Review summary

This was a very nice cruise with excellent entertainment and service. We were told that Celebrity was the elite of the Royal Caribbean family but for the money, we like Royal Caribbean better.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth, quick and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The service in the main dining room was great, the selection of food could have been better. We are not much for buffets but they were OK.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The adult pool was spectacular.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
This is the best entertainment we have had on a ship in a long time. The stage shows were top notch as well as the musicians and other entertainers.

The service on this ship was excellent, very friendly and attentive.

Ship Quality

Very well maintained, clean and easily to navigate..

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was clean and very well maintained but the bed was exceptionally hard.

Ship tip

Nice ship. If you are going on the Infinity, book your room in the middle of the ship as the dining room is at one end and the theater is at the other end of the ship.

Ports of call

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

5 out of 5
We flew into Athens 2 days before so we could explore the city before our cruise and were glad we did. It was spectacular. We bought tickets to use the Hop On Hop Off Bus to stop at all the major sights of the city.

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

5 out of 5
We did the City Panoramic Drive excursion so we could see and experience a little bit of what this port was like and it was very interesting.

Mykonos, Greece

5 out of 5
We did the Highlights of Mykonos excursion and really enjoyed it.

Santorini, Greece

3 out of 5
We did the Islands and Canava Museum Visit and the tour was very nice but at the end they dropped us off to take the cable car back to the ship which was terrible. There were 4 ships in port that day and our tour was in the afternoon. Hundreds of people all were taking this cable car back and we had a one and a half hour wait, standing in line.

Rhodes, Greece

5 out of 5
Nice port, We did the Exclusive Medieval Town of Rhodes tour and really enjoyed it.

Valletta, Malta

5 out of 5
We did the Three Cities and Harbor Cruise and enjoyed the harbor cruise very much.

Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands

5 out of 5
We did the Palma City Sightseeing tour and enjoyed this very much.

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
We stayed in Barcelona for two days after our cruise so we could explore this city and enjoyed it very much. We got tickets to use the Hop ON Hop Off Bus which took us to all the major sights of the city.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
When they called our luggage bag number to leave the ship, all was going well until we arrived to get our luggage. There was a belt circling with luggage on it and instead of finding our bags and leaving, we waited 10 minutes for our bags to finally arrive on the belt.
