Creator's Key Takeaways

You do not need to stand in those lines to go buy tickets and figure out what kind of a ticket you need, etc. Don't do that. Skip the line.

The Netherlands is a pretty green country and we were not entirely surprised to see a protest going on outside the cruise port upon our return back to the ship.

If you are traveling with luggage and you're trying to use the metro to get to the airport or to central station, it's really not as hard as it would seem.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use a credit or debit card to tap in and out of the metro/train system instead of waiting in ticket lines.
Download the NS app for free to find train schedules, routes, and potential discounts.
Ensure you are in the second class coach when using credit card tap-on/tap-off tickets.
The Darterdam Hotel is a highly recommended option for those embarking in Rotterdam due to its proximity to the terminal.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Navigating with luggageLook for stations with elevators and escalators like Wilhelminaplein and Rotterdam Central; use the moving walkways in the metro.
Buying ticketsSkip the ticket lines and simply use a contactless credit or debit card at the gates.
