Embarkation
We arrived in Rotterdam the night before the cruise. Our hotel the Rotterdam Hilton was extremely tired but within a quick taxi ride to the cruise terminal. We arrived at the terminal around 1 PM as specified by the cruise line directions. There were a large number of passengers who obviously had received the same directions. At first I thought this was going to be a bad beginning to our cruise. But lines moved smoothly and everything was extremely well organized. When we arrived in our cabin all luggages was accounted for and prearranged flowers and reservations were waiting.
