This is the diary of our very first cruise.
We went to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.
We live in Cyprus and have visited many of the locations before, so there isn't much of the main tourist sites in the video. It is a record of our experience on the ship and also on shore.
The cruise departed on 31 July 2021 in the middle of a heatwave. The first trip ashore was to Athens where it was 45 degrees (or 113 Fahrenheit) which meant that we didn't stay ashore for long on any of the islands.
The itinerary was as follows.
Day 1: Embark at Limassol.
Day 2: At sea. (4:22)
Day 3: Piraeus (for Athens). (10:14)
Day 4: Mykonos. (12:26)
Day 5: Santorini. (14:50)
Day 6: Crete. (18:06)
Day 7: Rhodes. (20:12)
Day 8: Disembark at Limassol. (20:54)
Please note that at the end of August Royal Caribbean changed the order of the ports and the day at sea is now Friday.
The entire video was filmed on a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and edited in Adobe Premiere Pro.
