Iamthesea Posted February 1, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I am not seeing much information from doing a search on this board. :o A group of us have booked a taxi service to get from the Amsterdam cruise port (Celebrity) to the Schiphol Airport. I have just received my confirmation from this transport service. We are instructed to meet the driver (at 7:00am) in front of the Subway restaurant, located outside the main exit. Not knowing what the port looks like, I have no idea where this Subway is and how long a walk the main exit at the port is. I have experience with other European ports, and the main exits are usually far away from the ship. :eek: Could someone enlighten me? The transportation service is through City Airport Taxis, which was recommended by someone on CC. Now I am second guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ine Posted February 1, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) The terminal is a not large compact building. I donot remember seeing a subway (probably got there recently), but I am sure it will be impossible to miss. Parking/stopping in front or next to the terminal is almost impossible, since cars will be blocking the entrance to the parking garage. Most likely that is why the driver asked you to meet at a specific place. http://www.ptamsterdam.nl/index_en.php?site=cruises&hc=passenger-information&sc=facilities Edited February 1, 2014 by Ine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted February 1, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) When you come out of the terminal turn left there is a Subway sandwich shop on the corner of the building It is less than 2 min walk from the PTA building If you see the Movenpick hotel you have gone the wrong way You cannot miss it, it was there in 2010 so nothing new ;) Edited February 1, 2014 by LHT28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_mori7 Posted February 2, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 2, 2014 MADflyer is correct...I didn't remember seeing it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted February 2, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Having a photo is better than words, but is there someplace that I can see a map of the port? Funny thing about the location of the Subway store is that it is next to IJToren. Not sure what that place is, but the hotel we are staying in, in Amsterdam, is called The Toren. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ine Posted February 2, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Toren means Tower. So IJtoren is just the name of the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamthesea Posted February 2, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted February 2, 2014 MADflyer - The first link is exactly what I needed. I could not find anything like it on the PTA website. Thank you! Toren means Tower. So IJtoren is just the name of the building. Toren/Tower makes sense. I guess the Boutique Hotel is named Toren because it is tall and narrow.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberts2005 Posted February 4, 2014 #12 Share Posted February 4, 2014 We are ending a cruise on the Prinsendam on. may 24. Is Ijmuiden the same port you are talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted February 4, 2014 #13 Share Posted February 4, 2014 We are ending a cruise on the Prinsendam on. may 24. Is Ijmuiden the same port you are talking about? No it is further out from the port in the centre of Amsterdam If you do a search for Ijmuiden there is some info that INE has posted before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ine Posted February 4, 2014 #14 Share Posted February 4, 2014 We are ending a cruise on the Prinsendam on. may 24. Is Ijmuiden the same port you are talking about? No unfortunately not. IJmuiden is about 20 miles or more outside/west of Amsterdam. IJmuiden has a new terminal, but that is about it. Your best option might be a possible shuttle by the cruiseline. I am sure cabs will be there but will be expensive, either to get to Amsterdam or the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
