I-Cruiser Posted January 8, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Amsterdam - better museums, better shopping, better hotels, better sights, better prices - better flight connections - better and shorter train connections to Europe.... IMO of course...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1981NL Posted January 8, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Amsterdam: ship docked really in the center. Train station next to dock if you want to visit other places. Close to airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted January 8, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Amsterdam, hands down. It has more of a big city feeling compared to Copenhagen but is cosy at the same time, if that makes any sense. I have been there 4 times now and so far I had a great experience every time. But Copenhagen is also wonderful and is not so far behind as our friend from Aalesund suggest :D Why the hotels In Amsterdam should be better I don't understand. The only places where I will agree 100% is prices and flight/trains connections but I don't think that people chooses destinations on these 3 parameters. But to be clear, my personal favourite is Amsterdam but you won't get disappointed by Copenhagen either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copenhagen is wonderful and I go there often:-)...Good restaurants, nice shopping and sights, very helpful and happy people:D I think Amsterdam has more diverse hotels. More 5 star hotels. I love Danish design but Dutch is that little notch higher. The reason I mentioned the price/connection with flights/trains was because I know the OP plan to travel with parent in wheelchair;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubofhockey Posted January 9, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Our cruise is Copenhagen to Copenhagen, but we are actually flying to Amsterdam and spending a couple of days there before our cruise. SAS has $72 flight from Amsterdam to Copenhagen, so we'll do Amsterdam before the cruise and Copenhagen after the cruise. The one issue we saw with Amsterdam to Amsterdam for a Scandinavian cruise is that it adds to days at sea and cuts down on ports. For some, who like days at sea, I suppose that is a plus.
