We wanted to go to see penguins and visit Antarctic. We were informed by Celebrity 7 days before departure that the ship was having propulsion issues, but we were not allowed to cancel the cruise. We ended up missing 2 and 1/2 ports. There were only four ports of call. We did go to Antarctic, which was great, but we missed seeing any Rookeries for the penguins. This was very disappointing. ...
Our cruise to Antarctica was a truly amazing experience onboard Celebrity Infinity. Everything about our cruise and the destinations were wonderful. The service and the crew were great. We loved the ship and found it to be so much better than the growning and moaning reviews of so many. I would sail on her again in a heartbeat and in fact we are for the next two weeks. We feel so fortunate to have ...
This was supposed to be a trip of a life time, booked over 2 years ago.
But its prove to be anything but. We were notified 5 days before departure that "due to a technical issue with the ship's propulsion system, as a precaution, we will have to reduce our maximum speed by a few knots". This meant they cancelled the stop to Puerto Madryn (penguins). We received the princely sum of £131 ...
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 ...
My friend who celebrated her 70th birthday last year has had a lifelong interest in the polar explorers particularly Shackleton. We therefore booked the cruise over 2 years ago and were very excited about the whole event.
Unfortunately days before our departure we were advised that the itinerary had been changed (with no choice on our part to change our minds) because of a problem with the ...
As an Elite Captain's Club member on Celebrity Infinity's Antarctica cruise sailing January 22nd from Buenos Aires, I related my disappointment to the Concierge Mr. Hernandez in the Library on the 8th floor. He basically blew me off. I have already booked 4 cabins on a Celebrity Cruise in the Caribbean next February. I thinking we may need to cancel and change lines. I have not heard one word ...
1. Notified just a couple of days ahead of departure of propeller problems and that we would misse Port Madryn.
2. Into Ushuala Argentina extremely late 4:30pm and stayed to 2am--long after the town had closed down.
3. Missed Port Stanley. The day we should have arrived was a beautiful day and but the day we attempted to approach Port Stanley we were in purported to be "hurricane force" ...
We wanted to see Antarctica and some ports of call in South America and Mulvenas Is. This was offered by the cruise on CC Infinity.
Just before we left Celebrity cancelled Pt Madryn because the vessel was under-powered. What CC did not tell us was that Infinity had been operating for some time under-powered. The whole cruise ran late from the start and Celebrity knew that it would. it reached ...
Chose Antarctica as the trip of a lifetime. Was a totally awful experience :
1. Ship had only one azapod so 72 hours pre-departure we were informed the itinerary was changing as the ship was unable to travel at full speed. 14 day itinerary and we lost one of only four land stops. We are due compensation of 1/14th of the cruise cost but this has not been received yet. Worth noting that the ship ...
