When I'm on a cruise I don't want my ice cream screwed with.

Our last cruise was on the Infinity back in 2022 and we loved her. The crew take such good care of her and while you can tell she's older, she is very loved. We would not hesitate to sail on her again.

We sailed on the Infinity and had exactly the same itinerary. We came back just a week ago. The ship isn't the best one we've been on, but we still enjoyed our cruise.

Thanks, guys. Booked on Infinity at the end of the year doing Morocco and the Canaries. You given us invaluable info.

Thank you for sharing your cruise.😊

Happy to see your smiling faces in another great GBU video! I'm actually pleasantly surprised at how good the Infinity is looking! I cruised on her in 2002, her second? season. That was a different Celebrity back then but it was a great cruise. Only our second cruise, so we didn't have a lot to compare it to at the time. Glad you had a port intensive itinerary so you weren't staring at that tiny computer monitor, I mean, TV. 😂

We chose this particular cruise because of the itinerary (12 day Spain, Canary Islands and Morocco). Too bad about the pizza and pasta, those are my hubby’s faves. Hopefully they’ll sort that out before our cruise. As an aside, if there’re any shore excursion tips anyone can give on the places we’ll be at, it would be very much welcomed.

in 2005 I was on the infinity, Before that I was loyal to Royal and had tried Princess. After the cruise on the Infinity , Celebrity became my favorite cruise line. I liked the size and layout of the ship and the service was best I had ever had. The friends that went on that cruise with me all look back on that cruise with good memories, Since I have been cruising for over 30 years the Infinity was a large ship back then. I had cruised on some smaller ships like The Song Of America and the Viking Serenade (38.5k and 40K tons). In the 30 years of cruising I have been on small ships and some of the mega liners. I prefer the smaller ships that are cruise ships and not floating amusement parks. I'm happy to see the Infinity is being kept in good condition, She is an elegant lady for her age. I'd be happy to cruise on her again.

Yes. When the Infinity was out in 2001 or so, or even in 2005, it was a "large" ship. It was not a "smaller" ship. Ships have ballooned in size. So, it's a matter of perspective. For me, it's still a large ship. A small ship, IMO, is around 30,000 tons. The big ships from Princess or Celebrity aren't floating amusement parks. They're just bigger versions of the same thing. Except, Celebrity is now getting into the class thing with the "retreat" area and too much of the ship, IMO, is restaurants and not enough is social mingle lounge or recreation areas. The new Sun Princess looks promising. It still seems to have a lot of lounge areas for people who prefer them.

It is meant to challenge and not be boring and conventional like every other cruise line.

I’ve sailed the Infinity twice, first time in 2008 and it felt a little dated even back then (probably because I’ve been spoiled by their larger and newer ships). Regardless, I have always enjoyed the Millennium class and will be on the sister Summit this June to Alaska, also in Aquaclass. I hope the Summit has a newer stateroom TV. The fact that Celebrity couldn’t install a new $300 smart TV is a blemish on them, coming out of dry dock. Perhaps they are getting ready to sell off those older ships and limited their investments in updating.

I didn't need the movies on my Inifinity cruise since it was a short 7 day cruise. However, I did miss on demand movies on the Constellation. Maybe it's that class of ship. I do know I will not take a long transatlantic on the smaller Celebrity ships.I have a few booked on other Celebrity ships.

We watched Emma’s review of the Infinity and the Athens-Athens itinerary and that persuaded us to book. We’ll see if she’s right.

Infinity was our first Celebrity ship in Aug 22. We wanted to get away after a summer of tragedy. We did not want 7k people or loud. We needed R &R and we were so well taken care of on the Infinity. This cruise for us, we are 60s, hit the spot. I like the small ship feel. There were around 1200 on board and it was lovely. I never eat late at night so I can not speak about that. Our room was dated but comfortable. I love all the windows in that ship, you could see the ocean from MDR and the main lounge where you would play all the games.

Never sailed one that old so interesting info. Maybe on one of your shorter cruises, you might say you are vegan and see how the food turns out. That's the worse part of cruising for me -- getting vegan food even when you alert them.

Point is, do not think Europe is a good idea if you are mobility challenged. scooters get stuck in uneven cobbles. Tour guides do not want to help with mobility problems. Many old European bathrooms will be a problem if you have mobility issues. I handled it well but my friend had a very hard time. I came home and told my son to travel the world before he gets old.

The problem in the late night might have been due to lack of help?? Or that there were older people onboard and they are in bed by 10. I have never had a problem with getting fresh pizza late night.

It is for a modern day ocean cruise ship! But, we understand there are definitely smaller 😅😉

You guys sound kind of "young" sometimes IMO. First of all, the ship is 90,000 tons and while that's "smaller," it's not small. The thing is, in the cruise industry, ships much smaller than the Infinity, a Millennium class ship, are considered part of why they're luxurious. Smaller is more expensive in the industry. Next, the TV is not from the "beginning of time." TVs were CRT and before that they were only black and white encased in wood furniture. That was a flat screen TV. It wasn't new, but it wasn't ancient either. I know it was a joke, but still. And there's no such thing as dated music. People love music of all eras. I was just listening to an album from 1973. Music from any time period can be enjoyed and a lot of people like music from way longer than 20 years ago. The venues and sound equipment and such can be updated but there's no reason why great music made 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago shouldn't be played on a cruise ship or in any venue. I'll agree with you that the pizza looked horrible and that's a miss. The art on the Infinity is Celebrity art. It's what is to be expected on any of their ships. Your review didn't talk about mix and mingling and live music. Whether it is to dance, play sports, trivia, that's something that's a standout on the Infinity vs. the Edge ships in particular., because it has better lounges and spaces for it I remember the Constellation and Millennium when they were brand new and believe it or not, that doesn't seem that long ago. They're old ships now but they are still modern, modern being they have balconies and internet and modern lighting and navigation and such. They're not like an 80 or early 90s era ship that feels quite different. If you want a more modernized Millennium class ship go on the Summit or Millennium. I don't like the "Edgeified" areas of those ships so I prefer the Infinity or Constellation that keep more of their original design and charm.

I went deaf on a Celebrity Solstice cruise after getting a norovirus. My virus started in my stomach and settled in my ear. By the time we got to St. Martin’s I was deaf. I was later treated at one of the best hospitals in the country but they were unable to restore my hearing. While receiving steroid injections through my ear drum, something occurred and I ended up with intense debilitating tinnitus that has caused me to lose my job and basically life as I once knew it. My advice to everyone out there is to never ever take a cruise. These vessels are petri fishes for germs. Take my advice, cruises are a lot of fun but in all honestly, they aren’t worth it. Just for the record, Celebrity Cruise Line did nothing for me and never compensated me for what occurred.

"Ugly" was the late night pizza? Laughable.

I went on this ship in 2017. It was very dated and one meal was worse than the next. Very bland with no flavor.

Looks like an old hospital. Not sure why anyone would pay the higher fare amounts to go on an old ship. Should be mothballed or saved for the next time they need a fleet quarantine ship for crew.
