I would go again
June
Pros: Quiet, not overcrowded and not very many children
Cons: Only one pool, buffet was same things daily, not much activity.
Recommended: Yes
I loved the staff, how the ship didn’t seem crowded. The process of getting on and off at ports was always easy with no long waits. They did close the only pool they have one night for a private party which I thought wasn’t happy about since that’s part of what we pay for. The trellis restaurant was amazing! The buffet was always fresh but they serve mostly the same items daily. The ship was very clean!

Pros: Friendliness and professionalism of employees throughout the ship…constant smiles.
Cons: Hair dryer is what wound have been acceptable 25 years ago…terrible now.
Recommended: Yes
I appreciated the work the captain did to rearrange our ports once he realized how the weather would impact our cruise. I have taken several Viking River Cruises, but this was my first ocean cruise and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Excellent Service Staff
October
Pros: The service was good, the staff was wonderful, the ship was very clean
Cons: Excursions: too large groups, and we always felt rushed, no time to even take pictures
Recommended: Yes
The service was excellent, the states room very clean, the Spa was very enjoyable and relaxing, the entertainment was also very good. We did have to up date our drink package from classic to premium, which we feel was too costly and it still did not include all the drinks.

Old ship
September
Pros: Met the minimum requirements
Cons: Very dated ship, nothing outstanding, the staterooms needed updating in the worst way, everything was old and very dated.
Recommended: No
The bathroom needed new caulking as it was black and stained, the room interiors were very outdated, hardly any shopping onboard only two or three small shops. The personnel was great, very friendly, the food was very good.

Celebrity Infinity Retreat Suite Greek Islands
September
Pros: Food and service in Luminae, Drinks at Martini Bar, Butler service.
Cons: 20+ years old ship in needs of a major facelift, overpriced Retreat Suites, Lack of training in many of the bartenders.
Recommended: No
Celebrity Retreat Suite product very good on Beyond ship but almost non existant on Infinity due to the age of the boat which has not yet been refurbished to the Retreat standards but which is charging full Retreat prices...... After cruising with Celebrity for over 35 years I am very disappointed by the misleading marketing of an otherwise very well designed type of Suite class. Looking forward to compare the experience on the new Ascend.

Very large ship and a very nice cruise.
June
Pros: The staff was excellent and met our every need. Very courteous and friendly.
Cons: The free wi-fi was very poor unless you were in public areas.
Recommended: No
We had lovely weather while sailing which was wonderful. Cool, breezy and no rain the entire week. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the food was delicious. It would have been nice to have more help at guest relations during busy times because there was always a line. Better wi-fi would be nice, too.

Greek cruise
June
Pros:
Cons:
Recommended: Yes
The cabin was adequate, but the bathroom was not. The shower was tiny, as well as the entire bathroom space. The ship needs TLC. Torn carpets, rust all over the ship. The people that are in charge of the shore excursions on the ship don't really know anything about the ports. They couldn't answer any of our questions. The food was ok in the dining rooms, but the buffet lunch and dinners were bad. Two stops, one in Thesiliniki and the last in Hydra had very little to see. All the other ports were wonderful. There was lots of entertainment at all hours on the ship,

Antarctica on the Celebrity Infinity
January
Pros: Right ship size for the Drake Passage, good entertainment, wonderful crew, good food
Cons: Showing her age, no promenade deck,
Recommended: Yes
The captain participated in liars club game shows as a panelist with the cruise director and Naturalist. Amazing friendship between them. They made fun of each other and the others country, and I thought on any other ship, the Captain would have declared insubordination. It was fun and special to have the captain involved.

Excellent service, superb food, and charm
December
Pros: Food, service, more intimate experience, clean
Cons: Older ship
Recommended: Yes
Celebrity delivers again with its superb dining and overall service. The ship is older and could use some refurbishing, and we found the staterooms a bit tighter than the newer ships. But that did not deter from the overall experience, and the staterooms were kept very clean. The ship is also smaller, which has its downsides (you feel the chop a bit more than a bigger ship, and if the cruise is at full capacity, you have less options for privacy). Other the other hand, a smaller ship creates a more personable experience, which is felt in the outstanding service by the crew. The highlight was the dining experience. The Oceanview cafe, although serving the same selections daily, was absolutely fantastic quality. We did Aquaclass, so we had access to the Blu Restaurant—this was a highlight of the trip for us, and provided not only superb breakfast and dinner, but variety as well. The speciality restaurants were good, but not necessary because of the tremendous quality of Blu and the Oceanview Cafe. The biggest drawback for us was the entertainment. We did not find the shows and activities appealing. But we did enjoy going to the Spa (Persian Garden access via Aquaclass) and lounging around the various pool areas and terraces. As for the excursions, this is a personal choice for each cruiser and could make or break the experience. We booked the excursions early and had a fantastic experience. It added great color to the trip since going on excursions is the main reason for our travels. Overall, we would absolutely recommend the Infinity to family and friends.

