"I was puzzled by the negative reviews about Infinity. She is an older ship and maybe does not have all the bells and whistles of the mega ships, but she is kept spotlessly clean, the food is great, the..."Read More
We chose this cruise to see Antarctica. We had been booked originally with HAL but after doing an EXC Holland America cruise through the Pacific last April we decided to cancel. We wanted a cruise that had some entertainment for the many sea days. This was our first cruise on Celebrity and we were very happy with most things.
Our cabin was nice on the 10th floor mid ship Concierge class. I ...
We were looking for an Australian Cruise when we stumbled on the Antarctica cruise on the Celebrity Eclipse, with a 4 perk deal that we couldn’t refuse. This was our second South American cruise, with our first being two years prior on the Emerald Princess with an Around the Horn. As vacation days are still limited for me, we booked a direct flight from Atlanta to Buenos Aires and skipped ...
The reason for this cruise is simple: ANTARCTICA!!! The most amazing place I've ever been. The other ports were Buenos Aires, Ushuaia, Falkland Islands (cancelled because of weather) Puerto Madryn, Argentina and Montevideo. There were a lot of sea days so I think they struggled to find enough entertainers or those willing to fly to South America. For example; the in house performed a night of ...
We chose Celebrity Eclipse for one, the itinerary and two we have sailed with them on a few occasions previous. The itinerary was amazing and one we will not forget, feeling very privalidged to be visiting Antarctica. We have sailed on Eclipse before and love the ship, good main dining room, ocean view cafe if you want to be more casual and speciality restaurants you can pay an extra cover charge ...
As most, we booked this cruise for the opportunity to see the Antarctic. With that comes a lot of sea days and few port days which would normally not be our choice. We've cruised with Celebrity before and also with Oceania, Princess and Royal Caribbean.
The Buenos Aires embarkment could have been better. Outside the port, there were so many taxis that our taxi driver dropped us off about a ...
We went on this cruise because it was a 14 day cruise to Antarctica. We have most often cruised with Holland America, but their cruise to Antarctica is 22 days. We had heard that Celebrity is slightly better than Holland america, but we found the opposite to be true.
First the good news: Eclipse is a beautiful ship, very well appointed and maintained. It does miss a promenade deck walk way, but ...
We had booked this cruise 2 years ago and were very excited when the time finally arrived to go to Antarctica. We spent 3 nights in Buenos Aires beforehand and enjoyed our time there. Embarkation was straightforward, our inside cabin on deck 8 was ready quite early, we had lunch at Oceanview Cafe after we dropped off our things. The food there was very good as it was for the whole cruise.
We of ...
Celebrity Infinity review Feb 18-March 4 2018
We have just returned from the Infinity Antarctic cruise Feb 18. Overall, this was an amazing cruise. We began the planning almost 4 years ago ( we scheduled on a 2016 sailing but had to postpone for (good) family reasons). After that long, it was hard to believe that the time had arrived! About 3 weeks before sailing we were notified by Celebrity ...
I cruised Celebrity when they first launched 1989. They had bought another cruise ship. It was squeaky. I do recall an exceptional wine list.
I want to cruise my 6th continent for a 'big birthday' and chose celebrity because of date and price. I flew into Buenos Aires a few days early to hedge my bets. I enjoyed exploring the city on my own and with local tour operators.
Check-in went ...
We chose this cruise as our first, and chose Celebrity as my parents had had some good experiences with the cruise line. Our intentions were to view the wildlife of the southern oceans and to visit the Falkland Islands. The first goal of viewing the wildlife was partially met by seeing some whales, seals and albatrosses but only a handful of penguins from a distance. The second goal, to visit ...
