Cruise port to hotel- Amsterdam

[sally4909]

Our group of 8  will be on the Relection of the Seas round trip Amsterdam. We will be staying in Amsterdam for a couple of days after the cruise and need transportation to Banks Mansion. It is easy to get transportation from the airport to the ship, but am having trouble finding ship to hotel. If anyone has suggestions for private transportation, it would be appreciated. We do not want to go by Train or other public transportation. Thanks so much.

I've just used Uber most of the times I've been in Amsterdam in the past few years. Very easy and a good value.

Having docked at Amsterdam’s cruise passenger terminal last year, I know the city center is in walking distance. Therefore, I’m guessing taxis must be plentiful at the terminal.

Taxi lines at the pier tend to be long and slow in Amsterdam.  Check out these folks.

We have used them all over Europe without any problems.

Thank you to everyone for your suggestions. I have an uber account in the US. Can that be used in Amsterdami? I will lokk into airportstaxitransfers.com. as well.

It sure can - the fare will be charged in local currency so it may trigger an additional foreign transaction fee depending on the credit card linked to your account. Otherwise, the app works just like it does in the US. 

 

One difference, though, are the cars themselves. Most cars are small and have limited trunk space. While there may be the same 'XL' option, there may not be many 'XL' cars when you need one. Just something to consider if you will be traveling with lots of luggage.

When we were there there were buses waiting outside the port area taking people to the central station area.  It seems like they were about 3 euros.

Your ship can order you a private transport... 8 people and luggage will be a challenge, you will need two.....also Ubers are less $$ than taxi's
