Celebrity Infinity Reviews
View Cruise DealsWe were looking for a cruise of a good level, certainly above the level of our last two cruises, but felt whilst Celebrity did achieve this on some levels the entertainment was not to the level we expected. The two excursions we went on were very good and the guides were excellent. Food generally was very good and again service was excellent. We look forward to our next cruise and see how that compares with other cruise lines. Embarkation and disembarkation very well organised.
Very much enjoyed our cruise although the last day was a disappointment. We took the hop on hop off bus. We saw almost no signs of any tourist attractions. Not many shops etc. All very quiet. Most people seem to wonder why this stop was included. The dining room staff worked very hard indeed and were all delightful and attentive. Food very good indeed We used the self service on deck 10 for breakfast and was amazed at the quality and choices there. Our cabin steward Richard was very efficient and answered any queries we had. He decorated our cabin for my birthday - it was a hoot! We will certainly use celebrity again, in fact, we have another cruise already booked
The ship was very clean and staff were polite and friendly and helpful. When they realised I liked masala tea at breakfast a pot was made daily and put on our table. The poolside was very clean and towels were cleared away. In general the Infinity was a good ship and I would use it again. We did not do any of their excursions as I am disabled but did our own thing on flat land or by taxis. It was a good holiday.
Holiday was really nice, hotel was ok except it was a bit far out from the main areas so would sooner pay a little bit more to have a hotel near town. Taxi driver arrived on time and we thought we had a private transfer, instead we were crammed in to a van with other people which was quite uncomfortable. We have travelled on celebrity infinnis before so we knew what what the ship was like, to be honest the ship is now very tired and could do with being replaced for a ship the same size not one of those huge monsters that now sail the seven seas. Crew on board were lovely they were all pleasant. All in all the holiday was really good and we really enjoyed it.
The celebrity infinity is the oldest ship in the fleet and looks it. Arrived at Athens airport and no transfers so we had to get our own taxi this was to be reimbursed The cabin was good apart from the bathroom which was needed a complete facelift having said that everything worked well Staff were excellent The food was excellent, the service in the restaurant was very slow so slow we ate mainly in the buffet Entertainment varied from very good to very average Returning home we could not check in on the airline website, guest services sorted but our new tickets had different numbers and booking references? We got on the coach to the airport, when we arrived at the airport - no luggage, it was on the next coach thankfully, These hiccups in organization are not what you want
Great ship and great crew. Enjoyed quality food in Blu restaurant, wonderful entertainment, plenty of things to get involved, good facilities and more than enough drink! We did our own thing during all visits on the itinerary and had a fantastic time. Some absolute stars amongst the team onboard.
The food in the ocean food cafe was just ok and the menu was very poor for the English. Breakfast in Trellis deck 4 was very good in the morning but poor for lunch on sea days. The dinner in the evening on deck 5 had much the same menu every night and would need to be looked at. Our waiter Pedro was excellent but over worked as most times he didn’t have an assistant waiter to help him. The entertainment was excellent and also the entertainment manager was brilliant. Our room attendant JAY was excellent and very attentive to us, He definately deserves promotion. The. embarkation was very good and quick. Overall all the staff were very attentive and friendly Coming from Royal Caribbean and diamond members we were very disappointed with the way the drinks were set out, you had a 2 hour slot from 5pm to 7pm for unlimited drinks and you could only get what was on their drinks menu, on Royal you had 4 free drinks where you could have them anytime throughout the day and whatever drinks you wanted including cocktails and speciality coffees
Celebrity were first class,,we could not fault them in any way.
Weather wasn’t great but didn’t spoil the holiday. Guests were a good mix of Brits, Canadians and Americans. The visiting entertainment was far more enjoyable than the onboard. Food occasionally good mostly average. We opted out of auto tipping as our cabin experience wasn’t good, including on one occasion our cabin door being left unlocked whilst we were out. We saw others on our corridor the same over the holiday! Staff in general were excellent. Wouldn’t go on this ship again unfortunately. Price of drinks onboard a total rip off ( $25 including gratuities and tax for a glass of Sauvignon Blanc). Cruise companies need to start pricing the entire holiday in one total prepaid amount rather than all the ridiculous overpriced add ons which end up costing as much as what you paid initially to travel!
For the age of this ship she is in good order all public rooms had just been refurbished or looked like it. Staff excellent, captain excellent, ship was full but never felt crowded. I loved the smaller ship layout, although she is only smaller by today's standards. Could do with a little more choice in MDR but food always of good quality and served with a smile. The weather was not great, rough on some days, but that cant be helped. I would like to cruise on infinity again. And will definitely sail with celebrity again.
