Part 5: Celebrity Infinity Cruise in Greece & Turkey (Vlog) including Ports Limmasol and Rhodes!
Hello and welcome to day six out of 10 of our celebrity Infinity Cruise in Greece and Turkey today we are in liol Cyprus and of course as always let me know if I pronounce a name of a port incorrectly so there is absolutely nothing to do directly off the port in
Liol in fact I do not believe you’re even allowed to just walk out of the port area here so Celebrity Cruise lines generously offers a free shuttle bus to I guess what would be considered the downtown you have to walk through these buildings to get to the shuttle bus and
I thought this was kind of neat architecture and then once you’re on the bus it’s about a 20 minute ride to where you’re going and the buses leave both from the port and then headed back to the port all day continuously as they fill up and you can see it’s just a very
Industrial Area here nothing to do which is why the shuttle buses were offered the first thing we saw as we exited the bus was that Museum and then we kept walking and walking and walking and while the area was very clean and pretty there really was not that much to
Do there weren’t many shops open and there were a few restaurants but they weren’t authentic if you’ve ever been to Marina del re in California it very much reminded me of that area although not even as much to do as there we parked ourselves at an Italian coffee shop for
About an hour and then headed back to the shuttle bus and the ship hey baby what you think of Cyprus I thought it sucked there was nothing to do and the moral of the story is if you go to lemisol Cyprus purchase an Excursion we honestly thought perhaps we had missed
Something so we spoke with a few other Cruisers and they all agreed liol via the shuttle bus was a bust but at least we had an excuse to show off our matching shirts the one good thing about leaving a port early is that when you come back the ship is always nice and
Empty we spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying the serenity until it was dinner Time Gary got the salmon which is one of the regular menu items let’s see yes baby yes let’s see him take a bite it’s good day seven brought another C day we both tried to sleep in we had a super Noisy Neighbor that unfortunately we had to complain about multiple times we’ll
Talk about that in a future video so because of this neighbor we always got a late start to our day anyway and so the only thing open to us was the buffet and aren’t those floor Windows super weird Breakfast of Champions and remember half empty ship means Prime
Hot tub space available on a CA day right smack in the middle of a SE day the benefits of cruising on a smaller older ship off seon is this even a possibility on icon of the Seas I tell you you guys this is the life
We chilled in the hot tub for over an hour enjoyed watching all the poolside activities just super Pleasant SE day after this I went to go work out while Gary enjoyed some live music near Cafe Elio and I think I already said this in an earlier video but I’m going to say this again even though the ship was only sailing at half capacity we felt like the cruise director and entertainment staff was treating it like a full ship so much live music and so many
Activities to enjoy throughout the day three big mainstage shows a big magic show a comedian a West End singer so great great job Celebrity Cruise Lions and last V SE Day means second Chic night or for me it will forever be formal night which as you guys know means a fullon runway show if this skirt looks familiar to you it’s because I own the same exact one in black and wore it
On my celebrity Summit cruise and please let’s not ignore Gary who’s looking very handsome in his fancy Hawaiian shirt second Chic night also means Lobster night here is the full menu if you want to pause at any part and don’t even ask it is still extra now to get more than one lobster
Tail a lot extra we have both already vented about the Injustice of the cost of multiple Lobster taals before and although we don’t get a drink package I usually order a glass of wine or champagne so that is the suier I don’t remember her name but what
I do remember is the name of our amazing serving team we had Aditi and bju ra we had them the first evening we ate dinner there love them both so much kept requesting them and kept getting them celebrity corporate if you’re listening give these guys a raise they’re amazing this is the salmon
Roulette hey baby I have a question for you yeah what happens if you ask for another one of these uh these little two biters this two biter the two biter it’s a 20 20 more dollars for two bites this is me making my sad face because my two bites of lobster is gone
Damn it I’m still hungry I guess I’ll just have to get a bigger dessert this is the baked Alaska enjoying some live music in the rendevu lounge before we head to the theater to enjoy the mainstage show for the Evening And Gary just thinks it’s hysterical when I am in heels to film me struggling walking downstairs I can’t help it you guys I’m not used to It this evening’s production was a rock them themed review Style Show once again you had actual sets costumes and great dancing and [Applause] Singing and my favorite aerialist couple became an Acro couple so you all know I loved that naturally as we walk back to The State Room afterwards Gary had to get one last video of me struggling on the stairs haha so funny Gary let’s move on to day eight and Roads
Grease I’m going to skip any sort of buildup or mystery and tell you right now roads was our favorite port on this Cruise now with that statement comes a disclaimer I am not sure if this would have been our favorite stop if we had come in the
Busy season it may have been too crowded and a little too much for us but let’s start with directly off the ship you could already see ruins right there loads of photo opportunities when you exited the port there was a long pathway along the water that you could
Walk and then the cute little downtown SL City Center if you can call this a city was right there and it was all like this all made from old stone tons of little shops eies museums and it was fairly easy easy to get around we spoke to a shop owner she
Said the only reason she opened her store today was for our ship we were the only tourists in town I would imagine in the summer roads might be a little too crowded for us a little squishy but this day was just absolutely perfect Gary and I did a b yo E I’m
Coining this phrase it means bring your own excursion in our fictitious madeup Excursion we pet every single cat in the entire town if you’re in the tourism industry in RADS Greece I highly recommend you steal this idea before we trademark it because honestly we had the best time ever on this
Excursion if you went to roads Greece do you think you would enjoy doing this all day please let us know in the comments know besides our cat Excursion we spent the day walking around checked out the grounds of this medieval castle and then finally we had to limp
Back towards the ship we were both so tired from walking around all day Gary captured this video as we were getting ready to sail away from roads of course these videos never do justice on how beautiful everything was another Cruise vacation Sunset we love the evening lighting by
The pool and this evening we have dinner reservations for sushi on 5 the main dining room food on Celebrity is so good we usually do not like to spend extra on the specialty dining but in an earlier Vlog video for this cruise we had mentioned they were offering Hefty discounts we both love
Sushi so we figured Now’s the Time to try it and one thing kind of cool about the sushi restaurant is it is only separated from the bar area by these open paneled walls so you were able to enjoy live music all throughout dinner look how empty the restaurant
Is not because it’s not high quality just because the ship was so empty well while we wait to get our seat if you don’t mind hitting the like And subscribe button with the notification Bell on we’d really appreciate it we are so close to getting 1,000 subscribers having 1,000 subscribers will allow us

Green tea in a minute thank you thank you the entertainment for this evening was Celebrity Cruise Line’s premiere of The Magic hotel which was you guessed it a magic show I’m not sure if we were permitted to film the actual show so we just held
Off just in case but our review of the show overall was it was fine I think it was just a little overhyped by the cruise director World premiere of a brand new magic show only seen on Celebrity Cru lines and it was just kind of a run-ofthe-mill magic show the magician
Was pretty cute I don’t remember his name we’ve seen better magic shows on cruise ships we’ve seen worse magic shows on cruise ships if you sail on Infinity definitely worth going to and look we are going to have to end part five of our celebrity Infinity Cruise