November
Pros: Wonderful food, delightful staff, enjoyable itinerary
Cons: Fear of bad weather, which did not happen
Recommended: Yes
We were in the Aqua Class, which had small cabins, but access to the spa and a wonderful shower with 5 jets plus the overhead sprinkler. We had access to BLU restaurant, which was so good we went there every night. Our trip included wine, generously supplied by our sommelier

Fun memories on Infinity
October
Pros: Being with people that have fun together.
Cons: It was only a week long cruise
Recommended: Yes
The crew, from Captain on down, were visible, engaging and helpful. While the cabin was very nice it was showing a little age. The food selection was wide-ranged and there was always something that appealed to everyone in our group. The entertainment was the best I've seen this year; this being my 4 cruise in 2022 (but the only one on Celebrity this yr). Kudos Celebrity!!

Great Family Trip!
January
Pros: Value, experiences, time spent together
Cons: Didn't love Cozumel, but ended up at the beach and it was great.
Recommended: Yes
Wonderful trip to take our young adult kids on. They had a ball. It was so fun spending time with them laughing, sunning, touring and dancing. Great value and options. We didn't love Cozumel (had been there before), but it was one of the only ships that worked with our schedule. Celebrity was amazing to sail with. The service and attentiveness was top notch.

Lovely Time
December
Pros: Laid back vibe, Good food and drink
Cons: Departure was not good!
Recommended: Yes
I really enjoyed this cruise. It is a perfect short cruise for a laid back vacation. Both Cozumel and Key West are perfect places to enjoy outdoor sports, the beach, or a walk around town. This is not a shopping vacation. Both in town and on ship, things are expensive. Buying jewelry is always dicey when you are buying from an unknown source. If it’s a great deal, it probably isn’t! Get the drink package if you want to enjoy a variety of drinks without sticker shock at the end. If you want to tip on your own, make sure to see customer service about taking the automatic tip off. Both the bars and the spa add a tip, so don’t feel the need to tip again! Departure can be painful if you are traveling as a group or wait for a ride! Once you get to the luggage area, bathrooms are not plentiful or clean. Outside, sitting options are limited. There are masses of people standing around for rides. It is chaotic.

Nearly 30 Days of Cruising
October
Pros: Really enjoyed the educational offerings even though they were offered too early with one after the other leaving little time to get breakfast..e.g. 8:30, 9:30, 10:30. Why not spread them out a little throughout the day and begin a bit later for better attendance! The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The ship was very nice! We saw and did many, many great places that we never imagined visiting in our lifetimes!
Cons: We would have desired a Catholic priest be on board the entire cruise. The excursions were expensive
Recommended: Yes
Many times all excursions came in at the same time and had not eaten on their outing and the food services were all closed except salad and pizza! Staff know that after 4 - 6 hours of touring without opportunity to have lunch, people will head for food. but so many times it was closed down. Since we were on back to back tours, we had to change rooms mid-trip. This was a big inconvenience. During day of end of first half, we were "near" Rome, but NO EXCURSION available for those of us staying on board for continuing cruise. Finally they cobbled together an excursion to Tuscany. but would have preferred something into Rome!!! While the food was tasty, the selections were fussy....lots of kind of odd selections and ingredients.

We loved the cruise. Stateroom very comfortable and service from our housekeeper, Winnie and our butler were exemplary. We were sorry to miss Puntarenas. Our only negative comments would be directed to the boarding and disembarkation procedures (not aimed at the cruise line's performance).

