We selected this cruise based on the itinerary and the cruise line. What really made this cruise stand out was the Celebrity Life Enrichment Series, Beyond The Podium. All the speakers were outstanding! Last year we took a Panama Canal Cruise on Holland America going from South to North and sadly neither my husband or I were able to understand the Naturalist who interrupted the transit. That was very disappointing. This year on Celebrity Infinitely, Bill Fall, who was a Canal brat, was beyond excellent. Since he is also a retired teacher, he was able to lecture and interrupt in an entertaining way. He had several lectures prior to the transit and on the day of our transit, he lectured on and off from 6:30am to 5:30pm! We would highly recommend this cruise solely based on this!!
I am vegan and there were really very few options for me. The staff went out of their way to try to accommodate my diet but since we are doing a B2B cruise, I'm already pretty tired of baked potatoes, and pretty run of the mill fresh veggies. Celebrity has many vegetarian options but most are loaded with milk and cheese so I can't eat them.
This was the last balcony cabin left and we took it with the understanding if someone handicapped needed it we would gladly move. The cabin was large...as big as the small suites. The ship is old and shows a bit of wear and tear.
