Thank you for reporting back

Happy to read you had a good experience and all went well.
You can argue that the Schiphol VIP-Service mirrors LH FCT / AF La Première but those flag carriers have hubs supporting First Class.
Not many airlines at AMS offer First Class 365 days a year all seasons (EK being the only one, others are seasonal / not daily)
so it is nice to enjoy possible First Class style comforts at a price
Glad you held my spot warm at the Neuhaus chocolate presentation stand !
My next dive into it will be upcoming october ....
