We have booked a flight on TAP from Lisbon to Copenhagen, Denmark, and the printed reservation came through reading Amager, Denmark. TAP cannot tell me why is says that and will not change it. Is Amager another name for the Copenhagen airport? Also, does anyone know a reasonably priced place to stay in Copenhagen?
We are picking up a cruise in Copenhagen. Does anyone know where the cruise port is located and if there is public transportation between the airport and the cruise port. If so, how long would it take to get from one to the other?

I am also getting on a cruise in Copenhagen, here is what I found about the port.
Where You're Docked
Copenhagen offers two major port facilities. The first, more heavily visited by ships making simple day calls, is Langelinie Pier, about 1 1/2 miles from the city's center. It's a delightful port area, with a series of shops and cafes right on hand, and is a mere 10-minute walk into the city (taxis are also available). The Copenhagen Information Center is located here and also can offer money changing services (and ATMs).
On the other hand, the Freeport Terminal, about two miles from town, is frequently used by ships for which Copenhagen is a port of embarkation or debarkation. There are neither services nor an ATM nearby (though taxis often take credit cards), and the nearest train into town is a healthy 15 - 20 minute walk away.
As well, when big ships use this facility as a turnaround port, beware that cabs may be in short supply; you may want to arrange for a ride in advance or take advantage of your cruise line's transfer services.
I hope this helps!

Copenhagen Airport is located on the small island of Amager, 8 km from the city centre, and it is definitely the only airport on this island. But usually, the airport is referred to as Copenhagen Airport, or sometimes Kastrup Airport. Copenhagen has only got one airport.
You can be certain that your flight originates at Copenhagen Airport.
There are two cruise docks at Copenhagen. If you can indicated which of the two, Langelinie or Freeport, I could give you advice re. public transportation.

My wife and I stayed at the ?FREDENSBORG HOSTEL in Copenhagen two years ago. Is is located north of the city center and has separate rooms for two at a reasonable price with breakfast. Very quiet and clean.
Do a google search for "hostels Copenhagen" and read about them. As I remember there are several, but you can better choose after you read about them.
