Notes as of publishing:
Construction on La Sagrada Familia will not be completed in 2026 due to the delays of the Covid shutdown. The final completion date has not been announced.

Since our visit a giant 12 pointed illuminated star has been hoisted atop the tower of the Virgin Mary. The new height is 452 feet and it is the first tower since 1976 to be completed! The final towers will be going into place over the next several years and the Barcelona skyline will be forever changed. Imagine, no more cranes!

December 8, 2021 is the inauguration date for the tower and star lighting. The 800 blue and white stained glass windows in the new tower are representative of Mary’s cloak.

When completed the La Sagrada Familia will be Europe’s tallest religious building.

    Planning my first re booked cruise October 2022 on Freedom of the Sea .
    Hope we can finally meet Melody and Rodd

    Question, I noted you mentioned Royal Caribbean doesn't let you use your own tour guide in Rome? We have a company we are using for Rome, Naples, and another port. Are we not able to?

  5. Lynn & Us

    Me and my son are going to be sailing out of Barcelona for his Graduation in June. How did you guys spend money there? I'm looking for a nice hotel that's not far from the port. Do you have any suggestions?

  6. Robyn Horne

    Was this City of Barcelona Tour or FC Barcelona by Royal Caribbean? I was wondering which one allows to let you see inside La Sa Grada de Familia

    Fantastic suggestions! We're getting ready to go on Wonder of the Seas on her WB transatlantic in October this year, so your tips were especially helpful for us. I hadn't heard about the pigeon issue and needing wet wipes! We will definitely have those packed. Looking forward to seeing your other videos!

    Thank you for the tips. My wife and I are planning a transatlantic cruise from Barcelona to Port Caneveral. We are hoping to do this in October 2023. I noticed there are some 4-5 days of cruising. Was that boring being at sea all day and night?

    Thanks for the tips! Heading there for two days before my first European trip, and my first solo vacation before boarding a 9-day NCL Epic cruise to France and Italy. Have not heard about the baby wipes or the jet lag prepper site on any other vlog.
