catlet Posted May 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 20, 2023 We are booked on a 21 day Norway cruise leaving Amsterdam that is also available as a 7 day and a 14 day itinerary. Will we be required to get off the ship in Amsterdam on our return after the first 7 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffElizabeth Posted May 20, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 20, 2023 It can be quite nice having a leisurely morning with all the pandemonium around you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Native Floridian 26 Posted May 20, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) How is this different? We just sailed the 14 day Transatlantic to BCN, but people also booked it for 7 more days, terminating in Rome. The ship was required to get to a zero count in BCN, so everyone had to get off. If continuing to Rome, they could get back on. Edited May 20, 2023 by Native Floridian 26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the situation in BCN had to do with arriving in the EU. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiting2retire Posted May 20, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I was also surprised we did not have to leave the ship on our recent b2b in Amsterdam and wondered if it was because our ports were all in Schengen countries. I had a lovely relaxing morning on the ship 😊 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopykat Posted May 21, 2023 #8 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I’m changing cabins. I’m not sure how that will affect this procedure. Does anyone have experience with this in Amsterdam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have experience with this in Amsterdam? It doesn’t affect anything. You just need to pack what is in your drawers and toiletries and those items hanging in your closet and suitcases will be moved to your new cabin. Don’t forget your safety deposit box and keep those with you until you go in your new room. You will be given a key for it and be all set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiting2retire Posted May 21, 2023 #10 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I did change rooms on my recent b2b out of Amsterdam and I did exactly as @kazu stated and packed up everything except clothing on hangars in the closet. I went for breakfast, took my ereader to the Crow’s Nest and had a latte and read for a while. I then stopped by the front desk to pick up my new key card and went to my new room. Looked like embarkation day with my suitcases waiting for me except that the “hanging up” was already done for me 😁. They even moved the very wilted flowers we had picked up at Keukenhof prior to the first leg of the cruise as well as some leftover water I had forgotten about in the refrigerator. Very efficient process! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