Cruise to Alaska on Celebrity Infinity
August
Pros: Great food, entertainment and scenery
Cons: Days at sea, lack of wifi in ports
Recommended: Yes
This was our first cruise, and we loved the Celebrity dancers and singers! We were surprised at how professional they were. The food and restaurant service was also a nice surprise. We really enjoyed our waiter Shobith in the Trellis dining room. We particularly enjoyed the talks by Naturalist Milos. We found that the days at sea were a bit tedious, as we prefer to be exploring new locations rather than participating in on board activities. The opportunities for free wifi in the ports was very limited, which was frustrating.

Pros: Services, food, pools and teen club
Cons: Drink package, too many up sales

Great services, food and friendly staff. My kids love to hang out in the teen club. Love the pools, not crowded and nice design. Our waiter and assistant waiter at Trellis were very helpful. Wish there could be more variety of activities at night than just singing and dancing, like to see acrobats, Vegas shows, etc. Drink package was very confusing in terms of what were excluded and why were they being excluded.

Pros: Modern, comfortable, friendly, neat, intuitive layout.
Cons: Can’t think of any.
Recommended: Yes
We were a family of four on our first-ever cruise. Each family member had a full and rich experience. My wife was concerned about motion sickness but her worries proved unfounded. There were lots of enjoyable daily activities to pick from, ranging from athletic and leisurely to intellectually nourishing to flat out pampering. And of course the dining ... several great options and each finger-licking yum! We especially enjoyed talks by naturalist Milos Radakovich, who displayed great mastery in imparting valuable knowledge with flair and entertainment. Having a personal butler assigned to our suite was a huge plus. We were thoroughly spoilt! On top of that the shore stopovers were well chosen, neatly planned, and efficiently managed. Staff in the ship at all times were unfailingly courteous and helpful. Encounters with individual waiters like Elena in Sushi on Five left an impact. The best part was that all this wonderful experience was enjoyed by the whole family. We were in close proximity to each other yet each of us processed the cruise in their unique way and to their personal satisfaction. We really did not know what to expect from this holiday or how it would turn out. Our expectations were definitely exceeded.

Fabulous Alaska Cruise
July
Pros: The food was exceptional. The staff was so friendly and made sure we were happy with everything.
Cons: None
Recommended: Yes
This was our first cruise and we are so glad we decided on Celebrity. The food was fantastic. The service could not have been better. Our steward, Singh, was so nice and was always available for any question, and request. He was so knowledgeable about everything. Our cabin was spotless each day and we had hors d'oeuvres delivered every afternoon...he was really exceptional. Everyone working at the buffet each day was so friendly and the food choices were outstanding. The Trellis Restaurant was very nice and we had wonderful meals and Budi was our favorite server there. We ate at Sushi on Five, and had great sushi there 2 nights...our favorite server was Alena and she made some great suggestions helping us to order and remembered us when we returned. Had a wonderful steak at The Tuscan. And, the most fascinating dinner at La Petit Chef...we went twice. It was so unique and we laughed and had such a good time there..and the food was great: each course was so good, especially the lobster and dessert! We videoed each course and have watched it many times and showed to friends. Our concierge Joao was the best...he helped us with excursions and reservations and changes when necessary. And Alaska was so beautiful..the highlight being the whales...WOW!! Saw so many. The glaciers were breathtaking...so many great pictures. Loved the cruise.

Pacific Coast repositioning cruise was calm and uneventful
September
Pros: cruise (mostly) had a port day every day, shows good, dining good, cabin service awesome
Cons: screwy layout for buffet dining - lots of holes. lunch was limited. Room service omelets not-so-tasty.
Recommended: Yes
Really had a nice cruise. the ship was fairly new looking and clean, smaller than mega ships, so less far to walk to/fro, entertainment really good - singer, 3 production shows, aerialists, magician. Disappointed that comedian was late night - shd've been a normal show. Dining was good - needed a fruit appetizer choice - only one night that had one. Steaks were good, tender. Veal Cordon Bleu didn't have cheese - what gives with that? Ports were fun, and even though we had an excursion cancel at last minute, and therefore had to wing it in two ports, easy enough to figure out something to do ashore, which we did. Tenders ran smoothly in the two ports that had them. Best part of the trip was that the folks who served were without exception pleasant and helpful - seemed like they enjoyed their jobs - you be friendly to them, they responded in kind.

