Exactly, this is my bi-annual think tank session. One sailing to Europe and one sailing back. Cheaper with RT air ticket.

Yes it is usually easy to get lower cost OW fares to other parts of Europe than the cruise ports. But the cost and hassle of getting 15 days worth of clothing from FRA airport to BCN port is not my cuppa.

However I buy BCN North American BCN RT ticket with a flexible return option. After flying back post spring eastbound cruise I fly back to BCN to catch the fall westbound trip.
