Barcelona in June 2026 was absolutely brilliant. The accessibility of Barcelona was amazing.
I will be visiting Barcelona again, but I will never be using the services of Cunard again, they were absolutely dreadful. Cunard should be ashamed. They were crap, as was ths scumbag disabled taxi which charged us 46 euros to travel from the Cunard ship back to the airport. His taxi fare always showed as 46 euros, and felt a bit like being shafted by Cunard, a member of the Carnival group. I hate scum like this, BUT sadly NOT worth a court case, but I can tell the world about the scum at Cunard, and Carnival.
I should point out that I did raise a complaint whilst on the cruise, but this was ignored and I have never heard any more of this, instead they turned their rabid dogs on me. Useless scum management at Cunard, and Carnival - getting the picture? I also believe the main law firm which takes on cases against the likes of Cunard is probably owned by Carnival, because they are absolutely a waste of time. Not a problem, as my interest is not in money, and more in awrning others about their service.
Of course you can pay me to shut up. I just like mentioning the shit Cunard service.

Thomas John William Terry was the licensee at the "Green Man", Halliday Walk (later Mildmay Street) in 1915-1917. He also had the "Carlton
Tavern", which he took over in 1918. He was the licensee at "Foresters
Arms" Loughton in 1918 (where his first wife Elsie died). Then he was the licensee at the "Gower Arms"
Store Street in 1923, and the licensee in 1925 - 1926 at the
Denbigh Arms,
Denbigh Place, with his second wife Florence Ellen. When Thomas John William Terry died in 1930 (aged 41), the probate shows him at the "Beaumont
Arms" Uxbridge Road. I am not sure whether his second wife Florence Ellen continued there. He was my Grandmother Carnaby's Brother. **
