September 27, 2013 cruise

My wife and I are taking the September 27, 2013 cruise Rhine/Moselle-South from Amsterdam to Basel. We are arriving September 26 in Amsterdam. I am interested in things we might do the day before the cruise in Amsterdam that will not be part of the cruise package. I am also interested in getting to know others that are taking this trip. We are from Knoxville, TN and this is our second trip and first cruise with Tauck.
