Amstersdam to Rotterdam with Luggage

[stipmom]

Just booked Celebrity Century for 2007. Will fly into Amsterdam a few days early to see the sights but the ship leaves from Rotterdam. What would be the best way to get there?

As mentioned in the Baltic board:

 

I am sure Celebrity will offer transfers by that time.

Otherwise indeed the train, but from the station in Rotterdam you either have to take a cab, the metro or the tram. The last 2 not great with luggage however.

From the airport schiphol there are small shuttlebuses that can bring you there too. check www.schiphol.nl for fares and more details.

 

Another option can be to take connecting flights to Rotterdam airport by transfering at London. There are a few daily flights. However you miss Amsterdam then.

 

I donot understand why Celebrity choose Rotterdam (maybe lower portcharges?) as it is not very convenient for arriving and departing passengers.
