Question is timing and cost. We do not want to miss the ship. What would a taxi cost from Amsterdam to Rotterdam?
We were woundering about third party tour operators in the various ports. We saw them all over Alaska and the Caribbean but were unsure of the European ports. Also, we have heard that grabbing a taxi at a port is not always a smart idea.
Amsterdam to Rotterdam will cost you a fortune, think $125. Sorry I don't know of any prearranged tours...
If you plan things right, and leave a lot of "in case" time then you won't run into any problems, and IF you do, you can always grab a train to Zeebrugge and meet up with the ship the next morning... Cabs at the port won't be a problem, all cabs in Holland are regulated and metered. If you are off the ship by 8:30 you are at Rotterdam central station by 8:45, can be in Amsterdam by 10. play it safe and leave Amsterdam around 2:30 or 3, that way you will have a good 5 hours to tour the city...
