When I saw a cruise advertised for $57 per night, I knew I had to give it a go. Use code EMMACRUISES for 15% off all my favourite bags! https://EmmaCruises.link/MiaTuiYT 😇🥳
In reality, it did end up costing a little bit more than that but after months of being cold in England, I saw that this cruise was sailing from Greece and I decided to go for it.
I knew that there was no guarantee of good weather at this time of year, I didn’t know how I’d like cruising on such a small and old ship and I had no idea about the real reason that this cruise was so cheap. I wouldn’t find that out until I got on board, I also didn’t know at this point that we would leave some guests behind in one of the ports but there's nothing I could have done about that anyway.
We flew out from London to board the ship and after a quick taxi ride to the port it was time to embark. Our luggage was taken from the car to be delivered to our cabins later and after what could have only been around 5 minutes in the terminal we were ready to board the ship. It was the easiest embarkation ever, helped by the fact we’d already checked in online and I even watched the safety videos on the plane to save time.
The ship that we were boarding was the Celebrity Infinity, she was built in 2001 and is just under half the size of the current biggest cruise ship in the world. I assumed the small size meant there would be less entertainment options, maybe less food but I was sure that she had lots of refits since her launch.
