We are first time cruisers and choose this ship because of the recommendation of the travel agent. They waxed poetic about the food, service, accommodations and general level of service.
While, we liked the cruise in general, we were very disappointed in the quality of the food.
The infinity is 8 years old and to the best of our knowledge has not had a refit. We saw some reviews that downgraded the interior of the ship, but we found that the interior passenger areas were well maintained, clean and in good repair. There were always staff polishing, waxing, vacuuming and in general doing an excellent job of keeping the ship looking well.
Location was level 3 (Plaza Deck). Nice view, quiet and as good as many of those on higher decks.
