We took the May 8  May 20, 2006 Alaska cruise on the Infinity and had a wonderful time, and will recommend it to family and friends. We have sailed on many ships and many lines, and feel that Celebrity is a good product for the cost. Here our some specifics:

Embarkation  We embarked in San Francisco. This is a special treat for us, because we live in Sacramento, and can take an Amtrak train and bus connector right to Pier 39, and simply roll our luggage to the ship. It is wonderful not to have to fly anywhere, or to worry about the excess weight of our luggage. Our embarkation process was efficient and quick, as good as some luxury cruise lines we have used. The Infinity staff allowed us to board the ship early, and have lunch in the buffet. Our stateroom was ready by 1:00 PM, and our luggage arrived about two hours after that, so we could unpack before we sailed. The Infinity dEcor is contemporary, which made it a bit unique, and we especially enjoyed the mid-ship glass elevators.

Cabin and Steward - We were on Deck 7 as forward as you could get, in a category 4 stateroom. If you suffer from seasickness, this is not the location for you, as we really rocked and rolled our way out of San Francisco  something we really enjoyed, but it is not for everyone. Also, in ports where we tendered in, the noise of the anchor being dropped was very loud  a fun alarm clock for us, but very annoying for others. The linens and towels were average, and the bedspread rather worn out, but we were told that the Infinity is going to be updating them all soon. Our room steward was outstanding. We never ran out of any linens or soap in the bathroom, our ice bucket was always full, he and his assistant were the consume professionals. They always greeted us with a smile and friendly conversation. Read more
