Brandenburg Gate Berlin, Germany - Costa Atlantica Day 7

We arrived at Warnemunde and took a long bus ride to Berlin.


Brandenburg Gate

Most if not all the German passengers had disembarked in the morning. This was our last evening on the ship and the last meal would be forgettable. The meals  on the cruise started out decent but as the days progressed, it just seemed to fall flat.








This was it, the last night. The next morning we would be in Denmark heading home.

The Train from Warnemunde to Berlin would take 3 hours. Plus the runs were limited. With such time involved, we bit the bullet and took an expensive excursion to Berlin. After seeing all the sights that we did, I believe it was better to go this route.
