We received exceptional service here during embarkation through NCL. It was so quick & easy. We dropped our luggage off at the entrance. I think we were only in the terminal for 5 minutes while checking in as suite guests. We were whisked away onto the ship to check into our muster station and seated for lunch at Cagney's Steakhouse within 15 minutes. There's something to be said about the great level of service here when embarking on a smaller cruise ship out of Copenhagen.
The actual port is about a 20 minute drive from the city center depending on traffic. Our trip ended up being longer from Christianshavn due to a marathon that day. I don't know what it is about us and marathons. We always seem to be caught in the middle of one. It was just a minor detour that took us around the city to the port. It was a great way to see the rest of Copenhagen. We even passed by the world famous Noma restaurant. You know... the one that earned not 1, but 3 Michelin stars. That was so worth the detour. Anyway, just be sure that you plan enough time to get to the port.
It's not the most beautiful port in the world. The only views I can think of would be of the Middelgrunden Offshore Wind Farm and the shoreline of Sweden off in the distance. The sailaway from here may have been better on the aft side of the ship with all the seagulls. Either way, it was still a very smooth embarkation from this terminal. I wouldn't hesitate to book another cruise that starts in Copenhagen. read more
