YouTube Video Description

Throughout this series, I’ve been cruising onboard Costa Diadema, on a 14-night cruise that’s been taking in various ports across France, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Today, it’s the ‘end of the road’, as it’s now time to leave the ship here in Barcelona. Now, it’s not all sad - Barcelona is actually one of my favourite cities in Europe, so I’m really excited to head ashore, and will show you more from the city over the next couple of episodes. I’ve never disembarked from a Costa cruise before - let me show you how it works, and how some key elements differ to what you’re probably used to with other cruise lines… Video Chapters It’s time to get off the ship! 00:03 Disembarkation documentation: 01:16 Costa Cruises Luggage Tags: 02:18 English Speaking Representatives - Disembarkation talk: 03:27 What should you do with your luggage on the final night of your Costa cruise? 04:35 Cruising in to Barcelona Port: 06:58 Breakfast: 07:27 Ship Spotting! 07:40 AIDAcosma: 08:08 Explorer of the Seas Sail-past: 10:38 Breakfast, round 2!
