For starters I have cruised 5 times before the Infinity, but not for 12 years and my wife had only been on one 3 day Mexico cruise, we are in our early 50s. This review is going to be long so feel free to jump to the good parts first. We booked our cruise based on the time, cost, literary and the cruise line.

Since I had cruised on Celebrity before I knew I could count on the food being above average and it was, it ranged from Very Good (the lobster believe it or not) to some misses more due to blandness or the food just being cold, as opposed to poor quality ingredients. Desserts were usually pretty good and the ice cream was as good as I had remembered it. Room service brought fresh coffee and croissants to our room every morning the coffee overall was very strong and tasted as though the pots were not cleaned every day. Bistro on 5 was the exception and the coffee there was great the waitress said people always commented on the coffee even though it was the same as used everywhere else on the ship. You cannot order coffee and croissants before 6:30 but can order coffee and pie anytime!

When I looked at the itinerary I was a bit concerned as I had been to Hubbard Glacier and Glacier Bay, but not down Tracy Arm Fjord to Sawyer Glacier. Reading the Celebrity web site for the cruise it does not actually say Sawyer Glacier, we did not get far enough down the Fjord to even see the Glacier which was a major disappointment, later in the year it could very well be better, but they did not explain the reason we did not go further down the Fjord. the Fjord itself is pretty interesting but if you live near or have driven thru mountains like I have in Colorado or Utah, the sheer size and majesty is kind of lost, the same applies to White Pass, I don't want to minimize these 2 sites but just be aware that they will have a different meaning depending on what you have seen before.

Cabin Review

Cabin C2

We had a Hump balcony that is a triangle facing towards the rear of the ship the views were great and we had enough space for 3 people rm 8045, however rust stains on the wall and railing kind of spoiled the view.
