Creator's Key Takeaways

we've never been together before we've been bruised before we've been to blankenburg before so we thought we'd try something a little bit different

the service was really fast well it had to be ready because of the time yeah otherwise the staff were never finishing their shifts and the food was really good

I do recommend if you don't need to use a lift yeah don't bother using it

we love Britannia she's a lovely shin and we are going to be posting some more content about and some of the stuff we got up to on board

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you want to avoid crowds in Ghent, visit in the morning as it gets busy later in the day.
When disembarking, avoid using the lifts if possible as they become extremely crowded and slow.
When choosing a gangway for disembarkation, check for the number of security checkpoints; more checkpoints mean faster movement even if the queue looks longer.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Self-disembarkation with heavy luggageIt can be a nightmare if you have a lot of large suitcases due to lift congestion; only recommend for those with lighter luggage.
Missing the ship due to transportBe cautious with trains in ports like Bruges as cancellations can happen; excursions are a safer bet.

YouTube Video Description

Welcome to the final vlog of our P&O Cruises Britannia series! 🚢 On our fifth day onboard, we ventured out to the beautiful city of Ghent and enjoyed exploring its historic charm. Back on Britannia, our last evening was filled with more dining challenges as we navigated freedom dining to secure a spot for dinner. We also share our disembarkation experience, including our first time opting for self disembarkation— was it a smooth process? We embarked on the Britannia on Friday, 7th April 2023, for an unforgettable Easter cruise, visiting the picturesque ports of Rotterdam and Zeebrugge, the gateway to Bruges. Britannia, the flagship of the P&O Cruises fleet, has been impressing guests since her launch on 14th March 2015, accommodating up to 3,647 passengers across 15 passenger decks.
