This was my first time on a mass marketed cruise line and I was curious to see what it would be like on a ship with 2,000+ passengers. Overall, I enjoyed the experience, but there are characteristics of the cruise market that may detract from my signing on for a similar experience in the future.

The ship: I have read other reviews that suggested the Infinity was a little less for wear, but though newer ships may have more glitz, I thought Infinity was lovely and generally well-maintained. I saw a few spots in the bathroom that needed repair, and spots of rust on outside areas, but otherwise the ship was clean with elegant decor. I did notice a strange odor in the stairways on several days, but it eventually subsided.

My room: I specifically selected a balcony because I had read this would be essential for getting the full experience of the Canal crossing. I loved having the balcony just for its own sake and would probably recommend one for any cruise (in the right season), but there was plenty of room on the outside decks to view the Canal at any time during the day. The balcony didn't add extra value for that. It was nice, however, to have a quiet spot to get away to, as this was not always available in the public rooms of the ship. Bedding was extremely comfortable. On occasion, bathroom towels were rather thin.

Cabin Review

Concierge Class 1

Cabin C1

Excellent bath, closet space. Connecting door to adjacent room makes it noisy and too easy to hear neighbors.
