I Did Not Expect This on a 30 Year Old Cruise Ship! Celestyal Journey to the Greek Isles!

[@MHFamilyAdventures]

Would you sail on a 30 year old ship to visit some of the most picturesque cruise ports in the world?

[@CynthiaLipsey]

Yes.

[@ShannaTheSag]

Most definitely without hesitation My question is why wouldn't anybody want to old or new cruising is awesome😊

[@MyCruisingFamily]

I think I would.

[@PsilentKnight19]

Heck yes!

[@corlissknowles8974]

Yes, if the ship was recently renovated like this one.

[@DiamondPreston1234]

I like the look of this older ship. Seems less crowded which I would prefer as an introvert and the food looks higher quality over quantity.

[@MHFamilyAdventures]

I agree with you completely!!! It was definitely not as crowded and the food was better than most other cruise lines I’ve sailed on. Thanks for watching!

[@aecs422]

Yes, we did book May 2025 14 N cruise on Journey. Excited!

[@MHFamilyAdventures]

@@aecs422 have an amazing time!!!

[@kirstybartlett265]

We had this ship in Australia when it was Pacific Aria. Cute ship and I agree, the decor and furnishings are great!!

[@MyCruisingFamily]

Happy to hear the ship smells good even as an older ship... I love a fresh-smelling ship too!

[@SeeItWithC]

They did well with this old ship. I'm really digging the lounge spaces and variety of seating.

[@MHFamilyAdventures]

Yes it was alot nicer than I was expecting honestly! Looking forward to sailing on her again!

[@ShannaTheSag]

I was so excited for this vlog series and you did not disappoint girlfriend!!! Also the ship is absolutely gorgeous kinda giving MSC vibes with all of the elegant and fancy decor... I'm loving it❤

[@MHFamilyAdventures]

Thank you! Yes I can definitely see a bit of MSC. This was original a Holland America ship so I’m curious to see how it compares to Holland America as well.

[@ShannaTheSag]

@@MHFamilyAdventures oh wow I didn't even realize that how interesting

[@marshacallahan3348]

A very informative vlog. I could cruise on this ship with no problems. I don't like the really large ones.

[@corlissknowles8974]

I enjoyed this vlog. Thank you for sharing so much detail. I love the smaller ships and this one had so many beautiful public spaces and lounges. I especially loved the green lounge. The one with the high back chairs by the windows was very cool too. And your dinner…my kinda meal experience. From the dining room to the presentation to the view. It was amazing. I can’t wait for more. By the way, do you have any demographics from your sailing? Where was the population from?

[@MyCruisingFamily]

So excited to see this! Watching now...

[@latonyawright3312]

Mom & I are watching, Luv this video & the Cruiseship looks comfy and relaxing....wow would love to travel to Greece!

[@MHFamilyAdventures]

@@latonyawright3312 thanks for watching!!! It’s a nice ship to be as old as it is.

[@mstewart8447]

I love this vlog so informative and entertaining, I am looking forward to this group cruise next year😊

[@MHFamilyAdventures]

Us too! Looking forward to meeting you!

[@jonathanpage7710]

The ship looks very elegant indeed. Would've loved to join you guys next year but as a British guy i think my preference is for the Carribbean. Enjoying the vlogs though.

[@ChandraSaputra-i9c]

Is this This ship still in operation or will set sail again next year?

[@MissBriBrizzle]

Hey everyone, Happy Friday!

[@MHFamilyAdventures]

@@MissBriBrizzle happy Friday!

[@joandobrijevic7572]

Great overview! I am sailing this itinerary next month with a group and looking forward to trying a smaller ship (loyal Princess cruiser). Everything looks amazing (and not crowded!). Do you recall if the pools are fresh or salt water? Excited to see your videos on the ports!

[@theblessedtraveler7477]

Thank you for sharing.

[@apinkj]

I really enjoy your videos!

[@MHFamilyAdventures]

@@apinkj thank you. We appreciate you watching!

[@kiddlesk]

Hi from the UK. Sailed on many cruises but never Celestyal. Looking at booking for the Persian Gulf next March and your video has given me great confidence in what to expect. I know it's not going to be like Azamara (have you done your one yet?) but it looks more upmarket than I was expecting. Thanks

[@onthegowithyolo]

Very informative! ❤

[@retiredtimetocruise]

I recognized that ship as soon as I saw the thumbnail….. DAMN SHIP..😂..HAL owned the cruising back then. We love the ability to hop-on-hop-off the ships and combine land trips with a cruise. We are about to start a 71 day DIY World Cruise, 3 ships, 3 lines and over 30 ports….Retired Time to Cruise….Check us out. We are subscribed and hopefully we can get a live in before we leave.

[@MHFamilyAdventures]

Oh nice!! 71 days. Hope you two have an amazing time. I just subbed to your channel. It’s our goal to one day retire and just cruise hop!

[@Angiepooh215Channel]

[@marydeagle8692]

Depends on the ports.

[@MHFamilyAdventures]

I understand that!

[@derrickadrake7458]

Nooo…I can’t 😂. I’d have to have a serious why to sail on a 30 year old ship!

[@MHFamilyAdventures]

@@derrickadrake7458 but the itinerary is one of the best! 😂. The ship wasn’t bad at all. You’ll see in the vlogs

[@Satinjazzlady1]

I can and I am 🤗

[@MHFamilyAdventures]

@@Satinjazzlady1 can’t wait to meet you!

[@hollygibson1801]

Im surprised you are allowed to wear just a beach coverup into the buffet at lunch

[@MHFamilyAdventures]

Who had on a beach coverup? I know I didn’t. I don’t think they were enforcing a dress code on my sailing. But I’m not sure.

[@loriD19]

Was the ship inconveniently outdated?

[@MHFamilyAdventures]

The ship is 30 years old

[@michellepj8809]

Maybe…

[@TravelYesOuiSi]

The entertainment hasn't been updated in 30 years either I see

[@MHFamilyAdventures]

The entertainment was actually better than seen in the video. I honestly didn’t capture it very well cause I was so tired at that point. I’d say the entertainment was slightly better than Carnival’s shows.

[@TravelYesOuiSi]

Cool because that snippet w ABBA reminded me of Mariner OTS. I compared their production show to the talent section of the Miss Mississippi Pageant Lol

[@MHFamilyAdventures]

@@TravelYesOuiSi 😂😂😂

Is Celestyal LGBTQ friendly?
