Additional details
This is me and my husband's tenth cruise, and our second on Royal Caribbean. We also brought along my mother n law who had been on one other cruise.
We had arrived in Copenhagen one day before the cruise was to sail. We decided to stay at the Crowne Plaza near the airport which offered a free shuttle. We also like it because it was close to the train station. The location was clean and bright and offered a bar and restaurant which we did not take advantage of. The room was very small for three people and we did have to request a rollaway bed but the main bed was pretty comfortable to sleep in. The concierge service was very helpful in helping us know what train stops to get off at for various sites. We did decide to take the train to the closest stop to the cruise terminal and then walk the fifteen to twenty minutes to the ship.
Embarkation was a breeze and we were on the ship within ten minutes of arriving.
Cabin Review
We chose an inside cabin for the three of us which consisted of two single beds as well as one that pulled down from the ceiling during the evening turndown service. There wasn't a whole lot of storage space for our clothes or bags nor were there any shelves or cabinets in the bathroom. There was no couch in the cabin, instead there was just one chair directly in front of the TV. The TVs were not integrated with the Seapass portfolio so you would need to go to guest services to request a printout. Our cabin was in a convenient central location but we were freaked out when one night there was a very loud rumbling sound of rushing water behind our cabin. We called guest services and were told that it was probably just the creaking of the ship from the waves (we knew this wasn't true) but they sent maintenance to check it out. When they arrived this speculated that the pools upstairs were being drained.
