janny444 Posted April 23, 2021 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Can anyone please tell me if this berth is actually at the main port in Amsterdam ...near the port terminal .....just up the road from Amsterdam Central rail station. I have tried to find the actual berth but not sure where I should be looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks as if it is - link attached with information. https://www.amsterdamtips.com/amsterdam-cruise-ship and scroll down this one for the word "handeslskade" which suggests that this will be the terminal used. https://www.nedcruise.info/cruise terminals.htm Edited April 23, 2021 by nosapphire added link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi...yes we were affected by that so wanted to be sure that the cruise we are going to book on for Dec 2022 was not Ijmuiden/Rotterdam. I emailed P&O and asked which dock/berth they are going to dock at and they confirmed Handelskade berth....hence my question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Ijmuiden! Have P&O switched back again then, I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
