Additional details

Sail Date: Oct 2012

IMPORTANT: There is no self serve laundry on the Infinity. So either you take all the clothes you need for the trip, or you pay to have it done ($4.00 shorts/shirt, $5.00 pants). There was a rumor that we would be offered a per bag laundry deal...didn't happen, so be prepared. TAKE EXTRA HANGARS.

IMPORTANT: Don't waste room in your suitcase taking irons and heating pads. They will be confiscated when you board the ship. Gentlemen...don't take penknives OF ANY SIZE. They will also be confiscated. My husband took his knife off at a port and it was taken when reboarding. You will be given a receipt to pick up your item(s) at debarkation. Crochet hooks, knitting needles and needlepoint items don't seem to be a problem. I pack my scissors in my checked luggage.

PACKING: suggest you take...extra hangars, clothes pins, small flashlight (for when you drop the earring under the bed), envelopes for extra tips for wait staff, ANY meds you think you might need (cold, aspirins, nasal...expensive on ship), highlighter to mark what you want to do daily on the Celebrity Today so you don't miss anything, alarm clock (no clocks in your room....you can put in for wake up call but we heard they didn't always work).

Cabin Review

CABIN 2000...front of the ship, next to the crew door, however, we hardly ever heard the crew door shut. Had a constant hum (white noise) that didn't bother us at all. Very large round window with a shelf area in front of it. Comfortable bed, 4 pillows, 2 duvets available. Half size loveseat that would unfold into single bed, wall counter and chair, oval table that we had removed from the room to allow more walking space. Hairdryer, robes, umbrellas, safe. Stocked refrig with little room for your own stuff. Closet has about dozen wooden hangars, 6 short narrow drawers and hanging space is limited due to a box that is built into the cupboard...clothes can be hung sideways. Bathroom has clothesline in the shower (bring your own clothespins), soap, shampoo and conditioner and hand lotion provided. Night light in the bathroom. Plenty of hot water. Water hot enough in sink to make a passable cup of tea. Chocolates on pillows each night....no towel animals the entire trip! Our cabin stewards, Frederick and Jacinto were excellent.
