Thank you! Good to know. My wife and I are also septuagenarians.

Thanks for that information. No, I don't have tickets yet. I will have my alarm clock set for 4am edt, which is 10am Amsterdam time on May 14, exactly 6 weeks before we get to Amsterdam. I want make sure I get tickets. If I don't spend 2 hours there I will just get back to the ship earlier.

All of these caveats are good advice. Fortunately, the tour that I was referring to was the Anne Frank House. There is no tour bus involved. I will have a 1:45 pm ticket and plan to stay about 2 hours max. I believe it's a short cab ride back to the ship. I should be back on the ship long before last call.

What a condescending post. I wasn't planning on "playing chicken". I thought that the ship required us to be back 2 hours before departure. I'm going to take a private tour. That will get me back about an hour before departure. That's not "playing chicken".

I've cruised mostly on Celebrity in the past. They usually tell passengers that they must be back on board one hour before leaving a port. I noticed that NCL, specifically the Prima, says we must be back aboard two hours before leaving a port. How strict is NCL about this? If I get back to the ship one hour before the ship is due to leave, will that be a problem for me? Of do they say that just to make sure the last minute people get back in time?

About half that price if you book it on your own through FlyBus. Just yesterday Flybus quoted me about $36 US

Can anyone tell me how far a walk it is from the pier at Skarfabakki, where an NCL ship might dock, to the Flybus bus stop?

I am planning to visit the Anne Frank House when my cruise on the NCL Pima arrives in Amsterdam in June. Can anyone tell me how far it is from the NCL cruise terminal in Amsterdam to the Anne Frank House? I saw something about it being fairly close to the Cruise Ship Terminal. Is it walking distance? If not, how far an cab ride would it be?

Can anyone tell me which cruise terminal Celebrity uses in Puerto Madryn? It looks like there are two terminals: Muelle Luis Piedra Buena, Puerto Madryn Muelle Almirante Storni, Puerto Madryn I've booked a private tour there and I need to tell the tour company where to pick me up. Thank you

Sadly, that tour doesn't leave Ushuaia until 2:00pm on March 18, the day my Celebrity cruise will be there. It's a 7 hour tour, so it won't work for me. The ship departs at 5:00pm.
