Big Takeaways for this vacation (Some very specific because of destination and ports)
1. Use the Celebrity excursions, and book them BEFORE boarding and get to the Celebrity theater early to get on yours. My friend got to a theater for a 915 departure tour and by 910 the tour was already gone. He ran to the pier, but ship was already full and was told tour was oversold by a seat. Many other tours were sold out well before boarding. Luckily the concierge Javier, was telling people at arrivals to sign up for tours immediately after boarding, this really helped a friend of mine, who hadn’t pre booked.
2. Don’t wear expensive jewelry or watches while sightseeing in Buenos Aries, keep cash and expensive cameras out of sight as much as possible. Quite the band of pickpockets both walking and on motorcyles, and they work as a team (one or more distracts, while other grabs).
I selected a CC2 this trip, and pleased in every regard. Although Infinity is 17 years old it’s a well maintained vessel. The furnishing in the room were well maintained and even on a detailed inspection of the caulking in the bathroom, it looked exceptional. Plenty of hot water and water pressure throughout the whole voyage. Drapes linens, towels, etc all in good shape. Had an extraordinary stateroom attendant named Budi, who was a smiling friendly hard working man who met my every wish before I could even ask him. Loved my daily canapes.
