Just click on English and it will be translated. No need to select text, just right click in it anywhere This is what I did to your post quoted here to turn it into English. What browser? It doesn't seem to work in Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I right click in what your wrote and a pop up appears with a quite a few options to choose. Click on translate and another pop up appears in which you can choose which language you want by clicking on the dots and them selecting the preferred language. English is the default for me. Then click on the translate box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then click on the translate box. Opening Google Translate is probably easier. Just put the text into the box, and it will usually figure out what language it is in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be expensive, but I am sure any taxi service will do that. Just mail the ones I mentoned in an earlier post with your request. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a few questions and emailed them from the contact link on their website; no response. I received a pdf confirmation from them in Dutch and asked for a translation. No response. I tried emailing the address on the website; address bounced back. I was concerned about not hearing back so I booked with another company. They are 42eros from airport to the Marriott. Can you tell me the name of the taxi company you booked? I will be needing one in October and I'm trying to see how much they are all charging.

Ashland Posted August 20, 2022 #32 Share Posted August 20, 2022 We were just recently cruising in/out of Amsterdam. Plenty of taxi's lined up at AMS really no reason to feel the need to pre-reserve. We used one to get to our hotel then the hotel called one for us to get to the cruise port then again plenty lined up for our return cruise end day to get back to AMS.

XuGator Posted August 29, 2022 #41 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Uber works so well in Amsterdam and is cheaper than taxi service. Prearranging is way too much work as Ubers are everywhere. We used Uber about 10 times last week in Amsterdam and never waited more than 5 minutes for a ride. Save your time , stress and money and just use Uber.

As far as I know they pick up at or near the parking area at the Sheraton airport hotel. May I ask about bus 397 from airport to the end of the line(staying at Hotel Weichman) -how do you pay? Is it easy to find the bus stop? I only have 1 carryon so I don't mind walking if I have to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash payment is not possible.• At the mobile ticketoffice (central square outside Schiphol Plaza) daily 9:00-18:00hrs. The Amsterdam Airport Express departs from bus stop B17. When you exit Schiphol Plaza and walk to the right you will come across bus stop B17. You can see the route from Schiphol to the bus stop on the map. Bus 397 departs every 7.5 minutes from bus stop B17. At night you can take Niteliner N97every 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Not only cheaper but more convenient as well. Open the Uber app now from home and change the pickup spot to your Amsterdam hotel and enter AMS as the destination and it will tell you the wait time and price.

I did this for an AMS ride tomorrow at 6:30 am and price goes up a little to 43 for this option which is still cheaper than taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
