Regguy Posted May 9, 2014 #1777 Share Posted May 9, 2014 But remember that it's only childrens between 0 and 11 that travels for free with an adult.If they are between 12 and 15 they pay half the price. In this case 12 kroner. Ahh, ok. So if we have a 2 zone card and we need to go 3 zones, can we do 1 clip for a child who is 12-15? (And then 3 clips for 2 adults? The other child is under 11.)

Danish viking Posted May 9, 2014 Author #1778 Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) I sure its a yes because then you pay for 2 zones when you in reality only need 1,5 zone (3 zones divided by 2) and I can't imagine the ticket conductor is having any problem with that. :D Edited May 9, 2014 by Danish viking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lollygagger Posted May 10, 2014 #1780 Share Posted May 10, 2014 We are sailing on the Eurodam returning July 8, 2014. Our flight to Venice is on Norwegian Air leaves at 6:40 am. The Eurodam docks on the morning of July 7th. Is it possible we will be able to get a taxi from the cruise terminal to the airport to make the flight? How much time should we allow? Public transportation is not an option for us as my husband is limited in the distance he can walk. Thanks for your prompt reply and your ongoing helpful information on everything Copenhagen.

Jean From my personal experience you have to be in the airport no more than 1 hour before departure time if you also need to check in your luggage, get through security and get to the gate before final boarding time. Security should take no more than 5-10 minutes, I have no personal experience with checked in luggage on a Norwegian flight but that should not take more than 5-10 minutes either if you use the self service check in.

Jean You will have to carry your own luggage off the ship very early. I would think you would need to leave you cabin by 430 AM. Are you able to do that? I wouldn't think there would be cabs hanging around the ship that early either. Perhaps you could leave the night before and spend the night at a hotel near the airport. You could probably have someone with the ship help you with your luggage and cabs would be available in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemnibabe Posted May 11, 2014 #1785 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Danish Viking.....I have been following your thread for a very long time and marvel at your wonderful information but I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer to yet. So, thanks for all the info you can provide. I have been trying to find a grocery store close to Nyhavn, a Netto, Aldi, etc. and have not been able to do that. I have mobility issues so it's not feasible to walk too far. Is there anywhere to buy a few groceries very close to Nyhavn? Thanks for all your help.

Lollygagger Posted May 12, 2014 #1791 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Thanks for that part. We have booked our bags and seats which gives us speedy security passage. My concern is will we be able to get a taxi at 5:00 am? We will be able to carry off our bags at this early hour so all we need is transportation. Thanks for your prompt reply.

