Hi everyone, 

This may have been answered somewhere on this board so apologizing in advance if It has. We are aboard the Regal Princess 8/6 docking in Nynäshamn on 8/8/2019. This is my plan and asking for input if this is feasible and will get us to where we want to go 😄. We are in port 7am - 7pm

A. From Nynäshamn port walk/shuttle to train station and take train to Central Station. About 1 hr. 

B. At Central Station take Tram 7 to Nordiska Museet/Vasamuseet where Vasa museum is located. Tour. 

C. Decide if we want to tour Skansen since it is very close. 

D. Take Ferry or possibly walk to Old Town/Gamla Stan - lunch. (Is this walkable?) Walking is not an issue for us 🙂

E. Decide if we take tour of Royal Palace or go to City Hall.

F. Make our way back to Central Station for train back. 3:25 pm train or 3:55 pm train. 

Trying to to verify if there is a Princess Shuttle that we can take into town as well and what their times are. 

Another option we have looked at is the ships tour which is comprehensive covering City Hall tour, Vasa tour, Gamla Stan, Royal Palace tour, Fjällgatan viewpoint for pictures. This also includes lunch. It’s a ship tour so expensive and large group. I checked with Alla Tours who we are using for SPB but their tour is short and gets us back to the port  hours before we need to be. I’d like to stay/see a little more of Stockholm. 

Any input would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

We just came back from a cruise and stayed at the Scandic Palace the night before and after the cruise. The night before  we were very tired and went to sleep early, we heard the bell  and woke up several times. After the cruise we stayed in a room facing the front of the hotel ,it had a tiny balcony with 2 sets of wood doors with glass panes.We did not hear the bell although we were close to it, the doors did the trick.

It advertised having AC, but turning the AC to the max level provided not much cooling. The ssecond night we requested a table fan that really worked well cooling the room.

 

We loved the breakfast buffet, lots of choices, the baked goods and the coffee were exceptional.

Thank you very much for this update! We ended up switching our reservation last week to the Scandic Palace. We plan on enjoying bells or no bells 🙂. Liked the location ! We will request a table fan at check in. Thank you for the tip 👍. 

Thank you everyone for your suggestions and input! I’m keeping our room at the Admiral right now. I did check the Andersen but they are full. Thank you again everyone for your input! 

Hi there! We (DH and myself) are on the Baltic cruise with the Regal Princess 8/6/2019. We have one night precruise in Copenhagen I have made a reservation but am second guessing it as they are going through renovations and I’m now worried about the room we will end up with. Looking for input from anyone that can help! 

1. Admiral Hotel - current reservation but hotel under renovation. No AC - reviews say hotel can get very warm. 

2. Scandic Palace - looks nice includes breakfast and from what I can determine good location. Reviews look pretty good. 

Open to suggestions ....thank you in advance!

Confirmed our tour for St Petersburg through ALLA - Grand Tour. Looking at Berlin and a couple other ports. I’m wondering if anyone has a comparison using a tour with the bus ride to Berlin VS the train ride. Looks like most private tours use the bus/motor coach but Princess uses the train. Thanks for any input.
