for the Panama Canel, food was below standard the meals in the dining room were good and bad, the meals repeated themselves, we were served pork that was not eatable , I was served fish that was way overcooked, were served rolls that were very stale, most of the deserts were very good, the cabin and cabin steward was above standard never had to ask for anything including ice! Ship is old and had ...
Boarding: San Francisco's cruise port area is quite congested and one needs to allow extra time for arrival. The main boulevard is blocked with traffic on cruise days, and the only public transport from the airport subway ("BART") is serviced by historic trolleys that require hauling your luggage up and down steps, AND the trolleys are crammed with riders. The subcontractor that handles check-in ...
My heart sank when we stepped on board. A tired ship with no wow factor atrium or even aged splendour, just worn out. The only plush place was the casino & I didn't wish to spend any time in there!
Cabin was not overly clean and staff generally seemed very down and demoralised. No sail aways, which is a shame as you do start a holiday full of expectation and it was all low key. We had a ...
Generally the cruise was nice, the ports were great
We had a Concierge class stateroom 9201. I would not book Concierge class again as i don't believe that the extra money paid is value for money. They advertise fresh flowers....we never got them. They advertise use of Binoculars, no use if they are broken ( and then the replacements were also broken. They advertise a pillow menu, but the cabin ...
My husband & I began cruising two to three times a year for about the last 5 years. This was our first Celebrity cruise and we were less than impressed.
To begin, the new port terminal in San Francisco was very nice, and drop off much simpler than getting off on a busy street outside the aging terminal down the street. But the wait was the longest of any cruise yet. We were in line for what ...
Embarkation - Embarkation was delayed due to port issues, a CDC inspection and "deep cleaning." The test of a process is how things are done when something goes wrong. In this case, Celebrity gets a minus in dealing with the issues. There were lines everywhere, inside and out of the terminal and there was little communication or assistance to those in line - particularly, for handicapped or ...
This was our 12th cruise and our second cruise on Celebrity. It was a 11 night Alaska cruise originating in San Francisco and ending in Vancouver. Embarkation was complete chaos which I attributed to the fact that San Francisco isn't a normal point of embarkation for Celebrity and they had to set up temporary check-in desks. Nobody seemed to know what was going on or where people should go to ...
Before you begin to read this review I want to warn you that it is not very complimentary. Those of a nervous disposition or planning on sailing aboard Infinity soon may want to give it a miss.
As usual my Mum was my travelling companion. We have taken 6 cruises before, all with RCI and on various ships. We have sailed The Med, The Baltics, Hawaii and 3 times to the Caribbean. This was our first ...
We sailed from San Francisco on the Infinity April 17, 2006. From the beginning, we had problems. The information received from both the cruise line and our travel agent stated that embarkation started at 5:30pm for the 8:00pm sailing. This was confusing since it seemed to conflict with scheduled dining times, but Celebrity customer service representatives insisted the 5:30pm embarkation start ...
