Creator's Key Takeaways

We have never seen a queue quite as long as this queue. It went from the entrance into the port building all the way back down to where the shuttle buses drop off.

For my meal tonight, I started with the squid which was really, really nice. It was not rubbery at all and it was an absolutely massive portion.

There were only three security scanners working, which is obviously not enough for a ship of this size.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If you book a select price through P&O, you get a free shuttle bus; otherwise, expect to pay around Β£5 per journey in Hamburg.
βœ“In Hamburg shopping centers, you can get your toilet entry fee back if you make a purchase.
