Does anyone know what port the ship goes to when it says  Bali. 

Benoa is a cruise port in Bali. It lists Benoa but also says Bali.??????

 

Also it says Java but that is the whole Island???????

The way I read it is that Bali is the Indonesian Island and that Benoa is the port on the Island.

Hi Bob, I think you will find the cost difference is a bit more than 32 euros. :(

Standard Ticket one way for one person 17 euros = 34 euros return.

Total standard return tickets for 4 persons = 136 euros

Lander ticket for 4 persons = 36 euros.

A difference of 100 euros! :eek:

Thanks for the correction, Anni. I don't think and extra 1.5 hoursw in Lubeck is worth 100 euros. Besides, I like your Laboe Naval Memorial suggestion. I'd really like to see the U-boat. thanks again for all of your help--Bob

Hi Kruizefan, Thanks for the input. I guess I was looking at the ticket prices for the train to Lubeck and return. If we take the earlier trains we will have to purchase regular tickets however if wait until after 9:00am we can use a 4 person Lander ticket. I calculate the difference to be close to 32 Euro total. The big question therefore is an extra 1.5 hours in Lubeck worth the extra 40 to 45 bucks. I guess considering what we have invested in this 3 week cruise this really is a pittance. A decision probably won't be made until just before we arrive in Kiel but it's good to know all your options. Thanks again for the advise--Bob

Thanks Anni Actually the first plan was to be in Lubeck for the 3.5 hours. The Eurodam is actually in Kiel for 10 hours but with the 2.5 to 3 hour train trip and the Lander ticket restriction we would only have 3.5 hours in Lubeck. Laboe sounds like a great alternative. The wife however is still pushing for Lubeck so we probably won't make any decisions until the last minute. Thanks for your help--Bob

Hi Anni, Thanks for the quick reply. During our visit to Europe last summer I found out the hard way that most transit ticket machines only accept the European credit card with an embedded chip. I guess this technology hasn't reached the USA yet. The only credit card type I have is the type that requires a signature on the receipt. Do you know if the machine will accept Euros. If so, what denomination should I plan on having with me.

After our visit to Warnemunde the Eurodam will be in Kiel on Friday 19 July from 7:00am to 5:00pm. In a previous post you recommended visiting Lubeck. There are 4 in our party and if we purchase a Lander ticket the best train connection to Lubeck from Kiel is 9:04am departure, arrive Lubeck 10:32am. The return to Kiel would be: depart Lubeck 14:05, arrive Kiel 15:15. There is another return train an hour later but I'm reluctant to cutting it that close as the ship departs Kiel at 5:00 and we will need time to get from Kiel Hbf to the ship. Anyway, this allows us 3 1/2 hours in Lubeck. Is this enough time to see the city and also have a nice lunch. Or do you think we should just hang out in Kiel and walk around the central city area. Any thoughts? Thanks much--Bob

Sorry, I meant to say the Eurodam will be in Warnemunde on 18July not 13July. Also, do you know where we might find wifi in Warnemunde or Rostock. I understand the problem with MacDonalds. Thanks in advance

Hello Annie

I've really enjoyed reading this thread. You sure provide a wealth of information and are quite patient with all of the repeat questions. We will be on the Eurodam when it visits Warnemunde on Thursday, 13July. Our group of 4 plan to do the Schwerin day visit and I have a couple of questions you might be able to help me with. First, can the Lander Ticket be purchased in either Warnemunde station or Rostock Hbf. We're going to take the 9:07 train out of Rostock to Schwerin so would it be better to purchase the ticket in Warnemunde before we depart or in Rostock. We plan to take a 7:45 train from Warnemunde so we should have plenty of time in Rostock Hbf. I realize there is an extra 2 euro cost to purchase the ticket at the station rather than on line but I like the flexability of buying the ticket as late as possible. Thanks

Bob
