Pre-Cruise  We had a direct overnight flight from Newark to Copenhagen. Arrived at CPH at around 1 pm and purchased 3 day Copenhagen cards that covered unlimited train, metro and bus as well as entry to many of the city’s museums. We took the train to the Østerport station and then the bus to the Adina Apartment Hotel. With the several wrong turns we made finding the bus stop, we could easily have walked directly to the hotel. The Adina was a great choice, with a bedroom, full kitchen, seating area and dining table. Our room was on the top floor with a view of the city. There was free wifi in the lobby and an exercise center and indoor pool available. There was a nicely stocked Netto supermarket in the building. The 26 bus was right outside the door and passed most of the major attractions. We had 2 full days in Copenhagen and saw several museums, took a Netto boat ride and spent some time in the botanic garden. Sunday was the Copenhagen marathon and we were surprised at how little it impacted our movements.

Day 1 Copenhagen

We had heard that the 26 bus would take us directly to the ship. Google Maps and the hotel desk both told us it was a long walk and a cab should cost about 100 kroner. Unfortunately, the cab driver got lost, adding to the cost – and the 26 bus to Færgehavn Nord – UNICEF stopped directly in front of the ship AND in the parking lot where bags were dropped.

Cabin Review

The location was perfect - just ahead of the aft elevators. Room was very narrow, and only one person could move between the balcony and doorway at one time. Bathroom was small but well designed, although the shower could have had better pressure. There was limited drawer space but additional shelves in the closet allowed us to find room for everything. The only real complaint is that the extra pull-out bed was very hard as a seat.
