We boarded Celebrity Infinity in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Overall the ship condition shows its age, but it is in good repair. It wasn't quite as lavish as I was expecting though.
Let me begin by saying how extremely fortunate we were to have been able to make all ports of call and sail into the bay at Cape Horn on our trip that left on 12-14-10, We were told the only other cruise that was here the week before us was not able to reach the Falkland Islands, Elephant Island, or go down to Antarctica or through Cape Horn as the waves were too high and rough and winds were too strong. We were however, able to reach Cape Horn in the bay, but the captain announced that since the winds were so strong, we would not be sailing around the horn. Seas were a little rocky on the two of the days we were at sea, but not near as bad as we were anticipating. Guess the saying is true, Cape Horn can be a Sailors Graveyard or a calm sea...we foruntatly had the calm sea!
Food - Overall food was exceptional. We have cruised 5 other times on Royal Caribbean and Cunard and Celebrity, and by far, Celebrity comes out on top of all others. Presentation, quality, quantity, and taste far exceeded other lines.
Out cabin was an inside cabin located on deck 8 midship. It consisted of a double bed, two nightstands, a loveseat and small coffee table, writing desk, 6 drawers for storage and a large closet for hanging items and storing luggage. Bathroom amentities included shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, bar soap, hairdryer, clothes line. Pitchers of water and ice were constantly replenished and room made to look like no one had ever been there. Included chocolates every night on our pillows and plenty of lighting. Nice accomodations.
