Lots of really useful detail on this thread. thanks to all but particularly hallasm for all the information. We have an overnight in Copenhagen on the Enchanted Princess at the end of August. It may well be that the weather will drive us onto the buses or shuttles but if the weather is good we would probably look to walk to the Orientkaj metro station from the ship. Is this a reasonable walk (distance is fine for us) or would the local infrastructure, any heavy lorry traffic, construction works or any port restrictions make the walk uncomfortable or hazardous Thanks

Presumably on Cunard this scenario would only become an issue should the pirates eat in the wrong dining room, take their jackets off during dinner service, get in the way of the ballroom dancers or put squirty cream on their scones?

It should be a bit clearer after the fixture list comes out tomorrow. Hopefully a local will then be able to advise as to availability of tickets (will obviously be more difficult to obtain if they are playing one of the big 4 or 5 teams). You will I suspect need a bit of luck in how the fixtures fall. Southampton will not be playing on the weekend of 23rd to 26th September as that weekend is reserved for England games against Italy and Germany. There is a 50% chance of them playing away from home on any other weekend. The other thing to look out for is that the dates for the matches coming out tomorrow will be provisional. Possibly as late as August the tv companies will pick the games they want to show so any home game provisionally shown as a Saturday afternoon kick off may actually be played at different times on Saturday, Sunday or even Monday night Of course if luck is really on your side and tickets are available then you might be able to watch them play the mighty West Ham United- who could ask for more! Would not be thanked by any Southampton fan but if they are not playing or you couldn't get a ticket then there bitter rivals Portsmouth if at home will almost certainly be playing at 3:00 on the Saturday and will have tickets all be it to watch football at a 2 league lower standard
