Review summary

It was an excellent cruise from start to finish. The entire crew on the Infinity were always smiling, helpful, and their to make your adventure enjoyable. I hope my next Celebrity cruise has the same amount of personal care as the team on this ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy, not too long to wait to board

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Very top notch, most meals were excellent. A few were very good but could be a little better.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Many choices of things to do, we could not possibly to everything they offered. Lots of variety.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Some were better than others, we did not attend all the shows. There were many other things we preferred to do over the shows.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was outstanding from the wait staff to the activities directors. The room steward we had was exceptional.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
It was very well in layout and easy to find our way around. Some areas need a refresh, but that is minor

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very comfortable, plenty of room to store clothing and other items. Had a very large veranda that was a bonus, we enjoyed it very much.

Ship tip

Check out all the areas of the buffet, there are so many choices I honestly didn't discover some until the last day or two of the cruise.

Ports of call

Buenos Aires, Argentina

5 out of 5
We spent 3 days before the cruise exploring the city. Did a night tour which I highly recommend. We went to various areas I would be hesitant to explore on my own, and it was all beautiful, fun and different. It was a small group of 12 which was excellent.

Ushuaia, Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina

5 out of 5
One of the best tours on this trip. We did the Beagle Channel and saw a great deal of wildlife.

Cruise Cape Horn

4 out of 5
Very beautiful view from the ocean. We spent a good deal of time sailing around this area and it was well worth it.

Cruise Schollart Channel, Antarctica

5 out of 5
Sailing through Antartica is so dramatic.

Cruise Paradise Harbor, Antarctica

5 out of 5

Cruise Gerlache Strait

5 out of 5

Cruise Elephant Island, Shetland Islands

5 out of 5

Port Stanley, Falkland Islands

5 out of 5
This is a top spot to visit. We did Bluff Cove excursion and saw a large group of penguins which you could get within 3 feet of to photograph and watch their antics.

Puerto Madryn, Argentina

5 out of 5
Very nice port, we did an excursion to a penguin rookery. The ride was 2-1/2 hours each way with just one hour to visit and see the penguins. Would have been nice to stay their longer, but the ship time in port would need to be longer.

Montevideo, Uruguay

5 out of 5
We walked this city on our own and enjoyed the culture and history.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
A few hiccups on disembarkation but it did not take long. Had a pickup service ordered in advance to take us to our hotel which is smart. It's a bit chaotic. Plan ahead.
