I have just returned from a lovely 14 night cruise on the wonderful Celebrity Eclipse. Embarkment and disembarkment was quick and effortless. The itinerary was spot on and the sun stayed with us the whole cruise.
Rooms:
Our room was clean and spacious, it also had a bathroom larger than expected. The room was quiet, with not even a squeak from the balcony doors. The only niggles were: the wardrobe being blocked on one side, making it hard to access and see in, and not having enough draw space for three people. Additional overhead cupboards were provided but you had to climb on the bed to reach your clothes.
Storage for clothes were our only issue.
Bruges is well worth a visit from Zeebrugge. Check train time tables either from the port or Blankenberg,it is easy to use and clean. The Half Moon brewery is worth a visit
The port Warnemunde is a long way from Berlin and really not worth the hassle. Warnemunde is a seaside resort and very pretty. We were in Dock a long time so we visited Rostock too. You could visit the Stasi Prison, which is free. ( located in the philosophy department of the university) The train station is very close and easy to use.
Tallinn Old Town is an easy straight walk from the Port. It has some amazing buildings with plenty of history. We visited , The museum Of Occupation, just outside the Old Town, it was excellent.
We took the shuttle bus into town. It was the worse port in our opinion. We ended up walking round an inlet of the sea. We also saw a sea icebreaker,which was interesting ,near the harbour.
This was an amazing City. Our time here was short.We took a local bus into the old town,which was very picturesque. We walked back to the Port and saw some amazing scenery and building/ bridges.( about 45mins,not including stops,cutting across a park)
You can easily walk from the port to the Town and take in plenty of interesting places near by. The little Mermaid is at the end of the Port and just round the corner is the , Gefion. We walked though a lovely park and we were soon at Nyhavn. From here we walked to Rosenborg Castle. On the way back we came across a Botanical Gardens, they were very pretty. The old town square, near Tivoli is worth a visit.
