It took 50 minutes.
Where as today’s was turned around in 28 minutes, Yesterday was 38 minutes, I’m not sure where you’re getting your information, I’m presuming flight radar or the airport website, Both of these show landing and take off times and not block times which are used to calculate turnaround time. They also don’t show the doors closed times so you’d be unable to tell if the aircraft was sat on stand closed up awaiting a slot time which going into busy airports like Amsterdam are frequent.

Don’t get me wrong I’m far from being an apologist for NCL, there’s a lot that needs to be improved on however you need to make sure you have the accurate data and background information before you start criticising.
