Hotel Majestic, Barcelona, Spain (review and video)

This was actually the 2nd time I have stayed at the Hotel Majestic in Barcelona. The first was about 3 or 4 years ago on a long weekend break. This time I was here for work.

To see the cities where Winnie embarks or disembarks, I encouraged her to add hotel stays, or she will not…

Cruise Travel Agents Want Us To Know About These Things
