It’s been nearly 2 months since we jetted off on our honeymoon and I still can’t believe it’s been and gone. I can honestly say we had the best time, and I have the most amazing memories. If you missed all my insta-stories, we chose to go on a Mediterranean/Greek Island cruise, which we’d decided would be the most relaxed way to explore lots of different places, whilst also getting to chill out in luxury.
It was our second ever cruise and our first with Celebrity, but we have only positive things to say about both Celebrity and their (current) largest ship, the Reflection, which was beautiful. It had lovely spaces, bars and eating spots both in the open air and on the opulent lower decks. We also had a balcony cabin, and it was lovely to wake up to sea views each day!
As with all Celebrity cruises, food is included (excluding certain speciality restaurants), but we were also able to get a drinks package when booking too, so we enjoyed (and I mean really enjoyed!) plenty of “free” food and drink. One of our favourite things to do was visit the Mast Grill on the pool deck for a freshly grilled burger and a beer at lunchtime. And then at set sail time (usually 6-7pm) visit the Sunset Bar at very back of the ship, to enjoy a few drinks in the early evening sun whilst watching the day’s destination disappear into the distance. We also really loved dining in the main restaurant every evening. The food there was amazing and the service just unbeatable!
Exploring a new place every day was probably less relaxing than we’d anticipated – we certainly clocked up a lot of steps– but we made up for it with plenty of relaxing in the Jacuzzi and then the bars later on in the day.
Here are some of our amazing destinations:
Rome
Malta
Mykonos
Rhodes
Santorini
Athens
And now it’s back to married life!
