The weather was exceptional for this time of year. We left Seattle on time and watched the city disappear in the distance, and we sailed by San Juan Islands. The ship was just the perfect size for this cruise. We were always greeted with smiles and a "hello", or similar, by staff. We didn't notice the wear and tear aboard, as others have mentioned, but we were having too much fun to notice, I guess. The Infinity is due for a overhaul in November, so it will only be that much better when finished. We are fairly new to cruising, as we only had one prior cruise, in 2006, on the Constellation. It was a trans-Atlantic cruise, with only two ports of call.

There was a last minute change in our dining time, from the late to the earlier seating, but it wasn't made known to us until late the first night. We had already booked a 3 night dinner package at the SS America, specialty restaurant, that included a bottle of wine with each dinner. We did dine in the main dining room only two times, and it was very nice, although our table was in the entry area of the restaurant. Not a very desirable area, but the waiter and helper were very attentive. Can't say enough about the dinner package at the SS America. There was a wonderful selection of food to choose from, and for us, too much to eat. The presentation was superb. It was an excellent, quiet, and relaxing meal each time.

The entertainment aboard was great. Jocka & Maria did a Cirque du Soleil type show which was amazing. We enjoy watching that type of talent anyway. There was the typical Broadway type show as well. These men and women put their heart into each show, and everyone around us enjoyed their efforts. There was also a young man who did magic. He was starting out in his career, and did quite a good job. Also a Naturalist on board, who was quite entertaining, as well as informative. He gave lectures on Orcas, Humpback whales, Seals, Sea Lions, Eagles, and Bears. We enjoy finding out about the areas we visit, and the wild life that is around, so we found this to be an excellent educational enhancement to the cruise.

Cabin Review

Ocean View 5

Cabin 05

Our room was 3000. It was the last room, in the bow of the ship. It was an outside cabin, with a very large porthole for a window. The room was a decent size, and so was the bathroom. Being that far forward, and the last cabin, it was very quiet. Our seas were quite calm, so I'm not sure how that would be if you had rough seas, and a tendency toward sea sickness. We wouldn't hesitate to as for that cabin again.
