  • Welcome to Episode 2 of my 2021 Christmas Spectacular. I'm featuring some magical European adventures around Europe during December 2021! In this trip report video I rode the the Deutsche Bahn DB ICE high speed train from Amsterdam Centraal Station to Frankfurt am Main station, a wonderful and relaxing ride in first class!

    Hello! Could you help me with my doubt:
    Do those trains (ICD, IC, ICE) accept large suitcases (22kg) in second class?

    • @HDjeff
      @HDjeff  2 роки тому +1

      I know you won’t be able to check anything over 50 lbs but if your bag is a reasonable size you can carry it on the train and leave on the luggage racks it should be fine.

      1 Suitcase max 85x85x85 cm (33x33x33 inch) and 1 hand luggage. If you like to keep your luggage close to yourself, use the luggage racks above the seats, or put it under your chair. In those cases maximum size is 70x50x30 cm (27.5x19.5x11.8 inch). Criterium: you have to be able to handle your luggage yourself (there is no assistance from personel). Not any mention on weight.

      @giamkaelyn I doubt you’ll have a problem, there is plenty of space but may be helpful to check their policies just in case.

    I remember Christmas when I worked on a cruise ship. Most of the passengers were Jewish and it was still fun. Anyhow, I lived in the Middle East, and I really enjoyed Ramadan. It has a similar holiday feeling as Christmas, lights everywhere, people are happy, food is fantastic at night, and it lasts one month. Thanks for the upload. I’m going from Mannheim to Amsterdam this Christmas, I only paid just under 2 Euros with the vouchers I had. Thank you for the upload.

      That’s awesome, what cruise line did you work for? I’ve noticed many non-Christian nations do a great job celebrating Christmas but I would love to experience Ramadan in the Middle East as well! Enjoy your Christmas in Amsterdam, that’s amazing you’re taking that trip for only €2! I’ll be working on another Amtrak video and an MSC cruise video for the holidays this year. 🎄
