Disembarkation Day - Kiel - Hamburg - London 21st May, 2016

Today was disembarkation day.  After dropping our hand luggage at the cloak room, we had a leisurely breakfast in the dining room.  Then met with Donna and Lena and waited for to disembark.  We had a transfer booked from Kiel to Hamburg Airport, usually about 1 hrs drive, however due to roadworks it took over 1 1/2hrs.  We arrived at Hamburg Airport about 1 pm and after saying goodbye to Donna and Lena (who are spending another night in Hamburg) we headed through security - which was an absolute nightmare !!1to the departure lounge to await our flight to London, at 4.55pm.

We arrived at Heathrow Airport at about 5.40pm and caught a Taxi to our apartment in Kensington.  Our apartment was not the original one we had booked - we received an email while on the cruise to say that the location had been changed due to renovations !! The apartment was not great - the air conditioning wasn't working, which meant we had to leave the window open, which meant it was very noisy, and the apartment was smaller than we had booked.  After making a complaint, the staff at the Apartment were very helpful, and advised that they would move us to a larger apartment towards to back of the building, while were out and about tomorrow.
