Cool Cruiser (2/15)

Thank you. Sorry if this is a silly question but how do I identify regional trains at the Hamburg Main Station?

We're flying into Hamburg in a few days. We’ll be there 3 days prior to our cruise departing in Kiel on Saturday, April 27th. We were planning to take an uber/taxi from Hamburg Airport to our hotel which is approx 5 miles away. We also have our return transportation from Kiel port to Hamburg Airport through MSC cruise line. However, we do not have anything reserved to get us from our Hamburg hotel to Kiel port. We’d like to arrive at approx 10:00 AM. I checked prices for Uber and private rides and they are quite pricey. It looks like all the early morning shared ride options are sold out. Would you recommend taking a train? Should I reserve the tickets now? I’d appreciate your recommendations. I’m feeling a little stressed that I do not have our transportation plans complete and we’re leaving on Tuesday. Our other option is to only stay 2 nights in Hamburg and find transportation to Kiel on Friday late afternoon. Then we’d stay 1 night in Kiel. Thank you!

The nutshell route will not work because of the timing. MSC also has the excursion listed below available. Does this one sound better than the Amazing Nature Views On the Famous Railway? However, I probably would not be able to do this excursion and the Flam roundtrip railroad excursion. And if I book the Flam railroad through the cruise line they charge way to much, $179 pp.

We will be in FLAM on May 2nd from 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM onboard the MSC Euribia. We are trying to decide if we should book the FLAM TRAIN RIDE (2 Hours - $68 PP) directly or keep this excursion that we have booked with cruise line, AMAZING NATURE VIEWS ON THE FAMOUS FLAM RAILWAY (6 Hours + Lunch - $226 PP). The 2nd excursion includes a ride on the Flam Train plus other transportation and stops. Below is the itinerary. I’d really appreciate your feedback. AMAZING NATURE VIEWS ON THE FAMOUS FLAM RAILWAY ITINERARY: This is the description of this excursion: Once you are ready for the steep roads and mountain tunnels of this region, you can sit back and enjoy the ride through spectacular countryside. Leaving the port of Flåm, we will traverse a long tunnel that takes us to Gudvangen, and the coach will climb through the steep, narrow Nærøy valley. We will stop at the Tvindefossen waterfalls, a twin cascade of two fabulous falls. The excursion continues to the town of Voss, prettily located on the Vangvatnet Lake. We will board a train to continue our outing across a range of stunning natural landscapes, before reaching Myrdal. Here, at 867 metres above sea level, we will change trains and continue down the breathtaking Flåm valley, travelling on the world famous Flåm Line. The train will pass by Kjosfossen waterfall to allow passengers enjoy the lovely view before terminating at Flåm station, on the Sognefjord, from where we can walk back to the ship. Lunch included.

Solstice Aqua Cabin 1547 (A1?) Question...
taylortime05 replied to Bo1953's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Have you sailed yet in cabin 1601? We are on the Eclipse in June 2024 in cabin 1606 right across from 1601. -
Hi, We will be disembarking our cruise on Sat, May 4th in Kiel, Germany. We got an excellent deal on Delta One from Frankfurt to JFK on Tues, May 7th. Then we’ll fly JFK to DTW arriving late on Tuesday, May 7th. We take care of our grand babies a couple of times a week and hubby really wanted to fly home the same day we disembarked to have time to recoup from our vacation before having the grand babies over. I’m trying to put together an interesting itinerary for the 2 1/2 days we have before we fly home. I think this will convince hubby to keep our Delta One flights. Do you have any suggestions on interesting sights between Kiel and Frankfurt? We’re both retired and not too interested in night life. We both enjoy historical sites, museums, nice restaurants, hiking, and beautiful sites. We are also ok with taking small group tours in any of the cities we visit. I’d really appreciate your feedback. Thank you!
