Nice itinerary for someone who has never traveled to South America or cruised through the Panama Canal. We chose this cruise because it had a good combination of days at sea and Port stops. The Infinity is an older ship and not as up to date at the Solstice Class of ships that Celebrity offers. The overall cruise was outstanding, the service,entertainment and cleanliness was top notch. It would have added to the cruise experience if Celebrity brought back music and entertainment in between the early and late seating's in the main areas of the ship. The Beyond the Podium series of lectures with Bill Fall and MickeyLive were excellent! Interesting and educational. Great way to spend an hour or two during the sea days.
I have been on a number of Celebrity Cruises and I believe along with many of my ship mates that the entertainment on board was fantastic. The right combination of different acts, that were very entertaining. The food on board was adequate, about what you would expect on a cruise. I booked my own excursions and was very satisfied with the results for each port. The Ports for the most part were interesting especially Colon, where we took a tour of the Rainforest, the Canal, and other interesting sights in the area. The historic area of Cartagena was worthwhile and interesting. Manta, Equador not a highlight stop for this cruise. I enjoyed Arica Chile and the last stop of Valapariso. All in all a worthwhile cruise, and one I would HIGHLY recommend
If you are used to going on the Solstice Class/ Celebrity, a step down.. Smaller room, no couch, less closet space.
