Review summary

All in all it wasn't a bad experience. The whole experience seemed rather rushed with only two sea days.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food quality has diminished a bit since our last pre covid cruise on Celebrity. Buffet was still pretty good and dining room food was above average.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Actually we didn't do many onboard activities. I would have liked some talks on the ports we were to visit.

Entertainment

Didn't attend any.

Children's Programs

No kids.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

The newer staff members seemed to struggle with their duties. The longer term staff were attentive and always helpful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The Infinity is due for a refurbishment and as it is, a bit on the tired side.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Our inside accessible cabin was just fine. The beds were a bit lumpty, but cabin service by our steward was great.

Ship tip

Ignore the constant pleas to upsell on almost everything. Ignore the art auctions. Enjoy the ports and the food aboard ship.
