Thanks for the advice. I am normally tempted to take a chance with weather but doing my homework because we would be travelling a long way to board 😎

This sounds great and we would love to cruise this area, Just a quick question from downunder, aren’t there hurricanes possible at this time of year?

We used shared transfer in small van with International Friends which was excellent

We like the cabins up near reception such as 4051 as per LHT28’s suggestion

A lot of the cruisers booking with TAs are from USA, where because of volume TAs can offer greater value.

We have stayed at Apex Waterloo Place a couple of times and really enjoyed hotel and location

But the HOHO bus does allow you to get to a variety of places you may want to visit rather than take trams. And yes bus stop right across from cruise terminal

The Bruges shuttle doesn’t take you to town centre. All buses, shuttles, etc take you to a massive car park where there is a reasonable walk to Bruges

We are booked there next April on recommendation of a UK friend who stays there when in London and highly recommends

Above theatre also noisy during rehearsals if you happen to be in your cabin

We got on a tuk tuk just outside cruise terminal and got an amazing tour of local places

Our fav too

It will be interesting to see what options, if any, are available to countries like Australia where airfares to most cruise locations are high.

Hotel staff offered to help us take bags to cruise terminal but we were ok even with my wife slight mobility issue. Our hotel wifi still worked on ship

Yes very easy
