Tony, This past summer, I spent over seven weeks traveling around the Iberian peninsula, Spain and Portugal. There are many tile, cobblestone, or rough sidewalks in many city centers. Do you have a recommendation for luggage that has wheels that can handle being pulled on these surfaces? Ed

Hi there, the cruise ship will always try to sell you their outrageously overpriced products. There are always taxis waiting for cruise passengers, but as you will understand, it's a huge amount of people disembarking simultaneously and delays are meant to happen. All the best.

Here's a tip if one has multiple days available to stay in Barcelona. Book an Airbnb or something similar close to the cruise terminals, become familiar with the area while staying there, then walk or take the cheapest transportation to the cruise terminals. As usual, it always helps to pack lightly while traveling.