September
Pros: Ships crew and great food
Cons: Ships is showing her age
Recommended: Yes
Very friendly crew. Every crew member we encountered acknowledged us and were very courteous. Our cabin steward was excellent and exceeded our expectations. Our cabin had some minor issues with loose door hinges that should be looked at. Bathroom small but very efficient. Good size shower. Dining room staff were attentive and made good recommendations as to what was best to have on the menu each night. The buffet food was plentiful and of good quality. Top notch entertainment throughout the ship all day. All facilities were always clean and pretty well maintained. We had one elevator on one day that kept us in the twilight zone by bypassing our deck whether going up or down. Was fixed by the next day. Lot of places to have a quiet sit and relax or read if you wished. We would rate this our best cruise line of the 3 we have sailed on. We sailed with Holland America and Norwegian before this cruise.

An amazing cruise; the best scenery and unbelievable staff.
August
Pros: The staff on the Infinity was unbelievable. Service and food is second to none. The cruise itself was beyond our wildest expectations!
Cons: The ship itself is showing it's age and could use updating.
Recommended: Yes
I would recommend this cruise to anyone who likes to be pampered and enjoys scenery. The age of most passengers would be in the 40s to 70s so if someone is looking for the party scene, this cruise is not for you. It is about relaxation and scenery. If you want the party scene, try another cruise. Our daughter and son-in-law were married on the cruise and the wedding was absolutely beautiful. The staff went above and beyond to make the day extra special for them and our family.

Excellent Cruise
February
Pros: Great Itinerary, excellent ship. Great food in main dining room and very good entertainment
Cons: Embarkation process awful. Buffet food just OK. Tendering delays excessive
Recommended: Yes
Staff were friendly and efficient. While Celebrity did a pretty good job overall, I would not choose any itinerary that had more than one port requiring a tender to get to shore. NCL and Oceania have a much better embarkation process. Does it really have to take 1.5 hrs to get aboard ?

Panama Canal Cruise
October
Pros: Dinning in Blu, Quality and variety of theater entertainment, going through the canal
Cons: Overhang on Deck 9 balcony- disappointment; blocke sun and views. Not enough tenders for Cabo
Recommended: Yes
Ports not that great - hot and humid. Cruise excursion in CR very depressing going through the slums. Outside of that great getaway to relax, be pampered and met great people.

Cruise Experience
October
Pros: Very friendly crew, Beverage package ideal, Catholic services available thanks to a Deacon on board
Cons: Entertainment was enjoyable, but production not as great as other cruise lines
Recommended: Yes
We chose Selective Dining, but the first evening we were told that all spaces were full and we would have to wait until a table was available. We were not allowed to request a specific time to dine.

Purchasing Aqua Class was not worth the money
September
Pros: Best way to see Alaska is via cruise!
Cons: Food and Communication
Recommended: Yes
By Far, the best way to see the towns of Alaska is by cruising! Each port was amazing!!! The Captain did an awesome job at getting us close to the Glacier and it was breath taking! We purchased the Aqua Class and I was extremely disappointed to see that we didn't get any special treatment. We received a bottle of champagne in our room as we departed. The special dining room was OK at best. The food overall was a huge let down. I think if we didn't spend the extra money on the Aqua Class, I wouldn't have rated this so low. My expectations for what I paid didn't align. It was hard to find staff members that could tell us where to meet our tours, what time do we get to leave, and what time to return to the ship. The ship could use an update, but the quality of the food is what I struggled with the most.

Celebrity in Rio de Janiero
February
Pros: Great itinerary! Better than average dinning.
Cons: Some of parties were too scripted. No opportunity to request a song.
Recommended: Yes
First time on Celebrity cruise line and I am truely impressed on how great passengers were treated aboard the ship. The daily activities are typical for a cruise ship what's different is the enthusiasm of the staff. Best food ever! Hot, delicious, interesting options, and served with a smile.

Not up to prior Celebrity sailings
December
Pros: Public staff friendly, clean in all areas, ship departures held for late tour returns
Cons: Prices raised, deferred maintenance, menu downgraded, shows loud
Recommended: No
Public staff was friendly and anxious to satisfy. All facilities were under quick clean up at all times. Prices for drinks, wine, cola have been substantially raised. Deferred maintenance was recurring elevator problems, light bulbs not replaced & worn chairs. Menu in main dining room limited in selections available, repeatedly serving same vegetables (felt we had leftovers offered as one or more of the selections each night). Premium dinner rooms were not worth the extra charges. Theater shows were mostly musical and mikes were turned up to ear splitting level. Cruise Director staff was non-responsive.

