canrubu Posted May 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Hello everyone, we are taking a cruise out of Kiel May 2020. We plan on flying in 2 days early and not sure where to get a hotel. We have never been to either city. I see there is a HOHO bus in Kiel. Any help would be appreciated. Happy Sailing, Candy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMHamburg Posted May 30, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) I personally would stay in Hamburg. My baggage could be delayed on flight for example, or my flight is late at all. If the weather is bad - cloudy like on most days -, Hamburg is a much better place - compared to Kiel - for activities, and if the weather is good, you're really a lucky one! Transportation from Hamburg to Kiel: at least 2 trains per hour; journey duration less than 1½ hrs See my Hamburg-Gallery and thread JMHamburg and others please help with Hamburg for more information. EDIT: During 'Harbor Birthday' 08 to 10 May 2020, hotels may be outsold! Edited May 30, 2019 by JMHamburg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, a very big thank you about the birthday. I want to book our hotels ASAP. Since our cruise leaves on Thursday, would you recommend coming in 1 or 2 days early? I have never booked a long vacation this early in the year. I will have to check out how many days of PTO I will have available. Work always getting in the way of life. Have a fantastic day, Candy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
