Rare SandyR5 Posted January 11, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Hi - Celebrity has just changed all Apex sailings from/to Amsterdam to Rotterdam. This means everyone coming in early has already booked hotels in Amsterdam. We need to get to the new port in Rotterdam now instead of a quick Uber or walk to the port in Amsterdam. Has anyone flown into Amsterdam and traveled to Rotterdam? Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare irvington Posted January 11, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I'm interested in this too. We have a hotel in Amsterdam but assuming we may just take a train the day of embarkation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ine Posted January 11, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) You can take one of the frequent trains between Amsterdam and Rotterdam, https://www.ns.nl/ However you need to put your luggage into and from the train yourself. Space is limited. From Rotterdam Centraal either the underground and walk a short distance from the stop toe the terminal. This site gives a lot of information too, https://9292.nl/en May be Celebrity will offer a shuttle service? I am not sure maybe Uber works on that distance. Or else you can contact this company: https://www.dagtoertaxi.nl/ Edited January 11, 2023 by Ine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harola Posted January 11, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2023 It is very easy to take the train from Amsterdam to Rotterdam at least Four times an hour. From Amsterdam Centraal trains are going to Rotterdam Centraal. Here you can take a metro to the Wilhelminapier. It is also easy to take the train from Schiphol AirPort. The train station is underneath the airport. Check the website NS.nl in English 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarissaJay Posted January 11, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I'm wondering the same thing. Sounds like taxis and ubers are generally a good way to get around... would either of those options be able to transport us from our hotel in Amsterdam to the port in Rotterdam? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallyCruzer Posted January 20, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 20, 2023 How far is the Rotterdam train station from the cruise port? Is this something we can walk to or need taxi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ine Posted January 21, 2023 #12 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Too far to walk. Either a cab or the metro which leaves from close to the bridge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Various hotels are names on this site. Check e.d. Banks Mansion, Doubletree at Centraal Station or Movenpick next to the cruise terminal. Use the search function for mote hotels For transportation if you donot want to take the train get in contact with this private driver: https://www.dagtoertaxi.nl/ Other option is either Uber or a cab from e.g. https://www.staxi.nl/en/ or https://amsterdamtaxicentrale.com/en/ Maybe your cruiseline offers a shuttle? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love4trvl Posted February 4, 2023 #22 Share Posted February 4, 2023 We will be arriving at Schippel Airport on May 5 and want to stay near the port for our cruise on the 6th. I heard that there is a train or subway from the airport to take us there in about 25 minutes. And when we deboard on May 20th we will need to get to the airport. Any suggestions for us? There will be 6 of us. Thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poconolady Posted February 10, 2023 #25 Share Posted February 10, 2023 We have been changed to disembarking in Rotterdam. Wondering if Celebrity will offer a bus service to Schipol, for a cost, of course. Haven’t booked air yet, this could make a difference in timing of flight.
