What Celestyal experience do you look forward to most when onboard?I love the sail away party on the Celestyal Discovery - there’s nothing quite like it! My go-to is a Belvedere and soda with a squeeze of lime… or, as I like to call it, a “Belve and Soda.” If you spot me onboard, ask me about it — and who knows, the next one might be on me.

What is your favorite Celestyal destination and why?
At the moment, my favorite destination has to be Mykonos. Tucked just behind the City Hall, you’ll find Niko’s Tavern — a beloved local gem serving truly excellent food.

What Celestyal experience do you look forward to most when onboard? Celestyal is the way the expert sommeliers and carefully crafted menus highlight the flavors of the Greek Islands through fresh local ingredients and exceptional regional wines.

What is your favorite Celestyal destination and why?
If I had to choose just one favorite Celestyal destination, it would be Milos which is on our 7-night "Idyllic Greece" itinerary. As a beach girl, there's nothing I love more than sitting by the water and taking in the breathtaking shades of blue. From its stunning coastline and crystal-clear waters to its charming villages, Milos completely steals your heart and perfectly captures the beauty and serenity of the Greek Isles.
