This Celestyal Journey review and walkthrough cruise ship tour covers every deck, restaurant, bar, suite, food, pool, entertainment and facility. Shot on the Heavenly Greece, Italy & Croatia itinerary. Find out what a Mediterranean cruise is like. This cruise ship walkthrough tour is filmed in POV 4K and follows the real flow of moving through the ship with kids, showing how the vessel works during a typical sailing in the Mediterranean. There's also Celeystal Cruises Greek Islands routes, while Celestyal Journey also heads to the Persian Gulf. The video begins with embarkation day in Athens before, with tips on how to get from Piraeus train station, checking in and stepping onto Celestyal Journey, a Mediterranean cruise ship. From here, the Celestyal Journey review and tour moves deck by deck, starting with Deck 3 and Deck 4, where the ship deck plan, décor and early public spaces set the tone for the layout. The walkthrough continues to Deck 6 and Deck 7, showing the walking track, staff areas and the first major dining venue - Thalassa Restaurant - the Symposium and the Grapevine Wine Bar. As the tour progresses, the video highlights the Atrium, Shore Tours desk, talks about the lack of a Celestyal App, daily activities and the Wi-Fi internet options on board. The Business Center, Photo Shop and Amphitheatre are shown in detail, along with the entertainment program that runs throughout the cruise. Deck 8 includes the shops, Café Nation, a breakdown of Celestyal Pay and alcohol drink packages, the drinks menu, the Martini Bar, the Blue Bar and the casino. We also see the Daily Program activities in action. My Celestyal Journey ship review then moves into the specialty dining program, including the Grill Seekers Restaurant, Pink Moon Restaurant and The Smoked Olive Restaurant. Each venue is shown with real examples of the food, seating and atmosphere. Deck 10 of the Celeystal Journey cruise ship walkthrough features the Galazio Pool, The Compass and the Bridge, followed by Deck 11 with the Sozo Health Spa, gym fitness center, bow view, Thermale Suite, sauna, main pool, Greek Deli, hot tubs, Fig & Honey and The Taverna. The buffet breakfast, lunch buffet and dinner buffet are shown with food stations and seating areas. Deck 12 includes the sports courts, Celestyal kids club and Ray’s Suites relaxing area, before the tour moves into the Horizons Disco Lounge. The video then covers the Celestyal Journey Junior Dream Suite and Grand Suite, with full room walkthroughs, storage, layout, bathrooms and balcony views. So you'll also get a Celestyal Journey suite review to help you select the best cabin for you. It's all part of my Celestyal Journey cruise ship tour, a Greek Islands cruise ship. Key to any Celestyal Cruises review, my verdict includes some commentary on the way excursions are handled on the Heavenly Greece, Italy and Croatia itinerary. This included ports such as Athens, Kotor, Split, Venice and Olympia - hence why it's the Greece Italy Croatia cruise. The closing commentary reflects on how the ship functions during a family European cruise.
