Our last day in Athens had us up early looking for breakfast near our hotel. We found the Regal Restaurant after just a few minutes walk, most places were still setting up their patios.

After breakfast we returned to the hotel, Acropolis Stay to check out. We would definitely recommend this hotel - the staff are super friendly and the rooms are spotless! It’s just a quick 5-10 minute walk from the Acropolis (side entrance) and Monastiraki Square is only 15-20 minutes. It was a good thing we liked this hotel as we will be staying here again after the cruise before flying home. The only drawback was the elevator is for luggage only, our room was up two flights of stairs and our knees were not a fan.

After checking out we waited for our ride to the port of Piraeus port and our home for the next 11 days - The Celebrity Infinity.

After arrival we dropped our luggage with the porters, got checked in, went through security, and after a short wait we were on board. First stop the Muster Drill, to get it out of the way, then on to our room to pick up our room keys and drop our remaining bags. Next stop Lunch in the buffet.

We spent the afternoon on the pool deck in the sun with some refreshments before heading to supper and then checking out the evenings activities. A show in the theatre, games and trivia, and music and dancing in the lounge.

Day 2 on the Infinity was a relaxing sea day. These sea days have challenges getting a lounge chair anywhere near the pool. It took us a while but we did manage to find a good spot. We settled in to what would become our norm, afternoons by the pool, dinner in the main dining room, followed by a show in the theatre, then games, trivia, music and dancing in the lounge.
