Is there a shuttle bus departing cruise terminal in Rotterdam to city center?

There was 4 years ago, my husband was sick and we had to cancel our excursion. I took the shuttle into town and walked around.

We've been in Rotterdam 4x on Princess ships and there's always been a shuttle. The terminal is on the south side of the Maas river while all the attractions/downtown are on the north side. The terminal is very near the amazing Erasmus bridge if one wants to walk into town, but we've always taken the shuttle and "saved" our walking to see the sights. I believe the first stop is near the Markthal, a relatively new indoor market, which is an attraction in and of itself. The shuttle drives by various sights and makes multiple stops; the driver (or a guide) points them out. So it's a mini-tour, too. I've gotten off at Markthal and walked as far as the RR station (Rotterdam Centraal), another newish architectural gem. The city is full of the latter because the city center was bombed out during WWII unfortunately. But it gave architects a blank slate to design new and daring buildings there. Enjoy!

Amsterdam is a wonderful place, what with all its canals and interesting old buildings along them including the Rijksmuseum, a huge art museum. Enjoy!

Is anyone purchasing rt rail ticket to Amersterdam on day we arrive in Rotterdam? I don't want to pre purchase in case we decide not to go. I love Amsterdam and just roaming around.
