We booked this trip last July after returning from our 3rd Alaska cruise. We are big fans of RCL and wanted to try Celebrity. The ship getting a refurbishment at the end of last year had an impact on our decision for booking this cruise. We were not disappointed.
We flew into Seattle on July 4th. We stayed at Inn At The Market for two nights. The room was very nice. We booked a city view room, on arrival we were told we had been upgraded to a two level suite.The view of Puget sound from the hotel's rooftop deck was amazing. This was a nice place to unwind at the end the day while enjoying a cold beverage.Everyone at the hotel from the front desk to the bellmen and housekeeping were fantastic. I would definitely stay there again.We walked all over downtown Seattle for those two days and saw quite a bit of what Seattle had to offer.
We were travelling with friends and the four of us arrived at the ship about 11:00 AM. The embarkation process was very efficient and we were on board in less than an hour. Our rooms were not going to be ready until approximately 1:00PM. We were greeted with Mimosa's when we boarded the Infinity. We made our way to the Oceanview Cafe on deck 10 for a bite to eat and wait for the ship to depart. Our rooms were ready before 1:00 PM and our luggage wasn't too far behind. The room was quite nice, we selected this cabin on the stern of the ship for the views. The veranda was quite large. It had enough room for a small table with two chairs as well as two chaise lounges. We had one minor problem with a mildew (sour) odor in the bathroom. We determined the odor was coming from the shower curtain. We mentioned the problem to our cabin attendant and by the time we returned to the room after the muster drill, the problem was corrected. We always had fresh fruit waiting for us daily.
Cabin 9162 category (C3)- Great views from the stern of the ship. Veranda was quite large. The cabins in this area of the ship are under the outside seating of the Oceanview Cafe. I was worried about noise from above and the potential of smelling the smoke from the smokers sitting in this area. The noise of chairs sliding across the deck was minimal and the smell of people smoking was almost non-existant.I would book this cabin type again.
