Creator's Key Takeaways

We are very impressed and everything looks quite pristine and spotlessly clean. You wouldn't really realize that the ship was as old as it is.

We think it is definitely worth the money as we've eaten in many specialty restaurants on many cruise lines and this was one of the best specialties that we've probably eaten in.

We were really impressed actually that Fred Olsen did put on complimentary shuttle buses to get us there. That was a really nice touch.

Creator's Tips & Advice

When visiting Zeebrugge, be prepared to walk through the terminal building to reach the shuttle bus for Bruges.

YouTube Video Description

Its time for part 2 of our Fred. Olsen Balmoral cruise 🚢 In this video we take you through days 2 and 3 of our cruise onboard Fred. Olsen's Balmoral. We’re docked overnight in Bruges, Belgium, and for our first day we decided to stay onboard and explore the ship. We also experienced something completely new for us… snow on a cruise ship! ❄️ That evening, we experienced the speciality restaurant Colours & Tastes, before heading into Bruges the next day using the free shuttle provided by the cruise line, where we spent time exploring this beautiful city. Back onboard it was Formal Night, with a special Valentine’s menu in the Main Dining Room, followed by a very lively evening dancing in the Neptune Lounge. We were told before the cruise we’d probably be in bed early every night, but that definitely didn’t happen 😅 👉 Don’t forget to like and subscribe to follow the rest of the series. #fredolsen #balmoral #cruise Find us on social media - Instagram - www.instragram.com/sistersontheseas Facebook - www.facebook.com/sistersontheseas Our Blog - www.sistersontheseas.com
