Map of the Terminal Area

Rather than post the Cruisecritic group and the Hotel Continental group again, I last two posts to add Smoothsailor's name to the CC Group and Joyce's name to the Hotel Continental group.

The above picture shows the Port of Barcelona. You'll notice the little blue bus symbols. You can walk to the ship or from the ship to the city but it's advised that you take one of the buses because a good part of the walk is along a busy highway bridge. You can buy bus tickets in the terminal building for 5 or 6 euros or you can exit the building and purchase the tickets on the bus for less money.

Look for Passeig de Colon. That's where the bus picks you up or drops you off. Notice that La Rambla starts right there and continues up to Placa de Cataluna, right past the Hotel Continental.

Have you been to any of the ports before? Please comment on the ones that you've been to or want to go to.

Welcome to the "Making Carnival Magic" website!

Although it is just one page now and although it only contains the elementary bits of information about this wonderful cruise, with your help, it will evolve into a fabulous showcase of our little group, our modes of transportation, the tours we book, the ship, the ports, and anything else we choose to capture.
