My family is booked for the southbound Castles on the Rhine cruise next summer, with extra days planned on both ends (Amsterdam and Zurich). I’ve been told that Tauck will provide free transfers between the airport and hotel on each end, but since we’re not staying in Tauck selected hotels in those cities we have to arrange our own transportation between the hotels and ship at the start/end of the cruise.
Assuming that understanding is correct, does anyone know whether, if we are able to get ourselves from our hotel to the Tauck select hotel, we could then take advantage of the free transfer to the ship on the departure date, and do similarly on the cruise end date?
If not are we best off just taxiing it between the ship and the hotel on both ends?
