Rotterdam

Perhaps I can help a little as know this area quite well. Definitely talking about the Netherlands!
The  trip from Rotterdam to Amsterdam will not be a “transfer” but an excursion. The distance time by coach, probably 80  minutes minimum each way.

However, Cunard used to run the coach from ship to Rotterdam central, by shuttle to near the station. From here, one can take the train about 15mins, to Delft, known as the mini Amsterdam. It is glorious, less crowded, very historic and the Dutch royal tombs can be visited.

Google Delft, and then look at “images”! I am sure you will not be disappointed. Beautiful cafes/restaurants, walks by canals, open squares and all less crowded. Certainly a mini Amsterdam and an absolute pleasure.

Rotterdam was destroyed in the war, so not historic, but worth a quick look if you have time to spare. The swan bridge is a great piece of modern engineering, near the normal berth for Cunard ships.
