Celebrity Constellation is arriving on June 6 and is scheduled to dock at the "LMA" Berth in West Harbor. Is it safe to assume all of the information given here on using Bus 15 or 15A is still appropriate to this arrival location?
Also, what is the timing for Bus 15 and 15A? How often do they run?
Thanks!

Let's all look for lutefisk on the menus when we're dining in Helsinki and return here with our results. :)

Love all the talk about Lutefisk here. Have always wondered if the people in Scandanavia like it, or it's some sort of urban myth. We "endure it" here in Minnesota and Lutheran churches all around the state have Lutefisk dinners in the fall, which are MOBBED by the older set. Even though I don't like to eat it, I love the culture of it here in the American midwest.
Sorry to get off track. Let's talk some more about Helsinki.

Thank you, Anni, for the information on local WWII history.

Hello! Is there anything of interest in the Warnemunde / Rostock area concerning World War II?
Things you wish someone told you before your first Baltic cruise
in Northern Europe & Baltic Sea
Posted
--It could be cold. Definitely bring warmer clothes than you think you'll need.
--Berlin was awesome. We booked with an American expat (Masters degree in German Studies from Brown) tour guide who arranged a private driver from the port. Her love of Germany abounded during the 6 hours we had with her.
--Tallinn was the best stop on the Baltic. So many things to see and do there, most of which are not listed in your cruise materials, like the Bastion Tunnels and the KGB Museum. A quick search engine search will find the details on these.
--I'm a stamp collector and I was able to make it to a post office in every port (except Berlin, Sunday) easily.
--Walk in Copenhagen. There is a postcard view around every corner.
--Our guide in Russia had a 2-day-long script that seemed as if she was still under control of the USSR. That was disappointing.
