![]() You can pick up a bus tour or train in Amsterdam to go to Gouda for the afternoon, you could spend more time but a half day will give you the flavor. I spent half a day biking the surrounding Amsterdam countryside. Last visit I spent one day and one full evening at the must see sights in Amsterdam, one day walking a more neighborhood like part of town and a quarter day at the outdoor markets. Choose the things you want to see and schedule accordingly. Both Amsterdam and Rotterdam are big cities which I tire of quickly. Between the two cities, how would you recommend splitting the time if we were going to fly to AMS three or 4 days before sailing But you can get that worked out while you are in Amsterdam ahead of time. Our biggest hang up once when leaving the ship in Rotterdam for a few days traveling around Holland, was not having the right change for the metro and on a Sunday morning, no way to get it nor did it take our credit cards - needed a Dutch bank only. Various ways to get to the port after arriving in Rotterdam - there is public transit from the Rotterdam train station, as well as a taxi -great to share the costs with any other cruise passengers who are looking for the same connection. We did the same thing - a few days in Amsterdam, and took the train to Rotterdam on departure day - very easy if you don't have too much luggage to handle. In my experience, you’ll be fine leaving the day of - just leave a bit earlier to be on the safe side. There is also a train that gets there quickly but that means schlepping luggage. And HAL’s original headquarters and the old Rotterdam (now a floating hotel) are there. A lot of our roll call members had private transfers when we arrived in Rotterdam and no issue at all getting to Amsterdam / airport.īut, FWIW Rotterdam is a pretty city. I don’t think you will have any problem at all. Otherwise, it will require two hotel check-in's. drive from Amsterdam, whether we dare wait until the morning of the cruise to drive to drive to the port. ![]() My question, however, is whether we dare take a chance, since Rotterdam is about a 1-1/4 hr. So, I guess we fly into Amsterdam and visit there for a couple of days. We just booked an 18-day cruise from Rotterdam to Boston and have discovered that air service to Rotterdam is very limited.
