Creator's Key Takeaways

We made some big mistakes today that cost us time and money, and we don't want that happening to you.

Hamburg is literally shut down on a Sunday.

The pizza on here is better. There's a lot more toppings on the actual pizzas, which more cheese, more tomato.

I was very disappointed with it. It was a bit tough as old boots.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Avoid arriving in Hamburg on a Sunday as everything is shut down.
โœ“Consider using Uber instead of the MSC shuttle for a group of four to save time and money.
โœ“Be cautious with the midnight buffet as it may have limited meat options.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cost of shuttle vs. Uber โ€” For a group of four, Uber can be the same price as the MSC shuttle and more convenient.
Sunday closures in Hamburg โ€” Plan your visit to avoid Sundays when everything is shut down.
