Love it 😂

The train from Blankenberg to Bruges is a good, cheap, reliable option - we've done this twice before with young kids. There is quite a walk from Bruges station to the centre, but it's actually a really nice walk and easy to find your way to the main attractions. I'd also consider taking a shuttle taxi directly from outside the port to Bruges - we were forced into this option on a Princess cruise (with rather expensive shuttles to Blankenberg!) that arrived very late into Zeebrugge - but we'd definitely do it again as it was much quicker and more convenient, straight to the centre of Bruges. We shared a shuttle taxi for 8, of course we had to agree on a return time with other passengers but it was no bother - I think the cost was only 60 EUR each way total, so our share for 4 of us was 60 EUR return + tip.

We got the same email too. We used Prenetics for a summer cruise with Princess and it was really straightforward.

I'm expecting a free-for-all once the top 2 tiers have had the chance to book their seats... now I'm checking at least twice a day for my turn 🙂

Thanks for the info, this is good news! How long is it normally between Baltic Tier and above and everyone else?

For the last Caribbean season it was £35 per seat per flight or £75 per seat per flight for emergency exit seats. Expect similar this year. https://www.pocruises.com/frequently-asked-questions.flights.FAQ248.summary

That's good news - thanks for the update!

I'm interested to know what package is needed/best to be able to at least make voice calls via WhatsApp or FaceTime?

Same for us and we fly on 5 November. Just keep checking regularly, they'll become available eventually I'm sure.
