Been to zeebruge many times before. Nothing for me there. Already been to Bruges before too. 

We had already gone to Bruges when visiting family in the Netherlands & took a ship’s bus to the train to visit Ghent for the day which is a larger but still very walkable town similar to Bruges.

Bruges…it’s a more compact town with a shorter journey to get there. It shows 15 km to Bruges (Brugge) and 67 km to Ghent.

I think it would be very nice to offer everyone onboard free internet for 24 hours so that people can cancel tours and book things in Zeebrugge.

We got 24 hour complimentary internet on Sky Princess when our major Iceland ports were cancelled.

Gotta love The Chocolate Line in Bruges. 😋

Having lived in Belgium for over 3 years, the town of Bruges gets my highest recommendation followed by Ghent..  If you are interested in WWI don't miss Flanders and especially the town of Ypres.

Maintenance?

[Nicole&Pete]

 Can anyone on the ship now please tell me what times the shows are at night please? Also could you please let me know when the busiest times are in the dining rooms?

 

Thanks

[cimarron42]

Shows have been at 8pm and 10.15pm. 
No idea about dining rooms as we eat early (5.30 - 6.00pm) and there is plenty of tables available.

One would hope

This is frustrating.  We are on that June 17 cruise.  Will they switch back to Skagen (?) like they have done on the current cruise?

• Bluestone Group, a specialist construction company based in the UK, has won a contract from Princess Cruises to install Silverstream Air Lubrication System (ALS) on two cruise ships, Sky Princess and Enchanted Princess.

 

 

That explains why our Enchanted Princess cruise has two time adjustments in ports for July due to “engine maintenance”.
