Celestyal Journey 2024 - Ship Tour

[@aecs422]

Really enjoyed your Celestyal Journey. We will be boarding her May 2025 for 14n "Heavenly Adriatic and Idyllic" cruise. I have booked several of the excursions you went on. Great to see previews of what is to come.

You will have a fantastic time!

Thank you for this wonderful video. We are going to cruise the Celestyal Journey in May 2025 visiting some of the Greek isles. We look forward to it. I'm going to share this video with my family so they can see what the ship looks like. Great job!

[@TheKennedysTravelChannel]

I'm sure you will have a fantastic time. We are looking to book another cruise on her.

Me too 17th May 2025..cant wait!

[@Edgetravelguy]

Very good looking ship-

[@TheKennedysTravelChannel]

She is an older ship, but I think that they did a really good job of the refit.

Adorei conhecer. Bateu uma saudades ❤

[@bobk7428]

Did you go through the buffet area? If you did, I missed it.

[@kerrydolman8017]

P.S. This cruise is mainly to help celebrate an extra special birthday so during our 4 day trip I'd like to arrange something extra special for her - any ideas - 😊

[@TheKennedysTravelChannel]

Celestyal have a special occasiosn brochure of their website which list things that they can provide. You could also book a speciality restaurant such as Smoked Olive, Pink Moon or Grill Seekers (just have a word with the Maitre D' beforhand and they will dress up the table for you). Alternatively, I don't know what cabin you are in, but have you thought about a surprise cabin upgrade? Depending on your itinierary you could go for an excurion and/or have a nice meal ashore. I hope that some of these suggestions help.

I'm now getting extremely excited to begin my second cruise with this lovely company. This time on September 16th with my sister, Ann who will be arriving all the way from Australia the day before (her first trip with this company) - ❤

Fantastic video! I have 1 question. it is going to be our first ever cruise and i do not understand how bars and lounges work. Do i need to buy a drink all the time if i want to spend some time in a lounge or in a bar area or i can just come and seat there without a drink?

[@TheKennedysTravelChannel]

Hi and thanks for the lovely comment. You are free to sit in any of the bars at any time. You can enjoy a drink if you wish, or just enjoy the view or have a chat with your fellow passengers or maybe bring along a book to read.

Hi,did u see violin player on board on this ship😊

[@TheKennedysTravelChannel]

Yes, I saw her one evening as I was walking around the ship.

[@Kotenok_lime11]

Is the ship good and won't the children be bored?

[@TheKennedysTravelChannel]

I think the ship is great. It doesn't have all the extras that the huge ships have, but most of the feedback that I have seen from families is positive.

[@СветланаЕрыгина-т8т]

Is there any kids area on the ship like playing room or something?

[@TheKennedysTravelChannel]

We did find a kids area but it wasn't ready. We were the first cruise of the year, so I don't know whether they have finished it. It was also almost entirely adults on board.

Здравствуйте! Вы были на этом лайнере. Спасибо

[@АзаматАзимов-р8й]

Стоит на нем путешествовать?

[@TheKennedysTravelChannel]

@@АзаматАзимов-р8й Yes. She is one of my favourite ships. She doesn't have all the water slides and go kart tracks, but the food and the crew are fantastic and the atmosphere on board is amazing.

[@crispybat1]

Hi! May I ask, what is the ceiling height on the ship?

[@TheKennedysTravelChannel]

Hi, it depends which deck. The decks with the restaurants etc have higher ceilings, but I would guess somewhere round 7' 6" in the cabins. I am 6' and there was plenty of head room.

The "Celestyal Journey", the former Dutch RYNDAM (Holland America Line) looks so elegant in the classic colour scheme, which distinguishes her from the nowadays screaming colour schedules like Aida, Norwegian Cruise Lines, MSC (Euribia) and many, many more. Why all this nonsense painted on the hulls? A few cruiseships emerged from becoming a fun-boat. The sisters of the RYNDAM are good examples. The STATENDAM became the VASCO DA GAMA (Nicko Cruises) and the MAASDAM became the French RENAISSANCE . But......now Celestyal decided to repaint the Celestyal JOURNEY in a fun-scheme, just like the recently introduced Celestyal DISCOVERY - what a sad news. The more nonsense on the hull , the less original. Keep this vessel in the dignified classical colour scheme. Apart from the mentioned vessels also the other sisters BOREALIS and BOLETTE (Fred Olsen) and VOLENDAM and ZAANDAM are normally painted. Mark my words, these classical mid sized less new vessels become more popular every month, as the mega vessels dominate the cruise market. They are the "funboats" . So owners of Celestyal, keep the "JOURNEY" as she is now. She did a fine job by making a replace cruise for the AMERA to the South Atlantic and beyong the Cape/ East Africa - Indian Ocean. As styleful as in her Dutch days. Keep her as she was introduced by Celestyal. That was a wise choice. Thank you!

[@TheKennedysTravelChannel]

Is this a bot, or AI? I don't understand.

[@koosriedijk3872]

@@TheKennedysTravelChannel This is just the opinion of several shiplovers, seamen and maritime people, who just mention that within a short time there will only be "funboats" and hardly classical cruiseships left. Some of us recently cruised on the Vasco da Gama and others on the Renaissance, Volendam , Zaandam, Borealis & Bolette and they all have style and dignity and not the livery of funboats with eyes, noses, waves and other useless paintings. And since we discovered that the Celestyal Discovery was recently introduced with hull-paintings and it was announced that the Celestyal Journey would follow in the spring, we simply said : There are also (future) passengers who don't like all these "Amusement Parks at sea" ! - We hope that mr Chris Theophilides (CEO Celestyal) will rethink this decision.
