Celebrity Infinity 10-night Alaska Cruise R/T Seattle Sept 16 - Sept 26, 2011
We were not originally going on this cruise. We have been to Alaska twice; the last time in July 2009. I chose this cruise for our friends who were first timers to Alaska and to cruising. The time matched their vacation time. Since it was a good deal and there is so much to do and see in Alaska, we booked, ...
Our cruise was Sept. 9th, the last of the 7 night cruises for the season. We spent Thurs. night with my brother and took the Bainbridge Island ferry over to Seattle and it took us right along side our ship. That really helped to ratchet up the excitement. With Concierge class we got our own check-in line and there was no one ahead of us. From the time we got our luggage out of my brother's car, we ...
I am a single woman in my mid 60's. This was my second cruise. I had previously traveled alone on a Royal Caribbean Mediterranean cruise to the Mediterranean.
I had high expectations for this trip which is something I had wanted to do for a long time. Alaska has always intrigued me.
Unfortunately, travel to our port of embarkation, Seattle, from Southern New Jersey was not well organized ...
Boarding in Seattle proved simple and took only an hour of waiting. Room keycard delivered without a map of the ship. Departed on time and baggage available at room by late afternoon.
9th deck inside cabin no adjacent to any noise sources (housekeeping room was a few doors down and neighbors said some early morning noises bothered them). Twin beds were placed together but moved apart a few hours ...
We are seasoned cruisers in our 50's and have sailed on the Celebrity Infinity once before up to Alaska. We absolutely loved that last trip to Alaska so decided it was time to cruise up there again for our 5th time. We booked early and got an excellent deal on the cruise and picked our inside stateroom hoping to upgrade to a balcony if / when the prices came down. They never did and we were a bit ...
Married couple with two kids (ages 4 and 8) made the Alaska trek and it was simply majestic. Everyone had an unbelievably good time, despite being hit with the Norwalk Virus.
Started the trip with a two-day stay in Seattle at the very location-friendly Sheraton. We thoroughly enjoyed all the touristy stops - Pike's Market, lunch at the Space Needle, and a half-day visit to the Science ...
We travelled August 12 to Alaska on the Infinity. My mom and pre-teen son were in one cabin and my husband and I were in the other. We were on the 2nd deck with a nice big ocean view window. This was my third cruise and my second to Alaska and was by far my favorite ship. I loved everything about this ship. The crew and staff were amazing, the layout of the ship was convenient and comfortable. I ...
We heard Celebrity was supposed to be a step up from Royal Caribbean. Don't believe it. It's a nice cruise...just not excellent. We cruised to Alaska on the Celebrity Infinity beginning August 5, 2011 for a week.
Check in: The check-in process was so disorganized. There was only one place, with no line really, to drop off your luggage. After that mess, people waited in another line to check ...
This was our third cruise. Our previous 2 cruises were with Royal Caribbean and we enjoyed them. We thought we were taking a step up with Celebrity, but everything was identical to the Royal Caribbean experience, down to the smallest detail. They have a solid formula. Checkin was well-run with many supporting staff at the pier. We boarded the ship to complimentary champagne. Within an hour we were ...
My husband and I are first-time cruisers (both 50 yrs. old) and we cruised with my 70-year-old parents who had been on 3 other cruises years ago. I spent hours on this board reading reviews to select our cruise so I think I should contribute as well.
I realized while talking to fellow cruisers towards the end of the cruise you can never please everyone. While we thought the dining room ...
