P&O Rotterdam Help

Looking at the minicruises from Hull I'm a bit confused about the arrangements in Rotterdam;

The Rotterdam mincruise states ;
08:00: Arrive Europoort
08:30: Coach departs terminal in Europoort
10:30: Arrive at Rotterdam city centre and explore the cosmopolitan city at your leisure


While if you go on to Amsterdam then the info states;
08:00: Arrive Rotterdam
08:30: Coach departs terminal in Rotterdam
10:30: Arrive at Amsterdam Central station and explore the vibrant city at your leisure
17:00: Coach departs Amsterdam Central station for Rotterdam
18:45: Arrive at Rotterdam

Surely the coach doesn't take 2 hours to get to Rotterdam city centre ?

Can anyone explain this please ?

    Europort ( Rotterdam ) is around 1.5 to 2 hours by coach to Amsterdam depending on traffic so those times are correct !

    Yes but rotterdam isn't 2 hours from Europoort... my guess is that they're allowing extra time for getting off the boat & passport control / customs. It's about 45 minutes to the centre of Rotterdam from Europoort in my experience, although early morning traffic might make it rather slower.

    It definitely took us 2 hours to get to Amsterdam, the traffic was awful but can't remember the Rotterdam timings - soz
    I haven't got one!
