This is one of the more memorable of my cruises. It was incredible. The
ship docks outside of but a comfortable walking distance from the center of
Amsterdam. We walked in at night to check out the open air variety show
that is the red light district.
Actually the worst thing was finding the ship. Our cab driver was totally
incmpetant (but to his credit he did turn off the meter when it was obvious
he had no idea where he was going.
To answer the question, yes they bring in cabs early and are quite
efficient in getting people out even early in the morning.
