Creator's Key Takeaways

We are really looking forward to today. The Bronx port we've never been to.

We were told yesterday that dolphins do frequent these waters.

The great thing about cruising with Celestial is you get so much time in port.

We have to give it a 10 out of 10. And we would thoroughly thoroughly recommend that you give Grill Seekers a try.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Buy bus tickets from the main bus station area outside the port for cheaper prices and quicker boarding.
Consider walking the walls of Dubrovnik for spectacular views, but be aware of accessibility challenges and high costs.

YouTube Video Description

On day 3 of our Celestyal Journey Heavenly Greece, Croatia and Italy Cruise we docked in the beautiful port of Dubrovnik, Croatia. This was our first time visiting this destination and we were keen to get off the ship and start independently exploring. We were scheduled to dock late morning so made the most of time by having breakfast in the Smoked Olive followed by taking some time to explore some hidden areas of the ship, the views were amazing! As soon as we docked, we headed off to explore instead of getting a taxi we decided to take a public bus into the old town of Dubrovnik, and it was so easy to do and very affordable. We explored the old town making way towards the port and then around the inside of the walls. As it was our first time in Dubrovnik, we decided to Walk the Walls and even though slightly more expensive than we first thought it was an incredible experience. We made our way back to Celestyal Journey and took some time relaxing and enjoying a spa treatment. In the evening, we dined in Grill Seekers, a specialty restaurant onboard, and words cannot explain how much we enjoyed it! We enjoyed a show in the main theatre and had one last drink in Café Nation before bed! JUNIOR BALCONY SUITE 9102 on CELESTYAL JOURNEY - https://youtu.be/T0TFxSHx-AM Celestyal Journey Full Ship Tour!
