Rare Jim_Iain Posted May 25, 2023 Author #2109 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Well we are on the way home. Things we learned. At the Rotterdam Rsil Station if you buy a group ticket (discounted) for 2 or more it doesn’t permit you to get to platform and nail after 9 (non-commute time). We only had to wait 15 minutes and ther was an EC Express train waiting for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted May 25, 2023 Author #2110 Share Posted May 25, 2023 After security there is a passport area. Very long line on right but short self service line I. Left for US, EC and British passport. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted May 25, 2023 Author #2111 Share Posted May 25, 2023 United’s Lounge and they directed us to Cafe that had been turned into a makeshift lounge. Very crowded but finally found a place to sit. Offerings are limited and very disappointing for a lounge experience 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had always planned on using the street tram in Rotterdam until your trip report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found it easy with 4 of us and 4 suitcases and carry one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted May 25, 2023 Author #2118 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Still at AMS. Flight had a mechanical issue and running about 1 hour 20 minutes so far. One of those delays they keep pushing back 30 minutes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted May 25, 2023 Author #2119 Share Posted May 25, 2023 For those considered Celebrities Shuttles. When we left the ship at 7:45 there was a line of 500-750 waiting to board busses. Not sure what was causing delays as ther were 3 or 4 busses in the lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stopped using Celebrity shuttles post Covid and now book only private transport to and from the ship. In US ports we use Uber for our transports.

Not for us but many connecting to Asia and western destinations are affected. They say one we are airborne the will begin working on connections for those affected.
