When we were in Hamburg independently last year, we saw the Cunard buses stopping about 100 yards from the Rathaus (town hall), which is the centre of the city.

Brilliant - thanks LadyL1.

Great, thanks for that.

The plan is to visit Miniatur Wunderland in the warehouse district and then walk back to the ship, hopefully via a nice little place for a light lunch.

"Oh Its Fresh" or "Carls" - both within easy walking distance.

Fantastic! Thanks very much indeed Trevor.

Do you also happen to know of anywhere which offers typically German or local specialities?

assuming QM is still at the old pier, MW is about 0.6 mile walk .... no biggie

2 warnings from our visit in June

- we planned to spend an hour or two, and when we left after FIVE we felt rushed!

- if you don't have tickets in advance, expect a wait to get into the exhibit. There is a nice place to wait (with free beverages) but during busy hours they limit how many can enter at a time. I think we waited about 30 minutes.

Thank you very much for that very useful hint about the exhibition. It comes very highly recommended.

The outside Market style places opposite the Rathaus are really local food & wine and very popular but I do not know over what period they do this.

Carls menu is at http://carls-brasserie.de/pdf/CARLS-Bistro-Speisekarte-de-new.pdf

Thanks Trevor - :)

Hello - we are thinking of doing a mini Cunard cruise to Hamburg next Jan from Southampton. Anyone know what time the cruise leaves on the first day - I know it's normally a 4-5pm departure but wondering as it's a short cruise anyway, would it sailaway in the morning?

Thanks in anticipation!

I've never heard of a morning sail away at the start of a cruise. It takes a few hours to get the ship empty and then full again !

The programme will probably be like ours, Wilbur -

Day 1 - Sailaway late afternoon

Day2 - Sea Day

Day 3 - Arr Hamburg about 06 30 and disembark Hamburg.

This was the first leg of QE's cruise to the Baltic

footnote for readers who might be considering the short trip Hamburg to SH

On our June trip the departure from Hamburg was delayed several hours due to a low tide ... seems the water level was too low for desired clearance where there's a tunnel ... so we sat pierside 'til around 10pm .... cut way down on the tourist boats escorting . .

Thanks - just booked - really looking forward to seeing one of the Cunard ships inside and visiting a place that we haven't been before.:)

Enjoy Hamburg, a great city to explore.

That looks very spectacular - thanks Solent Richard! We had no time to explore after disembarking last week, so plan to return in December.

And thanks for the link to your great blog.

My pleasure.
