Rare BennyBrun Posted June 14, 2022 Author #641 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Day 12 Amsterdam Airport … the security line was about 2 hours to be screened!!! Plan accordingly!!! Luckily I have SkyPriority so I was able to use the premium security line and that took about 10 minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted June 14, 2022 Author #642 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Day 12 Taking in the view at Royal KLM Lounge before my flight … you should follow the boarding procedure/ time set by your airline … they do have additional document checks and the gate will close. They have a lot of security personnel to do checks! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey & Sophie Posted June 15, 2022 #643 Share Posted June 15, 2022 How fast do you walk? You'd be quite great tour guide but I don't think I could keep up! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BennyBrun Posted June 15, 2022 Author #645 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Back at Home… Its good to be home! I really enjoyed the itinerary of this cruise and loved every port I visited. While some excursions were great others fell short and was pricey and not worth the money. Do you research and ask yourself is this port a place I can manage with a group together or do I need NCL excursion. Look at the online map so you have an idea where you are and whats around you. Look up the places the excursion will take you and check out the reviews. The more information you have the better choices you will make. I tested negative for Covid but I know that the hostess from La Cucina got pulled into quarantine mid cruises d at least one cruiser tested positive because I was at the gym and overheard that medical called this person to tell him he tested positive but he told them he never got tested. People did sign up to get tested… also in Netherlands if you test positive they have to take your passport for at least 5 days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvcruzing Posted June 15, 2022 #646 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Thanks, Benny, for another excellent review. Clearly you put a lot of effort into this, and it was wonderful following along on your adventure. You took me places I will probably never visit. I am definitely going back at a leisurely pace to take another look at all the fabulous photos and videos you posted. Welcome home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecslady Posted June 16, 2022 #648 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I really enjoyed your review. Makes me want to go back and do another British Isles cruise and of course, Amsterdam. Such a fun city! Hope you continue to stay covid negative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
