Creator's Key Takeaways

So, we've just boarded a lure of the seas at Barcelona and we are so so excited.

It was really great whenever you walk in and you'll sort of see there's lots of shops, there's bars, uh there's Sarrentos and Cafe Prominad.

Top tip is on boarding day h there's not many people in the pools so uh yeah pack your swimming gear into your hand luggage.

The crew members that helped me to dawn, everything was felt really safe.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack swimming gear in hand luggage for boarding day.
Bring a plastic bag for wet clothes.
