Adds up real fast.The ship is a Well maintained ship, the ship was Put into service in 2000, need some updating,the tile in the bath room floor is cracked and had a lot of caulk everywhere.the cabin needs ...
I chose this cruise for the Cruise Line, itinerary, perks, price. I loved that there was a naturalist on board that informed us daily at his seminars, but Celebrity should also narrate via TV and speaker system, as they do in Alaska, so that we can take advantage of our balcony. The Theater entertainment on board was outstanding, with each night even better than the last. The violinist was my ...
Going around the horn was a bucket list item. That box is now checked.
The ship itself is showing wear and tear -- nothing broken, but obvious use and lack of cosmetic maintenance.
The cabin showed similar wear -- a broken hinge here, lumpy well-worn mattress, towels that might once have been fluffy, scrathed woodwork. Again, nothing was really broken, but work is needed.
Dining was ...
We chose the cruise to be able to visit various ports in Chile, Argentina and Uruguay and see the very varied landscape of southern South America and view the abundant wild-life. We like the size of the Infinity and found it very comfortable. The Infinity does seem like it is due to be refurbished. Furniture, fixtures and linens were older and seemed worn and really need to be redone. Linens ...
I was a little apprehensive about this cruise as I had read some iffy reviews of the ship. The ship, it turned out, was amazing. In fact, we preferred it to the Equinox as the atmosphere was much friendlier. Embarkation and disembarkation were a breeze.
We had upgraded to Aqua Class and were not disappointed. The access to the Persian Garden was particularly welcome on this cruise as the ...
We wanted to cruise Cape Horn and see Valpairaiso, "Glacier Alley: with five smallish glaciers within an hour’s sailing: Italia, Hollandia, Allemagne, Romanche & Espana, etc. But everything went wrong and the trip with Celebrity wasn't at all what we had payed for and expected ! 1. Celebrity Infinity could not leave in Valparaiso but instead the ship was leaving in San Antonio. Because of this we ...
I do love every ship and Infinity is no different. Yeah she is a little bit older but that does not bother me. I like the movie area up on Deck 12 - although most of my cruise "Around the Horn" was too cold to enjoy it. I also love the sunset bar on Deck 10 aft. I was staying on Deck 11 and was able to take a stairwell right down to that bar.
Finally with the cruise I was on - I spent most ...
We chose this cruise because it started in one place and ended in a different place. We spent a week in Chile prior to embarkation, and had a wonderful experience there. We had never been to South America before and wanted to get to know it, at least in a small way. In all, we were pleasantly surprised.
Embarkation and disembarkation went very smoothly... no lines of any significance. ...
Wanted to visit Chile, Peru and Ecuador. Weather was perfect and the seas calm all the way.
Embarkation in Valparaiso was something! Remember embarkations like that YEARS and years ago! Happy it wasn't raining.
Capt. and bridge staff were friendly and were at many social functions.
Enjoyed Elite status - Celebrity is generous with their loyalty program and it was appreciated.

I booked this cruise because I was told that we would be going through the New Canal but we did not. I would not have gone because it was my third time through the Panama and one of the other times was on the Infinity also, the Blu restraunt is a very nice change from the large dining room, it is quieter and more relaxed service. We where in Aqua class cabin 9049 which has some noise issues no ...
