Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Buffet- First of all there is an very unpleasant smell in the buffet. The options of food are absolutely terrible. Maybe 5 or 6 choices of cheap ham and cheese. To get an omelet you need to wait 20 + minutes. Choices of the juices in the same categories as choices of ham and cheese. But what is the WORST is service. All they know how to say is : Good Morning, Good afternoon and Have a nice Day. No-one is there being helpful. In one of the busy morning i sow a mother with child looking for a free table and going twice with the baby around the buffet and nobody help her to find a table. Nobody offered to at least see what table become available soon. The other thing when they clean the tables they leaving the tables wet. Shouldn't they wipe the table with a dry napkins after they cleaned with the wet once. The Sushi restaurant and The French are restrain are really really good and deserve 5 Stars

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Boring..boring ..boring All the activities are from "Frank Sinatra" era. At 10 PM no activities what so ever. No games, no fun stuff, no nothing. All the singers that they have before dinner time look tired and not cheerfully at all.

You need to do more research before you book. Celebrity has never been a 'party' cruise line, so not surprised you were disappointed if you were looking for 24 hour fun. Maybe try virgin or carnival next time.

I liked Infinity for the fact it was restful cruise. But, yeah X entertainment is very MEH. I wish I could share video of the pool deck. Now, the Dual String couple in Al Bacio were awesome. But like all X entertainment, they were not very personable. They never even smiled.
