We loved the itinerary on this cruise, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Monterey, Catalina and Ensenada! Included overnight in San Francisco. The staff on this ship is terrific, very attentive and nice. My biggest complaint was the Tuscan Grill. My filet was dry, the veal Marsala was heavily fried, little Marsala sauce, if any and the pasta was watery!. No elegance to the dining experience. ...
This was at least our fifth cruise on Celebrity, the second on this ship class. We absolutely love the Thalassotherapy pool: 90-degree salty water, high pressure downspouts on head/neck/shoulders, and bubbling chaise lounge racks. We've seen nothing like it on Princess, Royal, Holland, or Carnival.
No long waits for espresso at Cafe al Bacio, nor for great eggs benedict and omelets in the ...
The ship is starting to get old. Some of the chairs in the Oceanview Grill Buffet are worn and legs wobbly. Crews were varnishing wooden areas near the pool and stairways trying to keep the ship upgraded which was good. The staff onboard is fabulous. They just want you to be happy and enjoy yourself and try their best to make sure you do.
Entertainment in the Theatre is very good, but always ...
This was our 14th cruise. We have tried all the other main stream lines except Disney. We stayed in an inside cabin on the 11th deck. The average age of the passengers was about 60 years old and we were the young ones in our 40s.
Pros:
The food was excellent and there was plenty of variety.
The places we went to were beautiful and the weather was perfect.
Cons:
2 ½ hour wait to ...
My wife and I chose this cruise because some good friends were taking it and asked several other couples to join them - so we did! Altogether there were about 6 couples. The ports of call for this cruise were Santa Barbara, San Francisco (overnight), Monterrey, Avalon (Catalina Island) and Ensenada, MX. There were NO sea days, making this a bit of a different cruise.
We drove over from ...
Great knitting cruise! Older ship, but well maintained, I thought. It is, however, missing some of the things that the newer ships of the line have and unfortunately, I found the service in some areas lacking.
Our cabin was great. We lucked into upgrading to a Family Verandah cabin after final payment and really enjoyed the extra space and the enormous balcony. (An aside, I wish they had ...
We selected this for the itinerary. We especially wanted to get to San Francisco. Alcohol Note: You can purchase wine or spirits in Seattle and bring it on board. You do not have to submit to the ship's scanner. You will go through a customs scanner but they don't care that you have bottles (very strange).
The ship looks like it needs a make-over. However, the theatre, gym and dining room are ...
Wanting to stay stateside, this itinerary seems perfect. And it was! Infinity is an older ship, showing her age here and there, but she's well cared for and a nice size.
Pre-cruise hotel was the Doubletree San Pedro - free shuttle, right on a marina, great views and staff.
We were in Aqua for the first time and loved Blu. I understand it's not for everyone, but we loved the ...
From the ship to the entertainment to the service. Everything was well done, above and beyond my expectations. I also enjoyed my dining experience in Blu, the staff and service was excellent and so was the food. I only had one shore excursion with the ship to Cannon Beach and Seaside in Astoria which was nicely done and informative. The Infinity is a beautiful ship and the staff and crew couldn't ...
This was my second cruise overall and both on Celebrity. I am a solo traveler, and appreciated the many opportunities I had to meet a wide variety of people. I really liked the smaller configuration of the Infinity, and the layout of my cabin. I appreciated the ability to walk from the back to the front of the ship in the cabin aisle, allowing me to skip walking through the shops, casino and ...
