A mid-sized ship with not too many passengers. Communal areas are well-maintained offering an impression of quality. The balcony cabin was in good condition but could be a little larger.The queen-sized bed was very comfortable and well looked after by the stateroom attendant. Food in the Trellis restaurant is of high quality with plenty of choice, but the starters were mainly soup or salad. The service was fine and as I had a nut allergy well-managed by the restaurant staff, by allowing me to see and order my food the night before so the chef could make sure it was totally nut free. My main concern was the entertainment in the theatre. The ship's own cast were not up to the job and very disappointing. The guest performers were good and well received. Overall an enjoyable cruise which I would take again.

We travelled with Celebrity X last year on the EQUINOX. A little disappointed in the infinity. Was certainly needing some TLC The staff were wonderful. The entertainment was excellent. Disappointed about the gratuities. We have never been charged On a daily basis before. Usually this is included in the price of cruise. And the fact we did not get the opportunity to give to the staff we felt deserved it. Those that attended to us Personally. This was a huge amount taken off us at the end of the cruise To which my husband gave out tips to those whom we wanted to. After the cruise we had been told by some of the other passengers that You can opt out of this. We were not aware of this. This is the only reason I have marked the cruise at a 4.
