My husband and I just got home from the September 7, 2012 sailing to Alaska on Infinity. I honestly do not understand what all the complaint reviews are about. We found the staff very helpful and friendly. Our head waiter, Alfred, and our assistant waiter, Oscar, could not have been better. The were very concerned about our meal and if we were enjoying our dinner. The buffet had any kind of food ...
My wife and I have cruised on various lines but are loyal to Celebrity and it pays off with the perks of Captain's Club Elite.
We enjoyed 4 nights in Seattle at the Marriott Waterfront. We enbarked on the Infinity with no problems. We carried our baggage to the ship on the morning of Sept. 21 and had it inspected and loaded within 5 minutes. We then went to Pike Place Market and got some ...
Our 17 day cruise was the longest cruise we have taken yet. I convinced my husband that we should share the cost out of our private funds since the budget couldn't take another cruise this year. It was our birthday present to each other. My husband hurt his back a week before the cruise so it was really iffy as to whether we would be able to go but I kept the faith and we went.
Our first ...
Sept 18 & 19: We left home around 1:00 pm to drive to Portland, ME. Stayed at the Marriott Sable Oaks, our favorite hotel in Portland. We stayed overnight, and left our car there for the duration of the cruise. At 4:00 a.m. we took their free shuttle to the airport. Check-in was a breeze, so we had time for coffee and a bagel before heading to the gate. Flight went through Chicago, and we ...
We booked this cruise as a getaway/40th anniversary celebration. Our daughter was married 9/15, the last houseguest left on 9/18 and we flew to Seattle 9/21 and boarded the Infinity. It was raining when we got to Seattle so we abandoned our plans to tour the city and went directly to the cruise terminal. We were first in line to go through security but did not board first as they took the suite ...
We were on the last cruise of the Alaskan Tracy Fjord on the Infinity in mid-September. I understand that the Solstice is doping these cruises next year. I was traveling with my mother. We flew into Seattle from Tucson via Las Vegas on Southwest. I had cruised to Alaska before in 1999 on the Statendam. Last time Seattle was a transfer point as that cruise left from Vancouver.
Before going ...
The Celebrity Infinity Alaskan Cruise was a good experience and I would recommend doing it - once. Before I dive into a more detailed review it's worth noting that I start with a bias - I love cruise vacations. I've been on at least 14 that include itineraries within the Caribbean, Mexico, the Mediterranean and now Alaska. I've sailed on 4 different lines (Carnival, Holland America, Royal ...
This was our 25th cruise, our second on Celebrity. We loved it - we were part of a group of 12 and the overall concensus was that Celebrity definitely does an above average job of providing a value-added cruise experience. Our Concierge cabin was perfect, the daily fruit bowls and canapes were great, and the flowers in the cabin and bathroom were a wonderful touch. The shower was comfortable, ...
The night before the cruise, we stayed at the Westin in downtown Seattle, which is handy to Starbucks and a large drugstore. We arrived for embarkation at 11 AM, waiting just a short time before boarding. Our room was ready by 1 PM. That first day there were no flowers or canapes, the safe didn't work and had to have the battery replaced, and the plugs didn't work. The electrician came in and ...
First time Cruiser here, so nothing to compare it to but OMG did this exceed any and all my expectations.
After reading all the nightmares we arrived at the terminal at 1230 worried about what we would be doing until the 2pm boarding time. We arrived to find over a 1000 other guests there already and with a sigh we settled in for the long wait. To my wonder and pleasure within 10 minutes we ...
