Unfortunately, on our cruise day the weather wasn’t good and it wasn’t safe outside of the harbor so we only got to do a little jog out of the harbor. My son loved sitting on the nets getting splashed while freezing himself out. Despite the weather, we had a great time! Cristian and Albert (I think that was his name) were awesome! Super informative and fun! I want to come back to Barcelona and do it again!”
