14 Nights Summer Heavenly Adriatic and Idyllic , 14 Night Cruise

Excellent

The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating! The ship provides you with all the amenities a larger ship would but with the inclusivity of a small ship. One of the highlights of this voyage was the Magic Show presented in the Martini Lounge. Absolutely incredible! Funny for all ages! The magic was not only spectacular but the humor and inclusion of the guests set it over the top, it was the highlight of onboard entertainment by far! The cruise port selection was fantastic! They made it extremely easy to book excursions and the people working the excursion desk were so helpful in booking something that would suit our needs. I would not hesitate again to book with Celestyal. Embarkation and disembarkation were a breeze and shuffle services were on time and friendly. If you are looking a fantastic, affordable, memorable experience for a cruise ship, I would highly recommend looking into Celestyal!

Awesome cruise, mainly due to the great service.

The service and dining was incredible. Francis and Angel in particular repeatedly served us at Thallassa (I'm leaving this review a few weeks late so forgive any misspellings and other such mistakes). They were AMAZING servers, they were so kind and funny and they picked up on all our quirks quickly. For example, we love olive oil with our bread instead of butter, and after asking them for it one night they automatically started bringing us olive oil for the rest of the dinners we had! All around just awesome awesome faces to see every night :) I'm beating myself up right now because I can't remember the name of the woman who kindly cleaned up our cabin for us—I think it was Iryna? Something close to that, at least. She was wonderful as well, and I enjoyed chatting with her in the hallways. She, too, quickly picked up on quirks of my brother and mine. I didn't really make use of the entertainment stuff, mainly because I went in mid-May so the cruise was full of like 70 year olds and I (male, 20) wasn't really interested in hanging out in the pool, bar, etc. with them lol. Not really the cruise's fault. The gym was pretty solid, no complaints there except that they might wanna add another bench. The tours you could go on at various islands were for the most part really cool and worth it.

A lovely experience

This was our third cruise with the Celestyal company, but our first aboard the Journey. We were delighted that this trip was just as enjoyable as the previous two. The staff are simply wonderful. They all work so hard to ensure passengers have the very best experience. Our cabin (Junior Suite) was roomy, comfortable and quiet, with a spacious balcony, and very well-serviced. The evening entertainment was excellent, with varied programmes of an extremely high standard. We also particularly enjoyed the daily lectures by Frosa Katsis. The ship is very attractively decorated (though our one criticism was the poor design of the newly-refurbished theatre). There was plenty of space for everyone to relax both inside and outdoors. We ate in the self-service buffet and the waiter service Smoked Olive restaurant. The food and service were exceptional in both. The cruise itinerary was extremely interesting. We opted for guided excursions from five ports of call plus an independent visit to Dubrovnik. I cannot praise the whole experience highly enough.
