Great service to move around the waters of Rotterdam in a fast and furious way and avoid long detours using the bridges. A single ride ticket in the centre of Rotterdam is 4,50 euros. There are numerous stops, such as the boarding platform on the water side of the SS Rotterdam ocean liner (now a permanently parked hotel).

We planed a day trip from Rotterdam to Kinderdijk. We took waterbus #20 from Erasmusbrug (Rotterdam) to Kade to rent bikes. When we stopped at De Schans, the captain came to us and asked if we are going to Kinderdijk and we should transfer at this stop if we are. It's very nice that they try to remind tourists not to miss their stops! We use OV chip and have to tap in/out, it's under 3 euro per trip. The overall experience was great.

Just returned from a mini break in Amsterdam and we were really impressed with the ferry. We had a club class suite, as there was 5 of us. It was really spacious, a double bed and 3 bunks, television, tea and coffee making facilities and a full mini bar, which was all complimentary. The room and en-suite bathroom was incredibly clean, we were very impressed. We enjoyed a few drinks in the Irish Bar and in the Skylounge, which we really enjoyed sitting in, it was very relaxed and comfortable, with a very relaxed vibe. We had a terrible crossing going to Rotterdam, we’re were caught in Storm Dennis, but, we arrived safely. I would recommend using the safety belts provided on the top bunks, I felt more comfortable knowing that the kids were strapped in. Coming home was much calmer, we ate in The Kitchen, which was an all you can eat buffet, there was lots of options to choose from and it was really tasty and great value for money....especially when you have 3 teenagers to feed! Every member of staff makes you feel so special, they’re incredibly polite and helpful. The ship had 2 cinema screens, so the kids went to watch a couple of films, while we had a few quiet drinks in the skylounge, which was great! Can’t fault these ferry journeys, you take your chances with the weather, some people will complain if the crossing was awful, but, they would complain even more if their journey was cancelled because of the poor weather. It’s not P&O‘s fault, blame Mother Nature, don’t let this put you off this form of travel. We’ve been to Zebrugge and Rotterdam now with P&O and would thoroughly recommend travelling with them.
