Just follow the signage to the priority area. Pretty straight forward.

Yes...one of the better locations. Dedicated, electrified passenger rail trackage. Freight runs separate.

Just down the board is a huge thread on Rome in Limo, a wonderful company that operates in Naples, as well as other Italian ports. There are tons of recommendations there. Viator is a broker...they don't provide the actual tour. It is commonly discussed here that it is better for everyone to deal direct with local vendors to provide your desired tour. One of the benefits of working directly with a local vendor is that a vendor can build custom tours. Viator (and the several other brokers commonly mentioned here) will provide an out of the box, cookie cutter tour. If it is possible to visit the locations you desire, considering time and local conditions, the vendor, like Rome in Limo, will make it happen.

Where did you enter and exit the EU at? You should have had stamps at that location. That should have been the only stamps.

Be careful with that assumption. It's not true in most countries. Once you are in that country's waters, you need a visa. On the other hand, some countries don't require a visa for single day cruise ship visits. But your assumption is a mistake.

Have sailed both...just did 14 days on Zaandam. Nothing wrong with either. I would however, take Koningsdam, as it has more entertainment and dining venues. I take understaffing comments with a truckload of salt. People blame everything on understaffing. Conversely, after 14 days on Zaandam that was totally jammed to the gills (Eclipse cruise), I never felt there was any shortage of staff, in any way, at any time.

The cabin next to the Pinnacle Suite is 7061. We had that one for 2 weeks in 2022.

What they offer on any given day is dependent on availability. It can easily be different one from another.

Agree. I think it is too easy to over think this. To quote @BillB48, the best sides are outside and topside...

Actually, that is not true. The original agreements creating Amtrak called for Amtrak to get priority over freight...but it took years of court cases to get the agreements enforced. Amtrak gets priority...that has been a major reason for the improvements in on time performance. However, I still would never, ever, count on Amtrak to get me there the day of sailing.

You can make the flight...unless they change the departure time to earlier, which is not uncommon. You need to get off as early as possible, and have private transport arranged.

That only applies on the Pacific side, not once you get to the Caribbean.

If you are on a day visit, rather than a turn around day, you might be able to use 30-32,if 35 isn't available..

I absolutely wouldn't be arriving the day of sailing. While Amtrak's on time performance has improved, I would never trust them so much as to arrive the day of sailing.

The high forward SCs...based on several comments on CC.
