We chose this cruise because of the itinerary, now having visited all seven continents. We are glad we did it. The ports and scenic cruising were outstanding and memorable but Celebrity Infinity disappointed us in so many ways that we are reconsidering taking any future cruises on them. At the very least we’ll never again pay extra for Aqua Class which we very much enjoyed and felt was a good ...
Antarctica was a dream of mine, but I wish I had booked with another company. Celebrity knew we were 3 adults and they intended to put me on a sofa for a small child. I couldn't sleep the first night. Guest Relations said they couldn't fix it that night and nobody apologized for the awful night I spent. The next morning I stayed in Guest Relations and didn't move for two hours until they told me ...
We chose this cruise for the ship and the itinerary. Going into we knew she was old, however five months prior we were on the Infinity for a seven days cruise. It was excellent. So we went into it with all positives. Mistake. From no varletry in food nor wine to short staff.
Note this was the first ship we used in 2004 with Celebrity. The food and service then was excellent. After 19 years my ...
This was our third cruise with Celebrity in the Galapagos, the first time on the Flora. The ship was beautiful, with very functional rooms with plenty of storage. Food was excellent! That is something we rarely say about food on cruise ships. Our chef was Spanish. He served a variety of food each day at the lunch buffet. Each day had a different theme. The crew was very friendly and helpful. The ...
We picked the Xploration as we believed (and still believe) for Galapagos a small ship and a small group of people gives the better experience. The expeditions were great! The naturalist guiding the tours were fabulous, we have seen very much wildlife and they managed to bring us ashore at times where other groups were not yet there. Also all the staff operating the zodiac-boats were very helpful ...
This was a fantastic itinerary. antarctica. warning it is a bunch of sea days. even for us. glad we did not do the adventure ships. they really got clobbered by weather. it was cold and windy. and being on a big ship was perfect. we had a veranda. a must for this. of the four trips celebrity made to antarctica in 2023 we had the all time best trip. drake was like glass. no clouds. ...
This was our first celebrity cruise and we choose this ship because of the ports of call and length of scenic cruising. The ports of call were good and we hit every port with mostly good weather. Our scenic cruising was equally as good with weather and ample time in paradise bay etc. We were able to sail around Cape horn in gorgeous sunlight. Falklands islands was beautiful etc. However for ...
My husband and I booked our first cruise with Celebrity because of the nice round-trip itinerary from Buenos Aires, most especially the scenic cruising in Antarctica. We did a South American cruise on Princess ten years ago in 2013, without Antarctica, when we also missed the Falkland Islands. We both have Elite status with Princess so that is our primary frame of reference, although our very ...
First off, let me say I am a somewhat experienced cruiser who has been sailing since 1998 on various cruise lines( 25 total trips), including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, MSC and Celebrity. I have sailed 5 times with Celebrity, and have 4 more trips booked at the moment.
The Infinity was in the poorest condition of any CCL ship I have sailed on. This ship really shows her age. Rust ...
We chose this cruise as an expensive trip of a lifetime. It turned into a nightmare. The cabin was sweltering the entire cruise. The engineer came on day 1 and recognized there was little air coming through the vents. A half an hour later, he sent up a big fan the blew air over ice cubes. The first night, they set it wrong so it beeped over 30 seconds. The room remained so hot that it was not ...
