Ylf Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Was in Rotterdam early 2000’s Was in the shipyards when our rig was in dry dock. Out a few times and had a really good time. Got the train to Amsterdam as well. Enjoyed both places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Terrific city and well worth spending time there. Handy for day trips to a host of beautiful towns round about too. I combined the stay with a game at Feyenoord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mantis Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Went in the train from Amsterdam to de Kuip with Mrs Mantis back in the days of van Hooijdonk as the Ajax fixture had been moved to the night before we arrived. Saw a pretty dull 0-0 with NAC Breda . Amazing how the away support have their own platform at the station and are escorted over a walkway to the away end without encountering anybody else More recently, stayed one night there at the women’s Euro 17. I was determined to spend a night in the Cube Houses and managed to persuade the Mrs even though it’s a hostel. Was terrific though. The Oude Haven is just round the corner from it. Loved it all apart from €20 per day parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually do the ferry once or twice a year as get it for nothing through work. I can't say much for Rotterdam itself, only spent a few hours there waiting for the coach back to the boat but the areas close by have a lot to offer, lovely beaches and costal towns. The Ferry is good fun, entertainment is that awful it's good. The crowd can make it a bit more exciting, weekends usually the bar is populated the hen and stag parties. Rest of the facilities are pretty decent, piano bar, cinema, al la carte restaurant, buffet restaurant. Usually some excellent deals in the shop for alcohol as well.
