   Cruise Trip by
Jane P from Naples Fl Sailing date: Jul 2009Pros: Being with Family Cons: Smalll rooms, slow service checking into cruise line Food Great , Service super , Rooms were small but ok yet were too warm . We have famlily whom were 80 plus and it was a wonderful trip for them .
The checking in at Seattle with the Cruise line was slow and they should have help us with the older folks as standing in line for 20 plus mintues was hard on them.

Juneau, AlaskaCheck out the Capital at the top of th hill and they off tours for free. Also once you come off the ship go to the left and there are booths that can book tours for you at lower rate than on the ship.
Ketchikan, AlaskaOk didn't do tours
Victoria, British ColumbiaTake a taxi ride where you come off the ship if you have a party of three or more as its less than the bus and quicker.

Great service. by
Ann from Georgia, USA Sailing date: Aug 2006Pros: Dining hall. The best time of my life just wished it wasn't that cold. My next trip will be to a warm place great service but I wished I had more variety food during dinner time since I am vegetarian. But overall the staff tried to please me very way. I enjoyed my trip very much thank you. My next trip will be celebrity cruise line. Entertainment & ActivitiesActivities: Exercise in the fitness was fun.
Entertainment: Very well oranized. 8 out of 9 people found this review helpful.

Panama Canal Cruise-2010 by
A Traveler from Seattle, WA Sailing date: Sep 2010Ship was fine. Public areas clean and nicely decorated. Bathrooms always seemed cleaned. Ship QualityLittle 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/FoodSomewhat 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 QualityNot the best I've had but certainly not the worst. Ship Staff QualityBar 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 & ActivitiesBest 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.

Acapulco, MexicoGot 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, ColombiaOnly 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, MexicoNice, clean little town. Again found a local taxi to show me the sights. Enjoyable port.
Don't Miss: The beach! Colon, PanamaGot off the ship in the evening only. Really not worth it.
Don't Miss: THE CANAL!!! Puntarenas, Costa RicaPrivate guide to see crocadiles, monkeys and such. The only way to go.
Don't Miss: Feeding the monkeys!!! San Diego, CaliforniaBeen here before. Always enjoy it. Lots to see and do. Had a friend take my around. Nice way to sightsee!
Cabo San Lucas, MexicoWAY 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.

Celebrity Infinity a Great Ship by
Karen F from Boston Sailing date: Apr 2011Pros: 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 Quality

Great Cruise! by
Cindy D from Orlando, FL Sailing date: May 2009Pros: Alaska is absolutely amazing! Infinity treats you like the name.. a Celebrity Cons: Food could have been better, nothing open 24 hours. We had a wonderful experience on the cruise. It was a girls vacation away. I booked most of my excursions separately from the cruise as you will save money doing that. The boat itself was clean, employees were extremely friendly and helpful. Couldn't have asked for a better crew & captain. Ship Quality

A Fantastic Cruise! by
A Traveler from Champaign, IL Sailing date: Jul 2010Pros: The great service! Cons: None Overall, my family and I had a wonderful time on our cruise!

Just a well balancec vacation by
Vincent D from Richmond, VA Sailing date: Nov 2012Pros: 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 QualityShip 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/FoodVery 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 QualityIt 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 QualityThe 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 & ActivitiesExcellent. 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.
