I took the Eurostar from Rotterdam to Paris on kings day. That was my first mistake. It was so packed in both the station and train. The good news is I had booked six months before so the price was good. Below are tips:
- book early as this train which originates in Amsterdam fills quickly and prices become astronomically priced nearer departure. That is if seats are available.
-try to travel from the first stop which was Amsterdam, as there will be almost no room for your luggage in Rotterdam . I was in premium class and economy passengers took most of our luggage space
- take as little luggage as possible as no one will help you
- get food before boarding as options are limited and very expensive on the train
- book premium plus as it’s less crowded and only 10/euros more per seat
- try not to go on a Dutch or French holiday
- get to your departure gate 20 minutes before as there will be info on where to stand for your train car
- print out your ticket as they scan the QR code
Overall I was disappointed in Eurostar. My car was dirty, no toilet paper in the toilets, limited and expensive food options. And it was late, with no place for my 1 small luggage
Hope this helps
