Overall we enjoyed this cruise. Fabulous scenery, food, staff and entertainment. The fiords were great. We were able to check off 3 of 4 major travel goals. 1 - Round the Horn - check, 2 - see a penguin in its native territory - check, 3 - visit Ushuaia but bad weather prevented this and 4 - experience the Chilean fjords - check. Mickey Live's talks were a great addition to the whole experience. He was able to describe many of the sites as we were seeing them. Loved his Snapshot Rally.

Food and drink were up to our expectations and Trellis and cafe dining were great, no issues. We were travelling Aqua Class but decided to dine in the evening in regular dining with close friends who were not qualified. Therefore we are not able to say much about the dinner experience in Blu but breakfasts in Blu were good and we enjoyed the more private atmosphere for starting the day.

Now for the tough part. Infinity was definitely suffering from some propulsion balancing issues that made life in many cabins on the 11th deck in the very rear intolerable on many occasions. We are not talking about stern shudder, or rock and roll. The vibration was similar to what you would feel when driving a car with badly balanced wheels except scaled up to large ship size and often continued for hours. It would only happen at certain ship speeds. The crew are limited in what they can say, so the pat answer was to blame the issue on current sea conditions. However, the seas were quiet through many of the events. Obviously they can't have the passengers thinking that the ship was having technical issues. I've had enough sea experience to know the difference. Thanks to Miguel who did everything he possibly could to help us deal with these events. I can only imagine how frustrated the Captain and engine crew must be when having to deal with something like this while also having to keep to a very tight navigation time schedule. Future travels for us will be mid-ship forward or no ship. Thanks to the crew for doing their best.
