Lovely vlog Andy beautiful photography always very interesting you do put a lot of work into vlogs thank-you for sharing your holidays fantastic take care hope you both have a lovely weekend 🙋♀️👋👍👍👍❄☃️❄
Fantastic review!!! Great job Andy & Kirstei!!! Booking this cruise ship on May 2024, first time in Celestyal (7 nights cruise from Piraeus Athens) previous night also in Athens....I love small ships, renovations seems to be good!!! I also love red wine, with a great meal, Andy great glass😂😂😂 looking forward next episode!!!
I love how you bring a calmness with yr Cruising. Most vloggers are always showing how fast, intense and crazy the cruise is... I like yr pace, reflective approach.
That ship used to be originally the ryndam from holland America. Was the pacific aria for a while here in Australia then sat unused for ages during and after the pandemic
Lovely update from you both, great jacket Andy and it looks like a posh one that Eddie from Bottom would wear on a cruise. 😁Seriously though I love the jacket and the cut off tie, my good lady wife knew that I'd like them both (where did you get them from?.) . 👍
Love Bottom! We'll be watching the Christmas one soon! The jacket is years old, from Zara. The tie was a cheap one I bought online because I wanted a brown tie.
Can you tell more about the restaurants on the ship? Which are complimentary, which are specialty? In the last restaurant where you were some parts of the menu are complimentary and some are extra cost? I understand the Taverna is the buffet? Where a reservation is needed? We plan to cruise on this ship next year. This is "new" ship and there is not much videos about it. You are one of the first.
Hi, it wasn't really straightforward when we boarded, but this is what we worked out on our cruise: Because we were in a 'suite', we had access to two speciality restaurants (The Smoked Olive and Pink Moon) for all our meals, but on the standard menu. There are some additional cost options on the standard menu, but we didn't try them. We always ate in The Smoked Olive and it appeared that if passengers were dining the speciality menu, they were always sat across the other side of the restaurant and not near us. No dining time was provided and no booking was necessary for any of our meals. We just turned up. Yes, the Taverna is the buffet and is excellent.
Good to hear you enjoyed the videos. There was quite a mix, mainly small groups of different European nations (mainly Eastern Europe),some North Americans and a lot of Greek. English was the primary/default language, although announcements were in several.
Thanks for the reply !@@andyandkirstie Weve gone ahead and booked end of March into April 24. 2 weeks around islands, Turkey , and Kotor . Similar cabin to yours . Cant wait !
You’ve got to laugh at Kirstie “snacks” She loves her grub lol. Those MDR upgrade prices are incredibly pricey. Cruise lines all going along this route now.
My husband and I will be taking the Celesyal Journey for a cruise and your vlogs have been so helpful! Great information on areas, food, and the ship.
Good to hear you found the videos helpful 👍 Have a great time!
Lovely video, looked a fabulous day
Just want to say how much I enjoy your content, really look forward to it.

Glad you liked it! We're exactly same as we'd be if we weren't filming, unlike most youtubers.

Yes, you could definitely feel the Holland America heritage on board.
Being you was under the weather, you did a fantastic job there, Andy.
Another very enjoyable watch mate.
Thanks 👍 I did feel pretty ill by the end of the cruise. I'm still on meds now.

@@andyandkirstie Thanks for that answer, so you didnt have to pay extra for the standard menu in those restaurants?
Dont you just love being pulled out onto the dance floor when you haven't done that dance before.
😂 💃
Hi guys , enjoyed your reviews , just watched them all . How did you find the mix of passengers , nationality -wise?
Good to hear you enjoyed the videos. There was quite a mix, mainly small groups of different European nations (mainly Eastern Europe),some North Americans and a lot of Greek. English was the primary/default language, although announcements were in several.
Thanks for the reply !@@andyandkirstie Weve gone ahead and booked end of March into April 24. 2 weeks around islands, Turkey , and Kotor . Similar cabin to yours . Cant wait !
@@andysee1910 Awesome, have a great time!

Yeah, too pricey for us. Especially as the standard menu was so good.
I'm curious what that red wine was. Was it Greek wine.
So glad the Greek line had lots of Greek food/drink options.
Wish we'd asked what the wine was, but we didn't 😒 Lots of Greek food though. They must have had literally buckets of Greek yoghurt on board!
👍
Lep pozdrav iz Slovenije
Wine tasting yes, dancing absolutely not! 😂
Kirstie is always up for a bit of audience participation, me not so much!
