Thank you for the information.

Rotterdam passengers will be interested to know this.

We informed our friends on board ms Rotterdam about that a few days ago and he mailed it was discussed during one of the talks by the excursion desk. So most passengers will know about it. Of course a strike never makes a good impression to tourists.

Better be safe or well informed than sorry !

And agreed , strikes hardly ever leave good impressions , not on citizens either ....

Indeed and probably not all passengers attended, so some will not be informed.

Thanks for the information - good thing is there is enough to see in Rotterdam itself which appears not to be affected and the port is in a good central location that allows both interesting nearby land and water exploration. And there are also the bike tours to take too if you want to get out into the countryside.

 

That said, Holland is a wonderful country to explore by train - and get away from the crowds and see some beautiful scenery and small towns all only a few hours away by train when it is operational - head towards Zutphen is you want to see a far less touristed scenic classic.
