	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside Just a well balancec vacation by Vincent D from Richmond, VA Sailing date: Nov 2012 Pros: Mixture of relaxation, entertainment and education Cons: Evening buffet always routine A very good ship with a lot of actvities and features. The trip was a great mixture of relaxation, entertain and education. Ship Details: Ship Quality Ship was very well kept. There was some maintenance going on while we were onboard, but nothing that got in the way. A very nice design. Dining/Food Very good. A lot of options for dining. The specialty resturants were execellent, especially Qsine. Would like to see more options for the evening buffet. Many times we did not have time for formal dinner and buffet offered the same food every night. Stateroom Quality It was small, but we purchased an inside room, so it was nothing unexpected. It was well kept. It was in a very convenient location to getting around the ship. Though other recommendations warned us about noice in this location, it was very quite. Also, very dark being an inside room and conducive to sleeping. If you want sunshine in the morning, this is not your room. Ship Staff Quality The working staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. I had some small special requests and they went out of their way to help. The entertainment staff was nice, but some were not very social in one-on-one encounters. They seem to have a stage personality, but a different social personality. I felt like I was annoyging them to carry on a conversation. Not a big issue. Entertainment & Activities Excellent. They had a great variety for everyone. There shows at night were a mixture of singing, dancing, comedy and other unique entertainment. Throughout the trip they had speakers the educated on area we were travelling and other subjects. This was their strength. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview we loved it by Muriel M from Oregon Sailing date: Nov 2012 Pros: lectures, food,service Cons: cost of excursions This was our first ever cruise and we loved it. Ship Details: Ship Quality We were concerned it was too big at first glance, but one can find quiet places if need be Dining/Food we were scheduled for the 8:30pm dinner, too late for us, so we only went once and it was delicious but the rest of the cruise we ate at the grill (great fish) Stateroom Quality seeing the ocean from the bed on moonlit nights was lovely Ship Staff Quality delightful staff Entertainment & Activities we would have like to tour the kitchen but it was offered during excursion times which made it difficult. The live music was excellent and the lectures really interesting 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Suite Infinity Alaska Cruise by A Traveler from Oregon Sailing date: Jul 2012 Pros: Variety and wide range of choices of cruise features Cons: Lack of detailed Information provided about excursions and options. Hawking of cheap jewelery The overall cruise was excellent. Very good service mentality as well as variety of choice of onboard activities and food services. Lack of detailed Information provided about excursions and options along with some of the fine print details of packages was frustrating at times.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview What a waste by A Traveler from El Paso, TX Sailing date: Jun 2012 Pros: The Staff Cons: The Food I thought cruise ship food was supposed to be fantastic, this was bland and sometimes bad. While I understand when cooking for thousands of people, spices must be withheld or kept light, however, even when having a specific meal prepared for me, spices were not available to be added. Whenever we got off the boat, we were seeking food with some flavor. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality The staff was often nice, and made every effort to be helpful. Entertainment & Activities The best events always seemed to be held while most of the ship was on shore! 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview Amazing experience by Sreekar from United States Sailing date: Jun 2012 Pros: Tracy Arm Fjord and on board Naturalist, Brent Nixon Cons: Meal options This was our first ever cruise experience and Celebrity made our trip memorable to the last minute. Everything on the ship were commendable and we had once in a life experience. We did not get our shore excursions through celebrity, so we cant comment on those, but everything else that the ship offered were amazing. Ship Details: Ship Quality Very clean and the care to detail was insane. We noticed that the crew were constantly cleaning the ship, painting the ship and offered everyday morning and evening room cleaning and organizing service. Dining/Food Very good food experience overall. Since my wife and I are both vegetarians, we found fewer options. Having said that, the fruits options were really good and we both ate our weight in fruits. Stateroom Quality Very friendly staff and very good service. Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities The on board naturalist, Brent Nixon made our cruise worth all the money we paid. He was brilliant in all his talks and provided continuous running commentary for 3 hours while we traveled through Tracy Arm Fjord. He did a total of 5 talks and we ended up buying all his DVDs. 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Celebrity Infinity a Great Ship by Karen F from Boston Sailing date: Apr 2011 Pros: Level of service Cons: Lots of old people It was a wonderful cruise. I was impressed at how attentive the crew were to the guests, especially those with special needs. There was a lot less drinking than other cruises I've been on, which was very nice. The deck chairs in the shade filled up quickly. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities We didn't go to a lot of the entertainment. However, the Smithsonian lecture series on various topics were wonderful. Of extra special note were the lectures on the Panama Canal! Read this user's port of call reviews: Acapulco, Mexico; Cristobal, Panama; Cartagena, Colombia; Huatulco, Mexico; Puntarenas, Costa Rica; Cabo San Lucas, Mexico Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Acapulco, Mexico We were surprised at how much we loved Acapulco. Cristobal, Panama Only visited the shops in the cruise port. Cartagena, Colombia We're planning on going back! Don't Miss: Buy an emerald Huatulco, Mexico This is a wonderful little port that is working hard to be an up and comer. Don't Miss: archaelogical site Puntarenas, Costa Rica The rain forest is gorgeous! Cabo San Lucas, Mexico Very fun. 6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Oceanview Panama Canal Cruise-2010 by A Traveler from Seattle, WA Sailing date: Sep 2010 Ship was fine. Public areas clean and nicely decorated. Bathrooms always seemed cleaned. Ship Details: Ship Quality Little bigger than I usually like but laid out quite nicely. Everything was easy to find. Public