Doing a cruise through the norwegian fjords was a lifetime-wish of us. We decided to travel with Celebrity as our Adriatic-Cruise with the Silhouette 2 years ago was stunning - what a mistake!
We booked 10 month in advance - with Celebrity in Frankfurt - and exeperienced the worst service ever! Unfriendly, unhelpful and stressed - all the time when I called. The informations regarding transport ...
There have been both positive and negative reviews posted about the Infinity so i thought i would try to post an objective review as i have sympathy with both standpoints .
We are a middle aged English couple who live just outside London , this was our 6th cruise having cruised with Royal Caribbean (twice) , Holland America(twice) and Carnival (never ever again!!) . We had a smooth 2 hour drive ...
Having cruised for many years with other lines we decided to try Celebrity Cruises this summer.
Embarkation - Smooth and quick, we boarded the ship within 30 mins of arrival at the cruise terminal. Welcome aboard drink was a nice touch.
Ship - Infinity is an older style ship but we found the public areas spacious and comfortable including a large Theatre and impressive two-tier dining room. Our ...
We had an Aqua class cabin on Deck 9, which was fine except for the 'overhang', which made the balcony/stateroom a bit dark and obliterated some of the mountain views. There was also a bit of noise from above in the early morning. Unfortunately we experienced rough seas on one day, which stopped us from visiting Olden but we spent a bit longer in Alesund. All the ports of call were lovely and we ...
This was an experience that will lead us to seriously rethink whether we ever want to cruise again.
We are not new to sailing, but a combination of things lead to a miserable overall trip. Infinity is older, and looks, feels, and smells like it has suffered heavy use. It was packed. The weather was uncooperative-heavy seas, cold and rainy, with one port cancelled for safety reasons. The fjords of ...
I an only agree with many if the points raised by previous reviews of this cruise to Norway. Nothing you can do about the weather but it was so miserable on two of our port days that we didn't venture off as we had got so cold and wet the previous day, neither of us could face it. The ones we did visit in a window of clear weather were wonderful, but still fairly chilly, I should have bought a ...
Norwegian Fjords-Celebrity Infinity August 15-25
We are experienced cruisers, this being our 26th cruise and 18th with Celebrity. We enjoy the many privileges that Elite status brings with it and have been avid, long standing Celebrity supporters. However, this past cruise put that to the test. Our last Celebrity cruise was on the Constellation last fall to the Greek Islands and we had none of ...
We travelled by car to Harwich on the morning of departure. A small delay for car parking and we were on the ship quickly in the warm sunshine. We have cruised a couple of times before, though not on Celebrity, and know from experience and reading reviews that we don't let the small problems and set backs get in the way of a good holiday.
The Norwegian itinerary was fantastic. A mix of cities and ...
Embarkation at Harwich at 2 pm was very quick and we were escorted to Michaels club to meet the concierge, Neil, who explained a few things and sorted out our first dinner bookings. Cabin was ready so we left our bags and headed for some lunch at the Oceanview. Was very busy but we managed to get a table and had a few salads and a drink. There was a good choice of food on display but this was the ...
The "cruise" was just great. Itinerary, pacing, ports - and weather [WOW!]. Fellow cruisers were a delight, including those we met via the CC Roll Call. But the "onboard experience" on Infinity was just OK. Spouse and I had sailed on Galaxy years ago and wanted to try Celebrity again. We agree that Celebrity just isn't us. And that Celebrity isn't what it thinks it is - at least as we see it. We ...
