Creator's Key Takeaways

before this Cruise if I booked a for night itinery and been given seven ports I would have assumed that there had been some kind of mistake but there was no mistake

our crews cost less than £500 which is $700 for four nights for seven ports for drinks for gratuities excursions that's really good value

I think three or four of that was chocolate chip cookies

I felt very comfortable with this cruise and I fit in with all of the other passengers

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring coins for public toilets in Europe
✓Do not take the donkeys in Santorini
✓Be prepared for early mornings due to short port stays
✓Expect to have your passport held by the cruise line

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Ship feeling old or run down — The ship is old but has character; the age shows in design features but it was well maintained
Not enough time in ports — You can still get a good experience in a morning or afternoon; just be prepared for early starts
Language barriers — Speaking English only wasn't a problem; there were many English speakers on board
Table sharing — Table sharing happens but it's manageable; pre-pandemic protocols may differ from current ones

Before this cruise, if I had booked a 4 night cruise and saw that the itinerary said 7 ports, I'd have assumed it was a mistake. It wasn't! - * I was invited onboard by Celestyal as part of a press trip. They have no control over my content and all opinions are my own. * In this video I talk about what a Celestyal cruise is like, what is included, how I found the food, excursions and lots more.
