If I get to the cruise ship terminal early .. Is there a canal tour that leaves rightt in front of the terminal ?

None that I am aware of that leave from the PTA - although we did notice some canal cruise boats docked near the front of the Movenpick hotel (don't have a clue about these) . There are many choices that depart from the front of Centraal Station - a very short walk from the terminal.

The green line of the hopon off canalboat stops near the cruise terminal. However it is seasonal and more expensive then the regular canalboattours.  https://www.citysightseeingamsterdam.nl/en/tickets/hop-on-hop-off-boat-tour-24-h/

The regular tours are nicer I think. As mentioned those leave in front of Centraal Station.

If the weather's fine,, walk just 3 minutes further, onto Damrak, where you'll find small (about 20 pax) open eco-boats .

Everyone has a seat on the side, no glassed-in superstructure to spoil your photos, personal narration & inter-action with the captain, goes down little canals not possible in the big boats. Electric-powered , quiet and fume-free - - in the bigger boats you'll catch the engine fumes when they negotiate tight corners.  Magical, and the fare only a euro or two more.

Can be pre-booked on-the-day. If there's a line, book for later in the day then carry on walking down Damrak to Dam Square, Red Light District, etc.
