Day 11: At sea, Disembarkation

We neglected to turn in our disembarkation request forms and were assigned to a group scheduled to disembark at 10:15am. We have an 11:30am flight so there was no way we could disembark at that assigned time. We went to passenger services and requested to have our assigned time changed to 7:30am. There was no problem at all changing our assigned time.

Spent most of the day playing trivia. One at 11am, the second at 4:30pm, and the final cruise trivia at 8pm. Did not come close to winning any of them. I guess we need to study harder on completely unimportant facts like the composer Wagner's first name (Richard) and Michelangelo's last name (Buonarotti). We were however the only team to know the lightest metal (Lithium) since my 13-year old son participated in an academic decathlon and the subject matter was the periodic table. That was the highlight of his cruise (aside from his first beer).

During our last dinner, we passed by the Great Belt Bridge around 9pm:


Our last breakfast at the buffet at 6am was the only day we ate there that wasn't crowded. Went down to Explorer's lounge at 7:30am and disembarked the ship thereafter. Collected our luggage and waited for a taxi. Well, that's not exactly true - we didn't wait for a taxi. OK, maybe we waited 10 seconds since there was a couple in front us. I can't speak for later groups, but there was no waiting at all for a taxi, and we had to get one that accommodated 5 passengers.

Taxi costed 420 DKK and dropped us off at terminal 3. We had no idea where to check-in so we asked a security personnel and was told to walk to terminal 2 since our flight was with Delta. I believe terminal 3 is for SAS and terminal 2 is for other international airlines. Even though we checked in online, we still had to wait in line so many times to finally board our plane: 1) luggage drop, 2) security, 3) passport control, 4) boarding lounge. So allow yourself plenty of time.

Just before entering the gate, a final reminder that we are leaving Copenhagen:



That's it! (other than the long flight back to Los Angeles via New York/JFK)
