I found the journey from Schwarzenbek to Hamburg very relaxing. I didn't have to change trains and the train wasn't delayed. There weren't many passengers in my compartment either, so it was very quiet. There were plenty of power sockets and an internet connection and I found the seats comfortable. The staff were always friendly and helpful when checking tickets. My compartment was clean, as were the toilets. There was a snack vending machine, but unfortunately many of the products were already sold out. Otherwise, a really recommendable journey!
