dgcruises Posted April 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Is there a taxi line for passengers getting off a cruise ship. Have read that in Amsterdam you need to be sure to get a legitimate taxi service or you could get ripped off. We are only going a short distance but with suitcases we would prefer to ride. Can't be sure our phone will work to call a taxi company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted April 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 24, 2018 yes there is a line but you could always walk to the Movenpick & see if they will get one for you as well You could prebook one then have them meet you just email them the night before to confirm I use this one but there are others https://www.schipholtraveltaxi.nl/en/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ine Posted April 24, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 24, 2018 There will be a line, difficult to tell how long. I am sorry to say they sometimes overcharge.Apart from a cab, you might consider using Uber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted April 25, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 25, 2018 We just returned from a few days post cruise in Amsterdam and used Uber to get us from the ship to the B&B and then from the B&B to the airport. We waited till we were at the meeting place outside the terminal to order the Uber ride. Our wait was under 10 minutes. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadarocks Posted April 26, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I am embarrassed to admit that I have absolutely no experience with Uber. We'll be arriving in Amsterdam from a Scenic river cruise. How to I arrange an Uber pickup to take us to our B&B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anxious to see what they did in dry-dock. Will be using uber both ways for our 3 day stay after the cruise. Was uberx available or was it only uber black? Hope you enjoyed your cruise even with the stormy weather Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can input the address into their form & it will give you a quote https://www.schipholtraveltaxi.nl/en/reserve/34/ I am sure there will be some taxis there at the dock if not just get the cruise line to call one for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare itsanita Posted May 1, 2018 #13 Share Posted May 1, 2018 We are looking for a cab from our canal guest house to the port. Is there a taxi/cab service website that we can use ? We will not be going to the airport, so cannot use the one listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its also probable that the Canal guest house can arrange for transportation to pick you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
