Great video and thanks for taking us along. Our daughter is going in a couple of weeks with a friend and is certainly looking forward to the trip. Yes she only paid about £25, which included breakfast on the day she arrives in Amsterdam, as well as the bus transfers. With such a cheap fare, why would she consider paying more than this on the evening meal, although no doubt it is lovely. Initially she decided to miss the second breakfast as she'll arrive early morning in North Shields and so will be home (after I meet her) at about 9 .. but maybe she could just pay for it on the day of she's hungry :)
Glad to hear you had a good time! Yeah we would agree that the price is definitely not bad considering what you get. Hope you managed to squeeze in some cool activities in Amsterdam - you probably had slightly better weather than us at least! Thanks for watching 😊
Amsterdam looks beautiful, even though it was raining! I'm always worried about travelling since I'm a vegetarian and food can sometimes be an issue. The vegan restaurant looked incredible - so happy to know I can add Amsterdam to my list of places to visit!
hi ..great review ...how did ya get the price so cheap ..i have looked into booking for next sept and the price is £300+ for 2 adults foot passengers basic inside cabin thats not including bus transfers or food ??? any help would be great ty
The dinner buffet looks really good, a wide choice of foods. I would have gone for the proteins and vegetables, and not the deepfried battered stuff and the breads.
Booked for November, could you please tell me information on parking and leaving our car at the port in Newcastle untill we return? Sail Friday and return Sunday morning, excellent video thanks
Hi Chris! We found parking at the port very straightforward as everything is really well signposted on arrival. We parked in the Port of Tyne car park and it was only about a 1 minute walk over to the ferry. Parking is free for the first 4 hours and £12 per day afterwards. The car park seemed very secure and we felt safe leaving the car there. Once you return on Sunday morning, there is a booth at the terminal to pay before you leave (it is not possible to pay in advance). Here is the parking example from the Port of Tyne website which is the same as what we did: DFDS Amsterdam Mini Cruise Example: Day 1 - Arrive in car park at 3pm Day 2 - In Amsterdam Day 3 - Leave car park at 11 am Parking cost £24 (44 hours) Hope that is helpful! Have a great trip :)
Absolutely. There's lots to do onboard the ferry and definitely a crossing we could see ourselves doing multiple times to explore more of Amsterdam. We have actually seen the trip offered at an even lower price on Groupon recently so might be worth checking out if you are interested in going!
Great! We hope you have a wonderful time if you do decide to go ☺️ Once you get around to planning, if you have any questions feel free to ask and we will do our best to answer them
Yes we had a wonderful time on this trip and thought it was well worth the money. It gave us a nice taster of Amsterdam as a city but we would definitely like to visit for longer next time! Thanks for watching
Thanks for review 💁🇩🇪
Nice video 😊🇦🇺

You made a nice video of Amsterdam well done 👍
Thank you! That's really kind of you to say 😊

You know you're in the Netherlands when you see bicycles everywhere you look ;-)

We had such a great time and the food was amazing!! Already can't wait to go back 😍
Be warned tho, that the center of Amsterdam is extremely touristy, and there are many tourist traps.

Looks great
We loved it! Definitely recommend doing it if you ever get the chance 🙂

Hi. Were you able to leave your luggages at tha cabin while you were in amsterdam? ☺️
Hey! Yes you can leave whatever you like in the cabin as you get the same one on the way back ☺️

It's a ferry
You can't go wrong with £50 , absolute bargain and what's more it looks really good

@@abbieandglenn Thank you so much. I will check it out as it's a trip we have had on the back burner for a while.
Great! We hope you have a wonderful time if you do decide to go ☺️ Once you get around to planning, if you have any questions feel free to ask and we will do our best to answer them
Did that £50 include the dinner buffet and breakfast? In other videos I saw that the buffet cost £30 and breakfast costs £10.
Wow!
Thanks for watching and we are so glad you liked it!
Glad you enjoyed Amsterdam, next time rest your stroopwaffel over a hot cup of coffee for a few moments to melt the caramel a little..
Ohh that sounds lovely! We will definitely remember that for next time thanks 🙂
That's called a Ferry
Hi Dan, thanks for commenting! This is marketed as a mini-cruise on the DFDS website and, therefore, this is the terminology we chose to use.
P&O do the same from hull for £50 too
Thank you for letting us know! Just had a look online and that's definitely a trip we would like to do at some point as we would love to see Rotterdam
Absolute bargain. Well worth a few nights and a day to visit Amsterdam.
