Embarkation: Very good
I love sailing from Barcelona. It's a great sail-away port, easy to get to and has beautiful views of the city. We stayed in Barcelona for four-night s pre-cruise and had an excellent time. Embarkation was smooth, easy, and well executed. Within 20 minutes we were on board Apex.
The Ship: Very good ...
We chose this for the itinerary to see more of Spain and Portugal. Infinity is an older ship but we're ok with that. Staff were all excellent. Entertainment was mixed. Will Martin was the highlight and performed on two nights. The female violinist was good. We walked out of the male violinist. We also walked out of the magician/comedian who did old routines and wasn't funny. The entertainment crew ...
Just prior to the cruise I read some reviews about the ship that made me a little nervous about the experience I was about to have. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! The food was amazing and the service was great! It might be an older ship but they have definitely kept up with maintenance. I loved the small feel of the ship. The cheese selection in the Oceanview Cafe was amazing, not ...
20+ cruises under ourbelt
We sailed the Constellation out of Venice
Oops Ravenna
3 hour bus ride from Venice was comfortable however not convenient. We knew this up front.
Transportation from Venice was very unorganized making passengers stand in the rain for 90 min because busses were late and unorganized.
Check in was perfect once we arrived at the port
Great process
The ...
The ship is nice.
I had a solo cabin which was very good/comfortable for 1 person.
The service on the ship was good, The ship is very clean.
The unlimited internet package was fast.
I could not eat the food in the main restaurants. The quality was not acceptable.
Breakfast however was ok. But its ridiculous that you have to pay for a cappuccino for Breakfast.
The drinks ...
Our recent transatlantic cruise aboard the Beyond (Oct 30 – Nov 13) was, unfortunately, the worst cruise experience we’ve ever had. We were booked into a Sky Suite on deck 11 and on the very first day I noticed a musty odor as we opened the cabin door for the first time. My partner didn’t smell it so I simply chalked it up to a typical ‘down south smell’ that you often get in warmer, humid ...
The service, staff, entertainment, food and amenities all amazing.
Menus in four main restaurants were not very varied however food was always good. The Oceanview Cafe selections were outstanding however the cafe was always crowded and there were often lineups for some foods…and of course some folks simply ignored the queue and just barged in!!
The amenities-pools, cafes, bars, sewing ...
Itinerary made it worth going.
Have been on Infinity in the past, ( and other Celebrity ship's ) and we noted a drastic drop in menu standard at main dining room. The confirmed late dining had gone missing in the reservation, and we had to negotiate a bit to get a set table. Waiter service was inadequate. Each night we waited a very long time for everything. Shortage of staff or they are not ...
Our recent transatlantic cruise aboard the Beyond (Oct 30 – Nov 13) was, unfortunately, a terrible disappointment. My 60th birthday celebration turned into an endurance exercise and we could not wait for it to end. Frankly the worst experience we’ve ever had. We were in The Retreat, in a Sky Suite. We had previously cruised in April 2022, on the Apex [Retreat - Sky Suite - Ft Lauderdale to ...
Having been on the Solstice class ships on four different cruises, nothing prepared us for this older kind of ship at full capacity! Okay, the ship is old, we expected that but the public places are well kept up and the food is fine too. However, the great aspects of a Celebrity cruise are missing, and the constant negatives of Celebrity are worse here than on the solstice class ships. I mention: ...
