A 23 year old ship is never going to be impressive compared to a glitzy new one, but you know that before you board. What Infinity might lack in the the latest pizzazz it more than makes up for in style and friendliness and the recent dry-dock has left her nicely smartened up. Many carpets, furniture and beds have been replaced. (They even renewed many balcony chairs mid cruise).
Being a ...
Loved this cruise. Certainly helped by great weather and low price but also had very interesting ports of call of Thessaloniki (where we overnighted, and especially enjoyed), Kusadasi, Limassol, Rhodes and Heraklion. I've reviewed all of these in the relevant Ports of Call sections). Ship itself looking good after a refit, staff very cheerful and helpful, and food variable but generally good ...
We chose this cruise because the dates were right and there was 70% off the 2nd person. We originally planned our honeymoon in Maui, close to Lahaina but it was ravaged by fire so we opted to change our plans but that left us with not as many options within that time frame. I preferred to go to Italy and Montenegro but as it turned out, the ports we went to were awesome. Absolutely beautiful and ...
We have just returned from a week aboard Celebrity Infinity.
We have cruised many times before with P&O, Princess, Royal Caribbean and MSC - This was our first cruise with Celebrity.
We travelled as a family with two teenagers during 6 weeks holidays. There was not very many kids on board which suited us fine.
Yes - Infinity is showing her age and is due a refurb, but she still has a ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and the reputation of Celebrity. We arrived in Athens two days early, which was fortunate because our luggage didn’t show up for two days. Boarding was easy and efficient. We had arrived early at the port because that was when we were dropped off, but that did not present a problem. We left our bags (inside stateroom) and met our room steward, Roselle. ...
We decided post pandemic to get cruising again, and a 7 Night adventure in the Adriatic and Greek Islands sounded fine for us. It was over 15 years ago since we had sailed with Celebrity ( to the Carribean ), so we booked through IGLU travel, and their sevice has been fantastic. Firstly, all the planning by them has gone like a dream. We got a deal on Aqua Class and an all inclusive standard ...
It’s true, the Infinity needs an overhaul but it still is a beautiful ship but the crew is what was most impressive. We were told it is going into dry dock in January for an overhaul.
We are long time cruisers and have been sailing with Celebrity since before they were purchased by RCCL, almost 30 years ago. We chose this itinerary because we hadn’t yet been to Croatia.
Leaving from Athens ...
We chose that cruise for its itinerary on the Mediterranean. We'd already been to most of the places, except Rhodes and Israel. We started with three days in Rome and stayed in Athens for a week at the end of the cruise. We got to Civitavecchia in a shared shuttle which picked us up from the flat we had rented. Embarkation was perfect. We were aboard at twelve, went to the self service restaurant ...
my daughter and i chose this cruise for the itinerary and the journey (spa cabin). Thanks to a member of cruise critic we booked 2 10 hr. day trips to jerusalem from ashod and took the 3rd day in haifa to rest our guide had an ma in archeokogy and provided great info cheaper than a celebrity shore excursion. we booked 2 b2b cruises so we had 6 days in israel pompeii was on my ...
The Celebrity experience would be very hard to surpass in my opinion. From day 1 to disembarkation, every aspect of my cruise was excellent. We did the Adriatic & Italian itinerary which was amazing. The ship is very elegant, old Hollywood glamour I thought. We stayed in a balcony stateroom which I think is worth the extra money, returning to my room and being able go go out onto the balcony and ...
