FIRST CRUISE WITH CELEBRITY - Celebrity Infinity Best of Greece Cruise Day 1 Vlog

I board the Celebrity Infinity for my first ever cruise with Celebrity Cruises. Will my first impressions sink or swim?
I'm excited to be boarding my first ever Celebrity cruise for my 21st cruise! I've heard so many good things about the service and food on offer, and can't wait to experience this and more for myself. Watch as I fly from London Heathrow, start exploring the ship, and get settled in my cabin for my ten night cruise around Greece, starting in Piraeus!

    I took a 10 day Med cruise on Infinity last year. I loved the ship and the trip. Ship is older and smaller than many others but she was wonderful. We had a aft balcony. I highly recommend a aft balcony. It was huge.

    Interesting to see this vlog as we are doing the exact same cruise with Infinity in March! Would love to know if it's a decent hairdryer and if you have to keep holding the switch to work, if so I will bring my own. Looking forward to the next post.

    It's a great itinerary of some nice ports that Med Cruises normally miss. The ship was very nice too, in my opinion, especially given the age! Unfortunately I never used the hairdryer so I can't help you there. Never known one where you have to hold it though, is that an overheating measure, maybe?

    Hope you had a great cruise. I enjoyed sailing on Celebrity Silhouette last summer. Very premium compared to any ship I’ve sailed on before. Booked for Apex at the end of the summer for a 4 nighter, couldn’t afford a longer one!

    Doing this same cruise next year, hope you enjoyed your first Celebrity cruise. We were on Iona last week and much prefer Celebrity to P&O due to food quality, service, and ports. Infinity is one of the ships that hasn't had a refit but is still good.

    Awesome, it was a nice little itinerary! I'd agree the standards on Celebrity are higher but this is mostly reflected in the prices so pros and cons to each? An older ship but they've looked after it well and I'd happily sail again.

    It's definitely a more premium feel, but you're usually paying extra for that. A night in Athens would have been better, but thankfully, going forward two hours meant it didn't affect me too much

    I don't think so. Only shuttles were arranged from the cruise line between port and airport or city centre. I'd imagine you'd need a taxi. Quite a few used taxis.
