I was somewhat worried about booking this ship due to some of the negative reviews about how old, worn & rusty it was starting to look. I tend to be a person that scrutinizes everything, hence my concern. You just need to do your research and make an informative decision on your preferences. The reason we did book were due to the positive comments, price, destination & Vancouver Port leaving & ...
This was a family cruise for my mother's birthday. She chose Celebrity because of the age range of the clientele. Of course, when you want to leave from Vancouver, that limits your choices even more. Background, my husband and I have sailed on both the Summit and the Constellation (sisters to the Infinity) and we love the layout and size of this ship. Most especially the Oceanview Bar at the aft ...
First time cruising with Celebrity and whilst we enjoyed the cruise, it could have been so much better but was let down by important items.
First of all, the pros :
Easy embarkation at Vancouver. Excellent entertainment, nice balcony cabin, very good room attendant, good drinks package, excellent bar staff at Martini bar, very smooth sailing, great access to view Hubbard glacier.

This was our 6th cruise, second on X and First on a Millenium Class Ship.
Everything on this cruise was better than expected, including the superb weather. We loved the ship, the crew, the food and the entertainment. We booked another cruise while on board. The ship as mentioned in other reviews is not new; however it is very well maintained and nothing in relation of the ship's age impacted ...
We had a couple of nights in Vancouver before and several more after our cruise which helped break up the trip and allow us to see the sights. A great place to visit. Lots going on. The cruise let us wind down and relax, joining in activities as we wanted. The naturalist, Milos, was quite inspiring but informative in his talks and always amusing. All staff were unfailingly welcoming and chatty, ...
As this was our very first cruise, we didn't have anything to compare against, however our expectations for what was our Honeymoon were higher than what we experienced on our cruise with Celebrity Cruises.
Whilst the list of amenities available is indeed impressive and the service provided was generally very good/excellent, I feel Celebrity Cruises can refine some of the services they provide ...
We normally cruise on smaller ships, this was our second cruise on a Celebrity ship, and the first time for the friends that accompanied us. We had a smooth embarkation. However, it took a long time for our bags to reach our room – late afternoon even though we arrived at 11:00am.
We chose Aqua Class for this 7 day Alaska cruise while our friends went Concierge. The cabins were identical, ...
Took our Kids and Grandkids on the Celebrity Infinity for a one week cruise to Alaska. Entire cruise was great with wonderful service not only by our Cabin Steward, but also in the Restaurant where the Waiter & Bus Boy were very attentive without being on top of you. They did an outstanding job in recommending the best dishes to have each night. Also had dinner in the new specialty restaurant ...
Chose this cruise because of the itinerary. Some helpful and friendly staff but lack of information a problem for First Time Cruisers. Dining was not an enjoyable experience. Main dining room too manic and food very average. Buffet style food generally a better option for variety. Qsine restaurant novel but poor food. Entertainment was standard stuff, not yo out taste at all.
Views of wildlife ...
This was our first cruise and unfortunately we have decided it just isn't for us. We should have maybe started with a cruise around the Mediterranean first, stopping off somewhere everyday but as we wanted to see Alaska we decided to do it this way. As we were at sea so much we felt trapped. There were abundant things to do but most of them involved spending even more money, e.g. Art and Jewellery ...
