Ship is older but clean and in good working order. It’s an older ship and smaller than some of the newer ones but easy to navigate. Staff is pretty good for the most part. Our room steward and our dining room staff were great. The others were OK except for the bar staff. In general the bars and bar staff are the weakest. Food is actually pretty good. We have been on more than a handful of ...
Overall, we had a nice vacation and trip on the Celebrity Infinity. This ship is definitely older and a pretty standard, mid sized cruise ship. Do not expect any special bells or whistles on this ship. I would like to point out a few things to be aware of:
1. Age of Ship: I have seen some note that the ship was recently refurbished, but if it did, I did not see it. There was lots of visible ...
We chose this cruise due to all the Greek ports that we wanted to visit.
Embarkation was ok, miss the medallion of princess.
Food is not the greatest. The aqua and retreat guest get a much better menu. Menu in the main dining room is less than 2 stars. Fish includes Cajun Spiced Drum, Tilapia of which is mostly farmed and you don’t want to know what they feed farmed raised Tilapia. As I ...
This was our first Celebrity cruise and was chosen to accommodate other companions’ time issues and by virtue of an interesting itinerary.
First some good things: Main dining dinners were all good and service there was good. Vast majority of staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our party included one six-year-old and the ship had a great “camp at sea” program run by an exceptional crew ...
We enjoyed this as a family but helped to have adjoining room for two teens. We had inside state rooms but next time would choose a balcony for after excursion. Not all ports all day so that was a bummer and limited on what you can do at port. Space inside cabin ok but small. Kids thought pool too small for amount of people. Did not use pool in solarium because way too hot overall. Gym ok ...
The good points:
1 Comfortable bed.
2 Most staff were friendly and helpful.
3 Ship docked on time at all ports of call.
4 We liked Cafe al Bacio very much.
The not good points
1 The internet was constantly intermittent - it kept disconnecting.
2 Except for the solo guitarist and the strings duo the entertainment was not what we wanted. The so-called 'resident DJ' played ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and the reputation of Celebrity. We arrived in Athens two days early, which was fortunate because our luggage didn’t show up for two days. Boarding was easy and efficient. We had arrived early at the port because that was when we were dropped off, but that did not present a problem. We left our bags (inside stateroom) and met our room steward, Roselle. ...
We chose this cruise, knowing Celebrity from previous cruises and because of the itinerary . It was not Celebrity at its best, but close behind.
Highlights were Kusadasi (Efesos) and Hydra. Low were Santorini. You have one low capacity cablecar to get up /down to/from the town. With 3 cruise ships at the same time it resulted in long waiting times, up to 3 hours.
The ship could do with a ...
We decided post pandemic to get cruising again, and a 7 Night adventure in the Adriatic and Greek Islands sounded fine for us. It was over 15 years ago since we had sailed with Celebrity ( to the Carribean ), so we booked through IGLU travel, and their sevice has been fantastic. Firstly, all the planning by them has gone like a dream. We got a deal on Aqua Class and an all inclusive standard ...
The servers at dinner were very accommodating. The bartenders mostly made you wait unless you had money in hand it to show you were tipping. The dining room food was good and the servers especially Prosecco our waiter in the Trellis dining room.
Warning to all passengers!!!! Don’t eat any sushi or lobster soup! I along with other guests got food poisoning on lobster soup in the Sushie ...
