By this point in the cruise, I am feeling lousy. For some reason, my normal seasonal allergies which are controlled with antihistamine, were running amok. Non-stop running nose, post-nasal drop clogging up my throat, lots of coughing to clear my throat, and no stamina. As in walking half a block, stopping to rest, walking a bit more, stopping to rest.
Our arrival at Fredericia, Denmark was greeted by pretty much the whole town. There was a cannon salute (with the tiniest miniature cannons I have ever seen). Apparently we were around the fourth cruise ship to dock there this year. At most of our other stops, we were among 4 to 8 cruise ships docking per day.
At the end of the day, the town, including local dignataries, turned out to give us a band concert, with people in historical native attire, waving flags and waving at us. It was great!
I decided to skip the shore excursion to Copenhagen, and thus missed the statue of the Little Mermaid. And I ended up having to resort to a wheelchair at the airports. We had paid for a shuttle bus from the ship to the airport, but it was ahike to the bus, and then the bus dropped us off at terminal 1 and we needed to be at terminal 2. By the time we got to the ticket counter, I was done in.
Since we had "premium economy" tickets, we had access to the business lounge, which included comfortable waiting, soup and a variety of snacks, and assorted beverages.
