Background: My wife and I like to travel. We are both in our fifties. We have traveled to destinations in Bermuda, Canada, the Caribbean, England, Scotland, France, and throughout the United States. We have taken cruises on Carnival Conquest, Glory, Celebrity Century,  Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the Seas and a Disney Cruise on Premier Cruise Line many years ago. This was our second cruise on the Celebrity Cruise Line.  I am writing this review as objectively as possible based on our experiences on Infinity between July 17 and July 24, 2009.   We traveled with my cousin and her husband who were on their first cruise.  Embarkation/Debarkation: Very well organized. We arrived at approximately 11:25 a.m. It took us approximately 45 minutes from parking garage to a seat in the Oceanview Grill overlooking Seattle harbor.  We were greeted at the entrance to Infinity by several smiling crew, offering champagne or juice. Debarkation was just as well organized. Dining in the Main Dining Room on disembarkation day began at 6:00 a.m. We were told to meet in the Celebrity Theatre by 8:20 a.m. We were off the ship, picked up our luggage, through customs, and in the parking garage by 9:00 a.m. Cabin 6093:   This cabin was wonderful. Plenty of storage room for two people. We had a verandah on the port side of the ship. The cabin had a small table and couch. The cabin looked as if it were new. The bathroom had a nice size shower. In room amenities included: 2 bathrobes, lots of hangers, normal hotel style shampoo, conditioner, and lotion, a hair dryer, a safe, a flat screen television with remote, and nice hotel style bedding and sheets.  It was very comfortable. The bed had a rounded foot which helped with the traffic flow in the room. The room was located near the midships elevator and was very quiet. We did not hear other passengers in our room, but could hear them if they were on their verandahs at the same time we were. This was never a problem on our cruise.  Our cabin steward Peter kept our room neat and orderly throughout the cruise.  General Condition of Ship: This ship was in great condition. The outer-works of the ship were painted and clean. The decks were cleaned regularly. The pool area and lounge chairs were clean.  The Persian Garden, T-Pool, and Men's locker rooms were clean and in good repair.  I walked extensively on decks 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, and 12  I don't believe I have been on a more beautiful or well maintained ship. Captain Theodore Mitropoulas, Staff Captain Alexandros Papadopoulos, Chief Engineer Argyrios Poulakis, and Hotel Director Adam L. Scott should be commended for the condition of this ship, particularly considering the ship has been sailing with full passenger loads in a sometimes poor weather environment.  Ships Crew: The crew was uniformly nice, helpful, and attentive to our requests. Seldom would we walk by any crew member of any type without the person saying a greeting to us. We met several of the ship's officers while in various activities on the ship and they were also approachable and obviously proud of the ship.  My wife forgot her wrap at dinner one evening and did not miss it until we were in the Celebrity Theatre awaiting one of the shows.  She thought she had left it at the Rendezvous Lounge where we usually waited before dinner.  I went back there and not one, but two members of the staff helped me look for it, took down information for the cleaning crew, and were very helpful.  At their suggestion I also went to the Guest Relations desk which also took down the information.  Fortunately, it turned out that she had actually gotten into the dining room with it and our waiter had it for us, so all was well.  Later in the week I had a minor dispute about an item on my bill which was quickly and efficiently resolved to my complete satisfaction by the Guest Relations Desk.  Cruise Director:  Artie Anderson is in his first year of cruise directing.  Cruise directors are always dynamic, outgoing individuals, but Artie had a unique sincerity that endeared him to everyone he came into contact with.  He was everywhere on the ship, meeting people and making sure things were going well.  A new activity that he has implemented is that of a guest choir.  We, along with all other fellow passengers, were invited to attend choir rehearsals, and about 30 individuals participated in our final performance Thursday morning, on the steps of the Grand Foyer.  We performed four Broadway show tunes, and it was a lot of fun and allowed us to meet other passengers that we normally might not have met.  Dining Room Staff:  Our waiter, Savio and his assistant, Asep,  were excellent.  Each evening Savio would provide us with his recommendations for the evening.  Asep made sure that drinks were replenished, bread was available, and generally made sure we did not need to ask for anything twice.  They worked well as a team.  They were also friendly and chatted with us when their duties allowed.  