Hamburg, Germany Cruise Port Day 🍺 | Brewery Excursion & Tight Timing (Day 6)
Hamburg, Germany was our Day 6 port stop on Independence of the Seas, and it was a short but memorable one. With all-aboard at 3:30 PM, this port day was all about timing, logistics, and choosing an excursion that actually fit the schedule. For this stop, we booked a brewery excursion, giving us a chance to see parts of Hamburg, learn about the city’s industrial history, and taste authentic German beer — all within a very limited port window. One stop on our excursion included Blockbräu, a well-known brewery along the Hamburg harbor. In this video: • Arriving in Hamburg, Germany • A look at the industrial port and city layout • Short port timing and late start realities • Brewery excursion and beer tasting • Learning how German beer is brewed and fermented • Making it back onboard just before all-aboard • Dinner at Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen • Ending the night back in the cabin Hamburg is a very different kind of cruise port — more industrial, less historic, and heavily shaped by its harbor and World War II history. This video shows what a realistic Hamburg cruise port day can look like when time is limited. If you enjoy honest cruise vlogs that show both the highlights and the logistics, I hope this Day 6 episode is helpful. 👉 If you’d like help planning a cruise or choosing the right excursions, you can reach me here at no extra cost: https://getbyzach.com Zach is an independent contractor for MEI-Travel (mei-travel.com) #royalcaribbean #independenceoftheseas #hamburg
