My wife and I were fortunate to be able to go and celebrate our 20th year anniversary by going on the HAL Eurodam for the 12 night Baltic itinerary. This trip presented some challenges for us, but I want to start out by saying that we had a wonderful time in Europe and we were very pleased with the service, hospitality, and problem solving ability of Holland America.

Our adventure started out prior to getting to the airport as traffic to LAX was very heavy. When we got to the airport our flight was delayed for almost 2 hours and so we were already behind before we even took off on our first leg of the flights! When we got to Chicago, we were told to run to the next gate as they were holding the flight to Brussels for us. We got on the plane and figured that there was no way our luggage would make it! (stay tuned folks!) The flight to Brussels was no problem, but since we left late, of course we were again rushed in the airport. We had to wait in a long line to clear customs and then go through security. In our rush sprinting through the airport, I left my cell phone in the security checkpoint and didn’t realize it until we barely made our connecting flight. On this flight the air conditioning was not really working and the plane was very warm. Prior to landing, we could see the Eurodam in port and we both were quite happy. Needless to say, after 20 hours of travel we made it to Copenhagen but as predicted our luggage did not! After spending another hour in the luggage area filing a lost luggage claim, we left for our hotel and some much needed rest.

In Copenhagen we stayed at the Marriot AC Bella Sky by the airport. It was a very modern, unique, and comfortable hotel. Once we were settled in, we were notified that our luggage would either be delivered to our hotel the next morning or be delivered directly to our room on the ship. Well thankfully we packed an extra set of clothes, so we were OK with that and we ate a well overpriced dinner at the hotel and crashed for the night.

Expensive but great place to leave from!

Great City to visit. We just used the Hop on and Hop Off bus and boats.
