From Cruise Ships to Ancient Cathedrals: Exploring Port Day in Palma
Вставка

- Let's explore the port of Palma de Mallorca, Spain together.
We explored Palma on our own on our Harmony of the Seas Mediterranean cruise. We made one large mistake and lots of little wins during the day.
P.S. We are aware of the mistake "La Palma" which in the Canary Islands. We have since visited La Palma. Stay tuned for a video

Thank you for sharing so much valuable information in a beautiful video. We will be at Palma, Mallorca this November and were wondering if we could just explore on our own. Your video gave us some great ideas !
Boy I would just that, I must say travel is in my hatbox, or bucket list. You know you are very lucky 🍀 to have all these places too to see + the finances to do as you like. Well done 🇦🇺🇦🇺🌹😊👋👋
So glad to see you back folks!😉
Can’t wait to see more Rod and Melody .
I take your advice to enjoy my life as if I was “Always on Vacation “
Sorry the video took so long to wrap up. We have learned a LOT since filming our HotS series and can't wait to share more. ~Hooray Daryl for living a life full of joy and experiences! Did you get on your cruise yet? Or do you have one planned?
@@AlwaysBeVacationing Actually not as of yet since work has bogged me down and time off is not available until next year .

@@darylwhitty You are amazing! Thanks for the continued support and vote of confidence. It is people like you who we hit the record button for. :)
Did the ship supply a shuttle to the city centre? I’ve seen the cruise terminal is very far away. If so, how much was the shuttle?
Very nice recordings 😍 Especially from inside Le Seu 👍
We can’t wait to visit again! What a beautiful island you have!!
Did you guys do all of this on your own or were you on an excursion? Did you plan ahead or buy tickets the day of? We are going in September and your day looks awesome
Of note to other travelers: The name Joan is actually the Catalan equivalent of John and isn't pronounced like Joan as of Joan of Arc. Likewise, Catalans call the king Jaume, not James. The c with a tail (cedilla) is pronounced like an S in the name of your lunch spot.
We will be porting in Mallorca and wondering about accessibility as our son is in a power wheelchair? Can you give any insights? Our accessible excursion was just canceled and trying to play our time there. Many thanks!
Hi Melody! How far did you need to walk from the cruise port to catch the shuttle to the cathedral? How was your experience on the hop on hop off bus in Palma de Mallorca?
Hi Peggy! The shuttle was waiting right off the ship, it was not far at all. I was surprised at how easy it was to get to the Cathedral. I honestly did not love the hop on hop off bus in Palma. If we had made a better plan of what to hop off for we may have had a different experience. As it was, our only stop was closed and under construction.
@@AlwaysBeVacationing Thanks Melody! So what would you recommend instead of the hop on hop off bus in Palma de Mallorca?
@@peggytan4610 the hop on hop off is cheap! - walking. Honestly right around the cathedral is the coolest neighborhood, shopping and restaurants. You could be happy all day right there! And if you decide to hop on hop off… you can easily catch one.
@@AlwaysBeVacationing Thanks Melody for your helpful tips. We will be on the Wonder of the Seas in Oct so Palma is the first port of call. I love your Barcelona videos 😍 as we will embark in Barcelona too. By the way, I have subscribed to your channel, keep those videos coming dear! 🥰
@@peggytan4610 We have sooo many cruises we haven't created videos on yet... work has taken my weekends - time vampire that it is. Wonder of the Seas is BEAUTIFUL! We sailed on her 3rd paying passenger voyage in March. I promise to try to find some time for editing soon. :) We have MORE Barcelona too!
La Palma está en Canarias... la capital de Mallorca es Palma (no La Palma). Muchas vacaciones todo el día pero os habéis equivocado de isla y de archipiélago.
Gracias por avisarnos. Conocemos las dos islas y vamos a corregir el video
Its not La Palma but just Palma, La Palma its an island in the Canary Islands
YES you are right! We have been to Palma and La Palma. :) Forgive my "gringo ness", sometimes you can really tell that I am "blonde." LOL
Obviously I did not listen well, any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated
We planned it on our own!!! Actually the only thing we knew we wanted to see was the cathedral. And we did buy the hop on hop off bus pass prior to sailing. Other than that... we just explored! We imagined ourselves living in LaPalma ... it is THAT nice! Best advice, stop to eat something. I know the ship is waiting. But part of the experience is taste... don't skip it!
It's Palma de Mallorca. Not La Palma de Mallorca.
Yes… we know. Thank you for pointing it out. We have now neem to La Palma :)
You mean you paid for the bus n didn’t get to stop anywhere else to make it worth your while. Maybe you just wanted to go to that one stop?