Danish viking Posted May 12, 2014 Author #1792 Share Posted May 12, 2014 If you have your cell/mobile phone with you you can call a taxi. The 2 biggest taxi companies are Dantaxa and Amager-Øbro but I can't remember the phone number right now but try to google it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollygagger Posted May 13, 2014 #1793 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Thanks, we'll be there a day ahead so I'm sure I'll be able to call them. Another problem solved. Now on to shore excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindyFL Posted May 13, 2014 #1794 Share Posted May 13, 2014 hello danish Viking - you are amazing in all the help you have given in these posts. A question for you or others Ship docks in langelinie pier (as of today) on June 14 we are very interested in seeing viking ship museum and Roskilde cathedral I understand that we can walk (or bus) to osterport and connect at central station and take the train to Roskilde how easy is this to do for non-Danish speakers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted May 13, 2014 Author #1795 Share Posted May 13, 2014 The Cathedral opens at 09:00 and the viking ship museum opens at 10:00. If your ship is Marina you will be in port from 07:00 to 17:00 so its probably best to go earlier in the day. Walking route from Langelinie to Østerport station https://www.google.dk/maps/dir/Langeliniekaj,+2100+K%C3%B8benhavn/Oslo+Plads,+2100+K%C3%B8benhavn/@55.6948788,12.5895079,16z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x465252dd08649a7d:0x4e7b478417fecaf!2m2!1d12.6005375!2d55.6984283!1m5!1m1!1s0x465252e1e512da69:0x4822a12508a7d360!2m2!1d12.5870613!2d55.6917858!3e2 The traveltime by train from Østerport to Roskilde is between 33 and 38 minutes depending on the departure and you don´t need to change train. On Saturday the 14th of June there are several departures with the Regionaltog train to choose from. 07:58 towards Nykøbing F 08:07 towards Roskilde 08:16 Intercity train towards Esbjerg and Flensburg 08:37 towards Ringsted 08:58 towards Nykøbing F 09:07 towards Roskilde 09:16 IC train towards Esbjerg and Sønderborg etc..... There are of course some earlier trains but I have not listed them here. Walking route from Roskilde station to the Cathedral and finally the viking ship museum. https://www.google.dk/maps/dir/Roskilde+Station,+4000+Roskilde/Roskilde+Cathedral,+Domkirkepladsen+3,+4000+Roskilde/Viking+Ship+Museum,+Vindeboder+12,+4000+Roskilde/@55.6449778,12.0753055,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m20!4m19!1m5!1m1!1s0x46525fc5be5747ef:0x8c4721ade0161c38!2m2!1d12.088912!2d55.639169!1m5!1m1!1s0x46525fda85cdd88f:0xd234cc29c7f82bc1!2m2!1d12.080449!2d55.642638!1m5!1m1!1s0x46525fd37201241b:0x886928419e79dc20!2m2!1d12.080476!2d55.650763!3e2 The bus back to the station only runs once every hour on weekends but if you get the 14:20 bus you will be at the station at 14:33 or you can walk the 20 minutes back to the station. On the way back I have tried to find some departures that gets you back to Østerport in reasonable time. This time the travel time varies between 34 and 40 minutes. All trains are heading for Østerport. 14:12 14:28 (intercity train) 14:34 14:42 15:12 (will get you back at Østerport 15:51) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danish viking Posted May 13, 2014 Author #1797 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Btw the cheapest train ticket is the 24 hour ticket that costs 130 kroner, a 8 zone single ticket costs 96 kroner so you do the math. :D How many is traveling with you because you can get some good savings if you buy a klippekort (multitrip discount card) instead. If you are 2 persons you will save 36 kroner compared to the 2 24 hour cards (2*130) because you can then buy a 3 zone klippekort that costs 200 kroner, this card has 10 stamps each valued at 3 zones. You need 8 zones to get to Roskilde so that is 16 zones, 5 stamps on the 3 zone klippekort equals 15 zones so you buy a tillægsbillet (add on ticket) that costs 12 kroner and equals 1 zone. When you have done this both ways you have then used 224 kroners but perhaps its better to use 260 kroner and not worrying about zones and add on tickets Edited May 13, 2014 by Danish viking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danish viking Posted May 14, 2014 Author #1799 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Then your decision is to either buy a 3 zone klippekort and a tillægsbillet each way for 224 kroner in total (200 + 12 + 12) or two 24 hour tickets for 260 in total. The 24 hour card is as noted before more easy. If you buy the 3 zone klippekort you stamp it 5 times in the machine and then buy a tillægs billet in the ticket machine and you do the same on the way back. I'm not sure if you can buy the tillægsbillet at the kiosk together with your klippekort but you can try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathyandchuck Posted May 15, 2014 #1800 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Hi Danish Viking, We are arriving on the Celebrity Eclipse on June 9, 2014 @ 3pm. We would like to do a canal tour ( with Netto-badene) at Nyhavn first thing and then go to Tivoli Gardens for the evening. We will be docked at oceankaj. What is the best way to get to Nyhavn and then to Tivoli Gardens and back to ship later? We are planning to do an organized tour the next day but may skip if we can't fit the canal tour in on the first day as we really want to do this. Thank you for all your help on this board. Cathy How do I convert your maps to English? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
