Athens to Celestyal Journey - dj

Lisa and I are both behind on posting updates, so… I’m skipping ahead. Ha. We left our apartment in Athens and rode in style in our own transport to Piraeus port to meet our cruise. The driver had a heckuva time finding the correct location to let us off, but once there, we moved pretty seamlessly through check in and boarding. Our ship and cabins are beautiful and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Our concierge is Jestter and his backup is Sultan. They showed us around our cabin and made us feel comfortable. From there, we went straight to The Smoked Olive for lunch. It was a nice, leisurely meal. Mike had Shark Steak, which was surprisingly good. Dinner was back at the Smoke Olive for some us.