areas were attractively decorated and always kept clean. Dining/Food Somewhat disappointing. I've heard Celebritiy has excellent foot but that was not the case on the Infinity. Steaks overcooked and tough. Pasta undercooked. Seafood average. Nothing stood out except of course the deserts!! Buffet was always chaotic. Too many food lines going in all directions. Stateroom Quality Not the best I've had but certainly not the worst. Ship Staff Quality Bar and restaurant staff were excellent. Cabin steward left something to be desired. Took 3 attempts before he understood we wanted the beds separated! Always forgot something when cleaning the cabin. Entertainment & Activities Best entertainment was the a capella groug On Tap. They were great. Otherwise the shows were typical cruise ship fare. Entertainers who usually can't sing or dance very well. One of the biggest problems with the entertainment was that it was totally aimed at the older guests. There were enough younger people on board who might have enjoyed some entertainment geared towards the under 50 age group! Activities were boring to say the least. Scrap booking? Art auctions that put you to sleep. Water color painting led by a teacher who thought she was in school, not on a vacation cruise. Painful to watch. Nothing for the under 50 set. Read this user's port of call reviews: Acapulco, Mexico; Cartagena, Colombia; Huatulco, Mexico; Colon, Panama; Puntarenas, Costa Rica; San Diego, California; Cabo San Lucas, Mexico Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Acapulco, Mexico Got a good deal on a local taxi ride throught the city. He took us to all the highlights and was very polite and knowledgeable about the history of the city. Plus the taxi was airconditioned!! Don't Miss: Cliff divers!! Cartagena, Colombia Only excursion I took from the ship. Should have found another taxi ride. The tour guide was horrible. She let scenic sights go by while making sure time and again that we knew we were in Cartagen, Columbia. Where else were we supposed to be?? And she had the bus driver drive us right up to specific stores for our "shopping pleasure". What a rip off. While in the courtyard of the church she spent the last 15 minutes of the tour telling us about the shopping in Boca Grande. Everyone was wilting in the heat. We had run out of the water we'd been given at the start of the tour. And when we finally got to Boca Grande she again had the driver stop right in front of a specific shop and she even opened the door of the shop to usher us in!! I asked if there was a little grocery store where I could get a soda and she said she show me "later" after the jewelry store. Think she had a little something on the side with that shop?? I found what I wanted on my own. Emily is tour guide. Don't Miss: Old Town. I love historic sights Huatulco, Mexico Nice, clean little town. Again found a local taxi to show me the sights. Enjoyable port. Don't Miss: The beach! Colon, Panama Got off the ship in the evening only. Really not worth it. Don't Miss: THE CANAL!!! Puntarenas, Costa Rica Private guide to see crocadiles, monkeys and such. The only way to go. Don't Miss: Feeding the monkeys!!! San Diego, California Been here before. Always enjoy it. Lots to see and do. Had a friend take my around. Nice way to sightsee! Cabo San Lucas, Mexico WAY too hot for me! I know the street merchants want to sell you everything, but this was ridiculous. You couldn't walk 10 feet without being pestered to buy something. Glass bottom boat ride was excellent however. And cooler! Don't Miss: Glass bottom boat ride 7 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

Cons: None Overall, my family and I had a wonderful time on our cruise! The ship lived up to more than our expectations, such as the great service, to even the tiniest of things, such as bringing ice cubes to our room. Thanks for the great cruise, Celebrity!

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 65+ Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview Our Alaskan Cruise by Lois W. from Indianapolis, IN Sailing date: Jun 2010 Pros: The scenery was fabulous Cons: Sorry we didn't take more shore excursions This ship was perfect. We had an outside room and it was nice to see where we were going. It was so smooth we couldn't really tell when we were moving and when we were docked. The cabin had plenty of storage space for all our things. My husband used a scooter which we rented and we left it in the hallway outside our room. The room attendant let us use an extention cord to charge it each night. This ship was probably the largest we had been on and by far the smoothest. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities A naturalist was on board and spoke about whales, eagles, bears, sea lions, and otters. He was great and so animated during his presentation - he was down on the floor acting like the animal he was speaking about. Read this user's port of call reviews: Juneau, Alaska; Ketchikan, Alaska; Skagway, Alaska Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Juneau, Alaska Juneau was very crowded with four cruise ships in port. The sidewalks close to the ship were quite narrow. Therefore with the scooter and all the people, we didn't stay long. Ketchikan, Alaska Very nice town and easily accessible to the ship. Enjoyed the lumberjack show and we could walk to it from the ship. Shopping was varied and nice. Skagway, Alaska Of course, the train ride was the best and a must see. The scenery was fabulous and we had great care by the porter for people in scooters or wheel chairs. The town is great - glad it is still like it was in gold mining days. I found a quilt shop and went crazy for Alaskan themed fabric. Don't Miss: The don't miss activity is definitely the three-hour train ride. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Alaska! by Marguerite L. from Gallup, NM and Ipswich, MA Sailing date: Jun 2010 Pros: Tracy Arm Fjord and float plane ride Cons: not applicable The cruise on Celebrity Infinity was our first cruise--it was wonderful! The steward and waiter (for evening dinner) were memorable; I think their names were Ivan and Hasrul. We were surprised daily by the number of activities for all ages, by the professionalism of the evening shows, and by the pleasant and helpful manner of all the personnel on deck. The boat was amazing! Huge! A veritable floating community! And of course, the stops in Katchecan, Juneau, and Skagway were truly amazing when it came to landscape and scenery. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality The bed kind of slanted to both sides with a hump in the middle and was not too comfortable; however, that inconvenience was minor in comparison with the overall condition of the stateroom. Ship Staff Quality Hasrul the waiter (I don't think I'm spelling his name right--he was from Indonesia) was the absolute best, kindest, most helpful person my husband and I met; he was the waiter at the dinner meal each evening.
