Landed in Barcelona

The Air Transat flight arrived on time in Barcelona, but a piece of luggage did not.  Spent some time dealing with airport officials to make a baggage claim.  Thankfully, the Autos Vilar driver was waiting in the airport arrivals lounge and he patiently waited during the baggage delay.  Made it to the pier in about twenty minutes from the airport.  While there were lots of people, the embarkation process to board the Norwegian Epic was quick and painless.

On the way to Barcelona

Misterpiggy is waiting patiently for his flight via Air Transat to Barcelona, Spain.

Norwegian Epic Stateroom

Misterpiggy's stateroom is located on the Deck 9 of the Norwegian Epic.  Borrowed the stateroom pics above from NCL.com's website until they can be replaced with Misterpiggy's own pictures. He'll take the bed on the right, Muki can have the bed on the left.

Autos Vilar Taxi Service in Barcelona

Decided the best form of transport from Barcelona Airport to Cruise Port would be a minivan taxi.  Checked out the pricing and reviews of various shuttle services and decided to go with Autos Vilar.  Very prompt on email replies and shuttle price was reasonable with flexible payment options.   Here's their website:
