  1. There may be some Brugge only places, but of the traditional Belgian chocolatiers that have a presence in Brugge, my choice would pretty much be Mary Chocolatier. In Brugge at Katelijnestraat 21, 8000 Brugge, Belgium. It's one you're not likely to find outside of Belgium (never have; may not have looked hard enough). Their chocolate is pretty amazing. When I'd travel to Brussels for business, I'd buy Leonidas for the office; I bought Mary to bring home...
  2. No one has started a tipping debate for a few days. There has to be something...
  3. And since jeans are allowed, which was the question in this post, there would be nothing for staff to enforce.
  4. Ah. I think JB's got you. We were taking you too literally! People separated by a common language! šŸ˜
  5. I don't think we understand your question. Yes, you connect to the service through your device's WiFi. There are wires on the ship connecting the WiFi access points to the ship's routers. The ship connects through its routers to Starlink, the low earth orbit satellite network. Exactly like your ISP at home, other than using Starlink instead of Comcast, Fios, or some other ISP. But there is no wired (ethernet) connection option from your device to the routers. Are you concerned about internet security on the front end (wireless) connection?
  6. Where are you staying? This is (presumably) well rested at the end of your cruise, not exhausted after a day long flight? Agree with dropping your bags and exploring. Easy to do.
  7. Not us. It was actually Royal, but they clearly weren't on a ship's excursion. We were on the second day of an overnight stay in Reykjavik. We were probably 30-45 minutes late departing already when a car came rushing up and what was clearly a 12 or so year old boy came running up to the still down gangway (everything else was in already). Apparently the family had sent him ahead to try to stop the ship from leaving them. Didn't work. The rest of the group drove up in a taxi 15 minutes or so later as we left the pier. This was after we'd watched a couple of other groups come driving into the parking lot and running with bags of shopping to the ship. They did make it, barely. Next stop was back in the UK two days later...
  8. That'll do the "I turn the phone off and lock it in the safe" crowd a lot of good...
  9. Again, all it says is ā€œjeanā€. Iā€™m sure the assumption is clean, but ripped and torn jeans are a version of fashion. ā€œDesigner jeansā€ is used for chic night, and not defined. A lot of high dollar designer jeans are ripped or torn. Sorry. Bored tonight and couldnā€™t resistā€¦
  10. Whereā€™s the fun in that? šŸ˜€
  11. I just checked. I'm past final payment on an AI Retreat booking. I have an option to buy a premium drink package (actually the classic as well). Even thought I have one. I'm with PTC DAWG. Give it time. You may just have to call. This is one of Celebrity's worst IT glitches, and really no excuse.
  12. Boarding times don't apply to the Retreat. Unless something's radically different in Sydney, you can show up pretty much as soon as the previous guests clear, and they'll board you as soon as the ship is cleared for boarding, in most places that's been around 11:00, so you're good to show up at 10:30.