November
Pros: Good weather, didn't get sick
Cons: Tours too expensive
Recommended: Yes
Huge changes in Canal since we saw it last in 1996, and more changes coming with the expansion going on. At our age (86) we didn't participate in any of the daily activities, except art auctions. We played cards, but had difficulty finding a table large enough to play on. They were always taken by other people.

Panama Delight
December
Pros: Lovely ship, great service, food was good, loved Bistro on 5 and Tuscan Grille
Cons: The ship arrived in port with Norovirus; continued throughout the cruise though we had no problems. We were extremely careful with washing our hands and gratefully accepting the hand sanitizers offered every time we turned around!
Recommended: Yes
We are Elite Captain's Club members and thoroughly enjoyed the benefits thereof. Would be very much disappointed if the 123 Go program was discontinued --- that is a great incentive to keep cruising with Celebrity.

Wonderful experience
November
Pros: The pre-canal talks and the narration while going through the Panama Canal made the trip outstanding!
Cons: We thought we had prepared to have our guide dog (visually impaired spouse) leave the ship at all ports; were not able to go ashore in Columbia or Panama.
Recommended: Yes
After three vet visits and lots of paperwork preparation, we were told we could not leave the ship in either Panama or Columbia and could not leave the guide dog unaccompanied in our cabin. We were able to cancel planned excursions without penalties, but were still disappointed. We haven't figured out where we went wrong...

Panama Canal Cruise 2015
September
Pros: Staff, entertainment, food, tours
Cons:
Recommended: Yes
This was the best cruise ever. We had outstanding everything, from the first moment we arrived at the ship until we were in our cab and driving away going to the airport and back home. The staff was always ready to help. The dining room waiters were extremely attentive, the cruise director was positive-fun-full of energy. The entertainment was amazing - 17 shows, 17 standing ovations. Food was delicious. The tours were great. We almost didn't want to come back home. Absolutely fantastic trip.

We have traveled on several other cruise lines NCL, HA, Carnival, Windjammer, and though that Celebrity was a 'notch up' . In general it was comparable, and in some ways less so. Other ships utilize the dining room staff to at least one night do some entertaining, Celebrity, not so. Other ships have live music in the dining room, Celebrity Not so. The ship was clean and the staff excellent and always friendly and helpful,

Review of Celebrity Infinity Alaska Cruise
May
Pros: Staff was professional and service was good. Excellent meal in the S.S. United States restaurant.
Cons: Had to wait in line each night for a table. No books in the library. Also, see below:
Recommended: Yes
One very disappointing situation--upon leaving port my husband and I liked to go to the Constellation Lounge in the front of the ship to have a drink as we observed the beautiful scenery. On 3 of the 5 port departures, we and other passengers were told we had to leave the lounge (with the best views) as a private party would be using this venue. The private party was for the "elite" passengers. We did not like being treated as second class citizens, and other passengers were quite angry also as they were denied access to this public area. If a party was planned for these passengers, it should not have been in this particular lounge, which should have been available for all passengers.

Great Ship, Great Crew, Great Weather, Great Itinerary
June
Pros: The itinerary, the crew, some good tours
Cons: The port information provided by Guest Relations needs to be updated. Notified Guest Relations. OceanView normally too crowded to enjoy. Go off hours. Ports are very expensive.
Recommended: Yes
We sailed the Norwegian fjords and Iceland including the Faroe Islands and Shetlands Islands. The weather could not have been better (except Bergen - thunder storms!) The crew was wonderful - very welcoming. Made every effort to meet and exceed expectations. If you like big cities, this is NOT the cruise for you! The itinerary was small towns and nature - very peaceful. It was great for wandering through streets, checking out the shops and talking to the locals about their wonderful cities. Some people were bored due to the lack of big city excitement. A vacation is what YOU make it. I always spoke with the tourist office and the locals for suggestions. The Golden Circle tour was great, as was the Highlights of Geiranger (plenty of photo stops) and the Shetland ponies (loved being petted)! Went to the Stave church in Bergen on my own and enjoyed it. It is easy to access via the light rail and a short walk. Didn't go to any shows so am rating entertainment a 3. Iceland and Norway are very expensive.
