Overall, we had a nice vacation and trip on the Celebrity Infinity. This ship is definitely older and a pretty standard, mid sized cruise ship. Do not expect any special bells or whistles on this ship. I would like to point out a few things to be aware of:
1. Age of Ship: I have seen some note that the ship was recently refurbished, but if it did, I did not see it. There was lots of visible ...
We chose this cruise due to all the Greek ports that we wanted to visit.
Embarkation was ok, miss the medallion of princess.
Food is not the greatest. The aqua and retreat guest get a much better menu. Menu in the main dining room is less than 2 stars. Fish includes Cajun Spiced Drum, Tilapia of which is mostly farmed and you don’t want to know what they feed farmed raised Tilapia. As I ...
I have always enjoyed Celebrity, and It was not ou have been on Royal Caribbean and P&O. Celebrity was always, and he the best.
The main Dining Room, the food was lukewarm, very small portions. Nouveau cuisine size. It took a long time to be served. We were in the first sitting and we were told to hurry up. It was not our fault. We did not go back.
The rooms were ...
This was our first Celebrity cruise and was chosen to accommodate other companions’ time issues and by virtue of an interesting itinerary.
First some good things: Main dining dinners were all good and service there was good. Vast majority of staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our party included one six-year-old and the ship had a great “camp at sea” program run by an exceptional crew ...
After having been on 10+ cruises, some parts of the Celebrity Edge are among the best and some are among the worst.
Let’s start with the positives.
Eden: This restaurant is gorgeous, the menu is creative, the views (looking through all glasses windows of the aft) are immaculate and the cocktails are straight from a luxury NYC cocktail bar. The food was the best in on the ship
The ...
My husband and I have been cruising for many years, most recently on the smaller cruise lines. We decided to try Celebrity Beyond having cruised with Celebrity several times, (Elite members), but we were very disappointed.
I loved the ship when we initially boarded, but as the cruise went on somehow it just didn't work.
You could not fault the crew, they were lovely and friendly and ...
I booked this cruise as it was opportune, my wife had just been cleared to travel after a serious illness. We really looked forward to a nice relaxing cruise where we could do what we wanted to do at a seriously slow pace. Most disappointing aspect of this cruise, was the food! It started with production of the on board bread from the bakers, which was very poor in taste and consistancy not to my ...
Having cruised several times with Celebrity and having true 5 star experiences, we were keen to try The Beyond which promises unrivaled luxury, food and service...how disappointed we were!
Firstly, having booked Concierge for the upgraded facilities (priority boarding, no longer exists - room service, no longer exists unless you pay - priority dining, no longer exists its a free for all - ...
When we originally booked this cruise the flight details "would be advised later" but Celebrity clearly stated "we will find the best flight for your cruise itinerary". That flight turned out to be a budget airline that required a check in at 3.30AM!
It meant leaving home at 1.30AM.
So an entirely sleepless night and this is supposed to be a relaxed cruise?
Lesson number 1, never ...
We have sailed with Celebrity a number of times but this time I was amazed at their money grabbing approach. After we have paid for the cruise they then ask for unseen charges. For example Wifi was 222.27 US dollars per week or 25 dollars per hour. They also expect you to pay your cabin attendant their wages amounting to 17.50 $US a day per person, or $US 244 dollars per couple, per week.(All ...
