It's all in the title. We should have sailed in on the Marco Polo but were told that the pilots said the weather was too bad to get in. I noticed on the Hambug Port website that the Balmoral was due to follow us in about 6 hours later. We went to Belgian ports instead but they don't do Xmas Markets as good as the Germans, so we were a little disappointed.

Happy cruising

Yes - I was onboard and we did get into Hamburg in the late evening/early hours of the morning... So didnt really loose any time in Hamburg as only supposed to arrive at 10pm -as we docked overnight.

Only real delay was arriving into Amsterdam as due to the weather we only arrived late in the afternoon.

Great cruise, hope you had fun on the Marco Polo...
