I think the other reviews have pretty much said it all. The ship is older and is starting to show its age. As one walks through the ship one can hear creaking and groaning of the ship, in addition during the last part of the cruise the door of our cabin started creaking. It became quite annoying, much like a dripping faucet would annoy a person. It is really in need of a major over haul, but I doubt if Celebrity will spend the money to bring it back up to its former glory.
The cruise was through the Panama Canal and it was an amazing cruise. If I were to rate the cruise and not the ship I would give it a 5, but when you add the ship in it brings it down to a 3. We met many first time Celebrity cruisers and the majority of them were disappointed with the ship and said " no more Celebrity cruises". Here is the bottom line on the ship and the Panama Canal cruise. If you have read the reviews regarding the Infinity and the condition of the ship and are not expecting a ship that is crisp and new and are looking forward to going through the canal and spending time in the ports of call, then I think you will have a great time and will enjoy the cruise. They are expanding the canal to allow larger ships through, with completion of the project scheduled for sometime in 2017. Then maybe the larger newer Celebrity ships will be making this cruise, until then it is the Infinity. Knowing what we know now regarding the ship, if we had it to do over again we would still go on the cruise.
We were in Aqua class and ate in breakfast and dinner in BLU most of the time. The food was pretty good but not outstanding. It seemed like toward the end of the cruise the quality of the food went down hill in both BLU and the buffet, I might also add the food in the buffet did not seem as good as the food in the buffets on other Celebrity ships we have cruised on. The staff in Blu and the main dining room where we ate lunch were exceptional. They were friendly and bent over backwards to meet your needs. I would give them all a 5.
Cabin Review
Aqua Class
Cabin A2
Our cabin was just ok. We kind of expected a little bit nicer cabin in Aqua class, but it was adequate. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of closet and drawer space. The veranda was not as large as verandas on other Celebrity ships we have been on, but once again it was adequate. Now here is our big beef regarding our cabin and it has to do with items in the cabin and not the cabin itself. The bath robes provided were worn out. They had holes in them. We woke up one morning to find our bottom sheet had ripped and upon checking it out found it was pretty thread bare. The floor mats provided in the bathroom were unraveling. We paid extra to be in Aqua class and expected a better experience in our room than we received. In addition toward the end of the cruise the door of our room started creaking and became quite annoying, much like a dripping faucet.
Port Reviews
Puerto Vallarta
Did not take any excursions in Puerto Vallarta. We did get off the ship and shop at several stalls local venders set up near the ship.
Colon (Cristobal)
We did some shopping the the small area of shops near the ship. Kind of seedy and run down.