Our wine steward was also very helpful and made sure that our bottles of wine were ready at the beginning of each meal and poured for us as she would go by our table on her duties.  Food:  Oceanview Cafe and other food venues on board:  My wife and I ate one breakfast, several lunches, and one dinner in the Oceanview Cafe and Grill.  The food was well prepared and you had several choices of main course, accompanying dishes, breads, and desserts.  I would particularly recommend the Celebrity waffles which are located near the rear of the ship for breakfast.  If you don't want a full lunch the pizza station was always good, as was the hamburger and hot dog station near the pool area.  My favorite thing was always the ice cream stations.  It served 6-7 types of ice cream and sherbert by the bowl or cone.  They changed the flavors every day.  What a treat!!!We did not eat in the SS United States.  Trellis Dining Room:  We had great meals here.  The appetizers, breads, and desserts were particularly good in this dining room.  The soups, salads, and main courses were also good.  Savio usually recommended the lamb, seafood, or pork dishes on this menu, and we were never sorry that we followed his recommendations.  The seafood dishes were uniformly excellent throughout the cruise  The food presentation and quantities of food on the plate were quite well done in my opinion.  Our dining experience was always pleasant and added to our enjoyment of the cruise.  NEW MENUS IN MAIN DINING ROOM:  I asked Savio about this hot topic with Celebrity Cruisers.  He stated that the new menus have been received onboard the Infinity and that the kitchen and wait staff are beginning the process of learning to prepare and serve the new dishes.  He thinks the menu is a very good one and has heard good things about the new menus from people who have been on the Millennium.  He believes the new menus are still several weeks away from going into use on the Infinity.  Entertainment:  Absolutely the best across the board we have had on any cruise.  The Celebrity singers and dancers, the Celebrity Orchestra, stage and sound crew were outstanding.  They presented a Broadway Review, a 50's and 60's Rock and Roll show, and a wonderful extravaganza called, "Celebrate the World" which was truly spectacular.  We also enjoyed the Aaron Cohen Jazz Trio, Bella Strings, Dathleen and the Saints Dance Band, Top Notch Party Band,  Cesarios - Guitar player and vocalist, and The Dockers Acappella Singing Group. All of them were very professional and a joy to listen to.  However, our favorite entertainer on board was Carlos Avalon, the pianist in Michael's Club.  A Wonderful man with a fine singing voice and a friendly spirit.  I would recommend a trip into Michael's Club for a nice drink, easy listening music, and relaxing fun for a nice way to end a busy cruise day.  Our second favorite entertainer was naturalist and  lecturer Brett Nixon who taught us many things about Alaska's natives, wildlife and history in an inspiring and highly entertaining presentation style which kept you interested while you learned, and our third favorite entertainer was comedian Fred Klett.  Hope that he is on the ship when you are, if so don't miss his comedy show as it is hilarious and suitable for all ages.  Captains Club:  My wife and I are new members of this club.   Our Captain's Club hostess could not have been nicer and she organized some great events.  We attended both of the Captains Club receptions onboard the ship and enjoyed the food and drink, meeting ship officers and staff, and fellow cruisers. I also appreciated the inviation I received from Capt. Mitropoulos to tour the bridge of the Infinity.  Our small group received some interesting insight into the job of being responsible for such a large ship and all who sail in her.  It was very informative.  THINGS YOU NEED TO DO ON THE SHIP:  Go to the Shows.  Yes I mean every one of them.  Make sure to dance in the Constellation Lounge with the Cruise Director's staff and the Top Notch Party Band, Have a quiet dance with Katie and the Saints before dinner each evening, Attend the elegant tea in the Trellis dining room, the SeaDay Brunch, and the Gala Desserts Evening, and my wife and I particularly enjoyed an event called SIZZLE!   It was held in the Constellation Lounge on Tuesday evening and is paired with the Gala Desserts Evening Event.  You will have a brief show put on by the cruise director, his staff, and the Celebrity singers, dancers, and orchestra followed by general dancing with many of the Ships officers, Cruise Director and staff, the singers, the dancers who will dance with you, mingle with the guests at their tables and visit with them while still in costume, etc.  This was a unique and wonderful event that we have not seen on any other ship.  It was alot of fun and really brought home the idea that the Infinity is a "happy" ship with a crew that treats you as fellow travellers.   Conclusion: We had a great time on a wonderful ship.  We were very satisfied and we are looking forward to another cruise on Celebrity. Happy Cruising!!   Bob and Linda
