I Took a Last Minute Cruise on An Old Ship - Worth It?

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator documents an eleven night last minute cruise aboard the Celebrity Infinity, a smaller and older vessel built in 2001. After booking the trip just two weeks in advance for a budget price, the traveler explores various aspects of life on board, including the buffet, cabin accommodations, and entertainment options. The summary covers the experience of dining in the main dining room, the variety of shows in the theater, and the atmosphere of a ship operating at roughly 75 percent capacity. The creator notes that while the decor and technology reflect the ship's age, the facilities remain well maintained. Port visits include locations such as Thessaloniki, Limassol, and Naples. The video concludes by explaining that the low cost of the cruise was due to a last minute itinerary change that originally intended to sail to Israel and Egypt. Ultimately, the creator finds the experience to be a successful budget option that offered a relaxing alternative to crowded peak season sailing.

Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm currently on board a very cheap last minute cruise that I booked on one of the oldest and smallest cruise ships around
I love cruises that aren't full and they remind me of the ones that I took just after the pandemic when we started sailing again
The food was really really good there are of course restaurants on board that cost extra called specialty restaurants but I didn't go to any of those during this Cruise
I was very very happy with this price I enjoyed my cruise on the 2001 celebrity Infinity as much as the 2023 celebrity Edge
