Grego Posted July 31, 2016 #401 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Danish Viking, I kept wondering why it took you so long to do this. I personally was getting tired of seeing you answering the same questions over and over again, so I can only guess how tired you were of doing it. It was amazing to see how lazy some people were when the same question they were asking was just answered a few posts above. If they had bothered to read the thread they would have gotten all the information you provided to answer their questions and more - but no.......their question was the only thing on their mind. Anyway, thanks for all you have done to make our upcoming visit to Copenhagen a better researched and, hopefully, less stressful start to our voyage.

Danish viking Posted July 31, 2016 Author #404 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Thanks - I think we can be flexible! We have multiple choices for each meal - if one doesn't work out we will try another. Just a little correction, they will charge you if you book a table and not showing up. Its still free to book a table. :D And its only a few restaurants that do this but it gets more popular.

Danish viking Posted July 31, 2016 Author #405 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Btw I have no problems answering questions but as someone has pointed out it would be helpful if they looked at page 1 first because many answers are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hottubmomma Posted August 3, 2016 #406 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Just returned from our Baltic cruise and want to say thank you to the Danish Viking for all his wonderful information, patience and help. We LOVED Copenhagen and his input and helped made our trip so easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNfamilycruiser Posted August 3, 2016 #407 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Just a little correction, they will charge you if you book a table and not showing up. Its still free to book a table. :D And its only a few restaurants that do this but it gets more popular. Thank you, yes I meant if we could not get reservations at one place, we would try another. I am thinking most of the places we are planning on trying are not the kind that would charge if you did not show up - but we won't risk it anyway :D We leave today - we will be in Copenhagen tomorrow!! Looking forward to a wonderful visit - thank you for all the help on this thread and others. Edited August 3, 2016 by MNfamilycruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassy12 Posted August 4, 2016 #408 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Having never traveled by train we are wondering how difficult it would be to take a train from Copenhagen to London. Our transatlantic cruise ends in Copenhagen but we have five days until our Baltic cruise leaves from Southampton so are thinking of spending four nights in London before going to Southampton. Can't decide if we should fly or take the train. Any suggestions are welcomedoing. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haspe Posted August 4, 2016 #409 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Don't take the train. It is only possible if you go via Germany and Belgium Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting excited. My cruise is coming soon - leaving for Copenhagen tomorrow. And yes I went back to your first page and printed all the pictures on how to get to the port - big big help!

The train will be so slow and you would have to make so many train changes that the chance of delays or problems just multiply with every connecting journey. Plus you would have to travel across each major city to reach another terminal station. Delays at the Channel Tunnel can be a nightmare due to the attempts of immigrants attempting to get into the UK illegally. Get to London as fast as you can, spend a couple of nights there, but I would suggest travelling down to Southampton the day before your cruise. There is current unrest on the railways in the south of England at the moment and there is a fear of strikes. Sorry to paint a gloomy picture but if the train situation stabilises in England, do your wished for train journey from London to Southampton.

sassy12 Posted August 6, 2016 #412 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Thanks for your suggestions. We will be flying to London. We will either take Smiths for airports or National Coach to Southampton. We booked our hotel for the day prior to the cruise. Now we just need to figure out where to stay in London and book the flight from Copenhagen. Any suggestions for flight times? We arrive on the Norwegian Getaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanannjen Posted August 6, 2016 #413 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I have a question regarding restaurants - are they willing to do separate checks, or at least split them 3 ways? There will be 6 of us (3 couples) and I want to be sure that we can all use our credit cards to pay for our meals - otherwise we will need to get a LOT more cash at the ATM! I'm not talking Michelin restaurants - I'm just talking your average table service type restaurant. Thanks for everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are departures all day long as London is by far the biggest route out of Copenhagen. British Airways and SAS will bring you to Heathrow. Ryanair and Easyjet fly's to Luton. Easyjet and Norwegian fly's to Gatwick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTLS Posted August 8, 2016 #416 Share Posted August 8, 2016 We are booked on a Baltic cruise next May and have a day and a half in Copenhagen. We are planning in taking a walking tour with the Red Badge guides on our 2nd morning. That ends at the Amalienborg Palace at noon. We would love to then go to the Torvehallerne market to grab some lunch. Could you please advise on the bet way to do this. Public Transport? I've tried looking at maps but nothing is very clear. I would very much appreciate your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted August 8, 2016 Author #417 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Its possible to walk in 20-30 minutes time but else you can take the metro from Kongens Nytorv to Nørreport where Torvehallerne is located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTLS Posted August 8, 2016 #418 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Many thanks. After finishing a "walking tour" we will probably glad to take the metro.! I think it might be best to take the metro back to the Centre and take a bus back to our ship. Am I correct? I know I'm one of many who is so grateful that you are willing to help like this. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted August 10, 2016 Author #419 Share Posted August 10, 2016 If you talk about Torvehallerne then its easier to take the 25 bus from next door Nørreport to Oceankaj (if Oceankaj is your destination) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coochuck Posted August 13, 2016 #420 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Hello Danish Viking...Thank You for all the information you have provided. I just found this thread and it is fantastic. One question I have...we will be staying at the Hotel Bethel for a few days before our cruise to Boston. We would want to take a Boat Ride upon morning arrival at the hotel. We were wondering if there was one you could recommend within walking distance of the Hotel? Thanking you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish viking Posted August 13, 2016 Author #421 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Both Strömma and Netto Baadene departs from Nyhavn so you could almost step out of your hotel and into the boat. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip111 Posted August 13, 2016 #422 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Is it a very long walk from the Scandic Palace to Nyhaun and will it work for my wife in a wheelchair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNfamilycruiser Posted August 14, 2016 #423 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Is it a very long walk from the Scandic Palace to Nyhaun and will it work for my wife in a wheelchair? We found that nearly everything is within walking distance - it was probably about a 20 minute walk from Nyhavn back to the Radhuspladsen. The Scandic Palace is right off of the Radhuspladsen I believe. I am not positive about the wheelchair - I remember that many areas were paved with cobblestone, but they were pretty even.

Skip111 Posted August 15, 2016 #424 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Thank you so much we are slow but I think we could make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanannjen Posted August 15, 2016 #425 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Thank you so much we are slow but I think we could make it If you're looking for the canal boat tour, it also leaves from Gammel Strand, which is much closer to your hotel.
