Yes Leslie, you need to arrange your own transfers from the airport to the hotel these are not included that I do know.

I really cant get any answers from the rep at Hapag LLoyd. She just says wait until the tickets come in and this will explain everything. I am STILL waiting for the tickets. I checked on these earlier this week and she said "any day now".

When we did the Hanseatic before we flew into the Domestic airport and a transfer was provided to the International airport. However I do not know the answer to this question.

I am also going to try to get a table of 8 and two tables of 6 close together so that we can mix and match and eat with different people within our group at night. This I am told cannot be arranged until we board. It will be the very first thing I do on arrival.
