I have to say overall it was a great cruise. Started in Rotterdam and ended in Athens. The service was impeccable. So helpful and friendly. I was with a group of 12 others. We tried all 4 restaurants the first 4 nights then ate in Eden the 5th night. During that dinner we said we missed going to the same restaurant with the same waiter every night. So I spoke with the matre' d and every night at ...
The cruise started well after a short train ride from Rome to the terminal and a bus to the ship. First impressions were great and we spent the first day exploring the ship and having a few drinks at different bars. We had an AquaClass room and our tip is to look for a layout where the bed is close to the window. We enjoyed sleeping with the window open and hearing the sea. It was also ...
Sadly, it is the last day of our cruise. I am happily sitting in the Constellation at deck 11 forward tip of the ship lounge with a cup of coffee, enjoying the view of Hydra. I love this lounge. It is huge, 3/4s around floor to seating windows, air conditioned and quiet most of day time.
First, I will comment on a couple of board type topics. We had chocolates on our pillows, our room was ...
About us: I'm in my early 60s and my GF is in her late 50s. I've cruised over 20 times, mostly on Celebrity & MSC.
Full Thread/Blog: I did a day-by-day write-up called "We board Infinity in about an hour. Let me know if you have any questions". It goes into considerably more detail.
Overview: This was a 7 day cruise out of Ravenna, which is about 3 hours from Venice. It stopped in ...
We chose this Celebrity cruise because it seemed to have some interesting and exotic ports. The cruise line was an important choice, but the ship didn't seem to be that important. But we were pleasantly surprised. The Infinity is about 20 years old, and to be honest, it could stand to be freshened up. The decor seemed dated, but clean and in good shape. The Infinity can hold a little over 2,000 ...
Good news - The ship is very nice, the staff was excellent.
Bad news - excursions were not good - canceled - most are 50 people on a bus with a long drive. Very disappointing. We ended up changing several and booking on Viator and private options.
Food was mediocre. Opus was bad and Luminae had very poor selection. The premium restaurants overcharged us not once but twice. it ...
This is the 5th celebrity cruise I have taken, and the second time on the Edge. Overall, the experience was wonderful as usual, which is why we continue to sail on celebrity. This was our first cruise post covid, and the first thing to note is that the ship was exceptionally clean.
Celebrity has always been a clean ship, but I did take extra notice that crews and workers were out constantly to ...
Family of 5 including three teens. We loved the cruise, but I'm going to start with a "watch outs" so it's the first thing you read.
The bad:
DO NOT buy the zero proof drink package. It cost $30 per person per day plus 20% gratuity-- so close to $1200 for our family of 5. I bought it because I was led to believe there was no access to non-alcoholic drinks onboard with the base (zero ...
First time cruising with Celebrity and was impressed by the quality of service. This was our second cruise and from the time we embarked until the time we left the ship, service was outstanding. Embarkation was a breeze. It took us 20 minutes to get to our room from the time we got to the pier! It helped a great deal that Celebrity offers online check-in and we had done all we could before ...
We choose this cruise as I was restricted to the date and amount of time I could have off.
We have sailed in the past with Carnival, Ncl, P&O and finally celebrity - this was our 1st Celebrity cruise - and what I can say is that the service on celebrity is better than those other cruise lines.
This was our longest cruise being 13 days - with 7 sea days including (departure day)
The sea ...
