Hi again , my thinking is that with a cab we get off ship and the taxi is there waiting for us (this would be prearranged). With the train have to walk to tram, wait for tram, ride tram, wait for train at centraal Rotterdam, ride train then arrive at centraal Amsterdam after a stop at Schipol. While the train is faster once on it, it’s this extra waiting around that adds time to trip. I would want to get to each stop atleast 5-10 mins early so not to have to rush to catch trains since we’ve never been to these cities
The above is my thought process , 2 adults 2 teen girls , 8.5 hour total window to disembark/embark. Also , this would be a Sunday if that changes the calculus at all
thank you for your feedback
