First, embarkation was a total mess. We were told in advance not to arrive before 1:30 because there was no chance of getting on the ship until then and there was limited seating in the terminal...so we complied, only to find everyone else was there and they had the seats!.. we are "Elite" status Captains Club members, nothing special here, stood like cattle ready for slaughter, the real kicker was they would come and get some passengers and take them on ship (our companions had a Royal Suite and were allowed on while we waited) even after we watched some folks board the infinity staff said we had to wait no one was allowed on the ship! (first lie of the day) We finally got on board about 3pm and reviewed our stateroom.

It was our first inside stateroom in over a decade. Friends planned this trip and we had already taken a trip this year so our decision was to go, but be "conservative". Room 6903 is an inside room recently added to the infinity and was surprisingly roomy but the engineers didn't plan for 15 day cruises. very small bathroom no above counter storage anywhere, several racks broken where storage used to be, not fixed...stateroom near elevator but no noise and location was great. We had called on the Sunday before the Monday sailing and inquired about an upgrade (the website still had several rooms available) they said too late but check when we arrive on ship. Staff told us ship completely sold out!!! inquiries during the cruise indicated several traveling partners said rooms vacate near them..(second lie)

I found the food on board to be very good, maybe the best of any line I've been on. understand this was a generally American group to and from American ports so things like steak etc were better then some Italian or British ports where they cater to a different crowd. but overall great marks for dining in general. They did place us at the wrong table and it wasn't until day 3 when they finally put table numbers on the table we figured that out, but we stayed and all worked out. Read more
