Celebrity Infinity Review
Rating by category
Additional details
The "cruise" was just great. Itinerary, pacing, ports - and weather [WOW!]. Fellow cruisers were a delight, including those we met via the CC Roll Call. But the "onboard experience" on Infinity was just OK. Spouse and I had sailed on Galaxy years ago and wanted to try Celebrity again. We agree that Celebrity just isn't us. And that Celebrity isn't what it thinks it is - at least as we see it. We don't see it as an upscale step from Royal Caribbean, its corporate partner. That doesn't mean that we didn't enjoy the whole experience - only that if we were to do it again, we would look for the exact same itinerary, but on a different ship and different line. Read on to understand why.
EMBARKATION/DISEMBARKATION
Embarkation was absolutely easy & no problems. We are Celebrity Select based on our Royal Caribbean cruises. Walked up to agent, she was a delight, 15 minutes later we were in the cabin, then off to the buffet. Luggage arrived mid-afternoon. Getting to Harwich from Heathrow was a drag.
Cabin Review
Great location. A bit small compared to my recollection of RCI and Princess, but maybe just different. Comfortable bedding. Nice balcony. Quiet [though I realize thanks to the neighbors are in order]. Decent bathroom size and nice shower. But cabin and bathroom storage was not convenient. No desk drawer. Two small corner shelves in bathroom, all other bathroom storage under counter.
