inside, but they do not: it´s a thick bechamel sauce, where you add some kind of protein afterwards. Most popular croquetas have berian ham, or cod, chicken, tuna, mushrooms, etc.
Some people say good croquetas are the true thermometer of a restaurant: if they´re actually good, the rest of the food will be... ;)
Cheers!
Thank you! I can tell you, they were really tasty!! We ended up ordering 2 dishes!
Love the video's! Even though I am a seasoned cruiser, there is still much to learn! Will you make video's of Valencia, Ibiza, Mallorca and Seville as well? For I will be on Royal in August. Can't wait for that!
Hi there, I do have a video on Mallorca coming in a few weeks!
Lovely!
Good guide to visit Barcelona👍👍. Do you or anybody else have any suggestions on good hotels to stay at before a day before boarding a cruise? Thank you!
Hi, when we were last there we used Hotel Barcelona Universal. We were reasonably happy, and it is a quick 10 minute taxi journey to the Port
❤ Your informative videos! Can you let me know how a wheelchair user gets out of the Port area?! Are local busses adapted with lower get on/off ramps?? Appreciate any info! 😄👍🏻 Keep them coming!
Hi there, many thanks for your comments. Sorry, I am not sure whether the buses are adapted. Perhaps someone reading this will be able to drop a reply in.🙂
Thank you for showing the bill of your sit down dinner. Did you tip? What are the rules for tipping while in Barcelona?
Hi, generally in Spain service is added to the bill, automatically. When it's not, 15% is considered quite fair
Heading to Barcelona next month and going to make it easy by following your steps. 2 questions. Is there a quicker way to get into La Sagrada Familia and second. I didn’t see a space for tips on your restaurant check. Is tips/gratuities customary in Barcelona?
Hi, the Sagrada Familia does have a fast pass ticket available onlinefor pre purchase
Concerning tipping, it is very low key in Spain, and indeed across Europe. Depending on the outlet it is added in automatically, or voluntary on your part. 15% should be fine.
Great video but first bar you're eating pinxos not tapas, similar but from basque region.
Hi, yes indeed. I think I mentioned they were Pinchos!
How do you purchase tickets to visit the church?
Hi, you can buy from Get Your Guide
@ritzytravelguide thank youu!
enjooyed video but want to know more about mom's backpack
Hi there, it's a Kipling bag. She's very pleased with it. Bought it about 2 years ago.
There could be other brands that have similar features.
