We got the same ones from Amazon. I wear a 9 shoe & got the XXL & Ray wears an 11 - 11 1/2 & he got the XXXXL. I think they will work fine.

Thank goodness for Amazon, I'm now on my 3rd pair of watershoes (returned the first 2 pairs as they were HUGE). I kept downsizing and keeping what arrived yesterday, smallest pair in stock and doable.

Glad you got some. I got the ladies 8 and it is a bit big but I wanted that design and black and they will work.

I just realized I have no idea where the ship will be in Amsterdam. Should I call Silversea or does someone have that information for us?

I’m pretty sure that there is only one cruise ship port in Amsterdam and as best I recall no more than 15-20 minute taxi ride from center of Amsterdam. Maybe someone has more specific info but I recall this being very close and not at all difficult to get to.

There are 2 cruise ship ports in Amsterdam. For large ships it's a 15 - 20 minute taxi ride. For small ships like Azamara and Silversea there is the cruise ship port behind the Centraal Station in the area where the riverboats dock. Easy walk into city center.

So Silver Cloud should be docked where the river boats dock?

I wanted to see for myself and what other information I might have missed in the docs. I don't have anything other than the luggage tags and the Travel Journal. What am I missing?
EDIT: I downloaded the "Cruise Ticket" from mysilversea.com and found where it says the ship will be at the "Passenger Terminal."

Packing now before we leave on Monday. We (Tom, me, Sue & Ray) are doing a 9 day land trip through out Ireland before we join the Cloud on May 23rd. Safe travels to all ! Hold down the ship (and make sure they have lots of Sambuca). We'll see many of you soon !

Looking forward to seeing everyone soon. We fly out this morning on Cathay to Amsterdam. We have our cruise ticket which was emailed to us a while ago but the luggage tags etc never arrived. We’ll have to pick those up from the dock.
Marcie - have a great time in Ireland. Be lovely to see you and Tom again, it’s been a while.

I’m so envious of all old friends getting ready for travel now. Please send those of us stuck at home some sea mail so we can enjoy the ride as well!

Quick 1 hour flight on Southwest got us to LAX last night. Golfing this morning then back over the hill to LAX for the 7PM Delta flight to Amsterdam. Our flight was originally to depart LAX around noon. So, since we have a golf day in Northern Ireland at the end of our trip, we thought it would be fun to start off the trip with round at a nice course in Tarzana.

Helen Don’t be too disappointed, but there’s no Shake Shack. There is a burger place called Built. Probably good. But don’t count on a shake.

Leslie, we also used Pedro from airport limo service. And as Kim said, the service was excellent. Our flight was early and he was there waiting for us having sent a text to tell us exactly where he was.
Weather here yesterday was fine, sunny but crisp - great for walking to explore the area around the hotel. Great to be here.

Jerry and I are in the Delta lounge at LAX. Plane is at the gate and boards in an hour. So not expecting any problems like Ed and Michele. (Delayed 4.5 hours)
All the times I have been to Amsterdam I have never been to Keukenhof. Glad it was worthwhile Kim. See you tomorrow!

We made it to Banks Mansion where we ran into Leslie and Brad and a little later Sheila and Ken. We had a very nice seafood dinner with Kim and Alice and Ed and Michele and the “gangs all here”. How fun is this to travel with so many friends?

We’ve been onboard for about an hour. Unpacked and ready to explore the ship —- first time on the Silver Cloud. I’ll see if anyone has started a Sea Mail thread.
