If you ever arrive at cruise ship and there are "emma cookies" then you will know that they have recogniced you. Great and surprisingly good cruise where the ship never did feel really old, but remember: Are they really old ships ? I can remember QE 2 when it was 25 years or so end of the 80s and I would not be sure if that had been looking better. Long time ago, but this ship looked great at least whereever you went and showed us. I only watch these videos from time to time and most likeyl if they are extraordinary by the title cause the rather new ships have become twins and are loosing character which was not the case this time. I had thought it might end terrible, but it seems like you have enjoyed it a lot. Good luck for your next choice - must be hard to decide based on the huge amount of cruise ship around the world and in europe.

I took my first Celebrity Cruise to Mexico Out of L.A. on the Stolstice. It was amazing. We splurged for all the restos and the French one was one of the best restos I have ever eaten in and that is saying a lot as I have eaten in most of the "good" restaurants in the SF bay area. It is my go-to line as it is just a little more costly than the budget-premium lines and has a great compliment of guests and staff.

Just to be clear, the Celebrity Millennium class ships (Millennium, Infinity, Summit and Constellation) are great ships. And Celebrity doesn't let them run down or provide less in the way of quality. I would sail on any of them any time, and I was recently on the Ascent. They are a little different experience, but wonderful in their own way. Also, the smaller ships can go to ports that the larger ships can't go to. Glad you had a great time, Emma. I do want to point out that dresses aren't "required". I've been on eight Celebrity cruises and never took a dress or a skirt. I accessorize around a nice pair of black slacks.

Agree with you and was on an early sailing of the Ascent. Could you find a better ship at any price. Really. Show me one. OK The Oasis class ships are unique and give you a unique experience. If you want to do a Transatlantic these are amazing ships. Their layouts have actual mini neighborhoods inside. A unique protected completely separate walking track almost a quarter of a mile long. And you are right about the infinity. Celebrity does a great job on all their ships. Bar none. We are Elite on Celebrity and Diamond on RCCL. With that said a few years ago we were on the very last American cruise to Cuba. The very last one. Thats a shame that we are doing this to the Cuban people who desperately need our financial support as they are impoverished and without hope although they do try. We were on the very very old Monarch of the Seas and it was a sad ship. Im glad it was only three days on that ship. So there is some merit to an argument like this but I would put it this way, is it worth it to be on a very old and not updated ship.

I LOVE the Celebrity Millennium class ships - I know where to find stuff, and I love the Solarium. It's always toasty and calm, with no kids screaming cos they provide separate areas for different types of guests. It might sound silly but I rank an indoor pool area really high when I'm choosing a trip, even if I'm going somewhere really hot. I also think the Celebrity buffets are some of the best for the pricing, and the restaurant staff are a lot better trained than some of their competitors.

I was a travel agent when this class of ship came out. My boss sailed on the maiden voyage. He called it a perfect cruise ship.

I was also on a Greek islands cruise (+ Istanbul and Kotor) last week with Celestyal Journey, which is an even older and smaller ship (built 1994, max ~1200 passengers).

The best cruise we have ever had was on Celebrity Constellation around the Caribbean. We sailed on small and large ships and always say the cruise on the Connie was the best. Could not fault the delicious food, staff, the ship, cabins or ports of call. The food on the ships that sail from Florida tends to be better, but that's personal choice. We love Celebrity.

Hi Emma!! Happy you enjoyed yourself on the Infinity. Many years ago, my mum worked the company that owned Celebrity Cruises. Back then they were called Chandris. Owned by 2 brothers called John & Michael Chandris, the ships back then were even smaller than Infinity, holding less than 1000 passengers. It is why there is a big white X on all Celebrity ships. In Greek the name Chandris starts with X. I do find it amazing how big cruise ships have gotten over the last 20 years.

Admittedly, I have never been on a cruise. That said, I thoroughly enjoy your videos, Emma and this is one of my favorites. I think that this is as big of a ship as I would care to sail on. I love the feeling of moving over the water on small boats. You lose that with floating cities. Also, whatever a ship has to offer that can't be appreciated in the available time in the duration of the cruise is superfluous. I get why some people love an abundance of choices, but give me a comfortable room, a reasonable selection of well-prepared foods, a bit of good entertainment, a comfortable deck chair, a bottle of Scotch... I think I would be happy. That indoor pool arrangement looks particularly nice, though it always seemed a bit illogical to climb into a boat to swim. 😅

We have been on the Millennium, Solstice and Constellation when those ships were not "small" nor old. Celebrity's classics really provide a great experience.

I worked as a photographer on the cruise ships from 1994 -1997, on several different ships, including celebrity line, which had the best " crew " food. Back in the nineties, this would have been the biggest and most modern ship out there.

Celebrity is the best, no matter how old the ship! The details, the people, the crew- the best.

A couple of years ago we saw your journey on Celestyal Cruises so we booked ourselves a spot and went. We had a blast! Thank you so much for that tip and all of your videos. Now I'm just waiting for my Captain Hudson V4 to take on our next cruise.

Nauplion is a former Greek capital. The old town is charming.There's numerous sites to visit from pre-Greek to late Ottoman times very close by; if you time it right you can catch an ancient play at an ancient amphitheatre with great acoustics. There's options for swimming and hiking. You can also engage in some nearby island hopping (Hydra, Spetses) and these are pretty distinctive - and not nuked out of all character by mass tourism.

This video makes me want to sail this ship and itinerary. And it was something I never would have considered. Thank you for trying out what we don’t have time to tryout, so we can be very intentional with vacation time. Looking forward to the next video.

A cruise was something I'd not particularly considered before (most likely due to my ill-informed cliched preconceptions about such things), so somewhat to my surprise, I finid myself about to pop my cruise cherry later this year with a Princess British Isles cruise. My Mum at 82yrs wanted to try one whilst she's still able to, so she opted for the peace of mind of being simultaneously home and away...and, I wasn't about to turn down the opportunity of going along for the ride. I came across your channel (amongst many) whilst doing my 'homework' and I thank you for the detailed information I've gleaned from your work on here. It's been really helpful and much appreciated, and the style of presentation has for me, been the best. Furthermore, it's most definitely, whetted my appetite for cruises! Whether I'll like crusing or not remains to be seen, but as someone who's not particularly fussed (yet!) about all the cruise 'bells and whistles', the cruise ship in this particularly video looked flippin' perfect, and if all goes well, I'll definitely be looking out for this 'old lady' as a possibility for a 2025 cruise.

Well, it's smaller but I wouldn't call it small. When it was built, it was a large ship. Ships have gotten just really, really large. A small ship to me is 40,000 tons, maybe 50,000 tons, not 91,000. Most of the very expensive cruise ships are no larger than 60,000 tons.

My wife and I cruised on the Infinity in 2004 from Ft. Lauderdale through the Panama Canal to San Diego. At that time, Infinity was of Panamax Class, which meant it was the maximum size able to traverse the Canal. We have always been Celebrity fans and we enjoyed this ship. Thanks for bringing us along for the fond memories!

I think you have the best cruise videos. I find the way you speak and the things you show and just your kind of practical views of things the best. Never in my life have I considered going on a celebrity cruise until I watch this one from you. The giant ships do not appeal to me at all being trapped, forced to be in lines forced to wait on everything because of the massive number of people this has made me think that maybe I will start looking at these types of things when it’s less crowded. The age of the ship doesn’t bother me at all I love that it’s smaller.

I have sailed on the Infinity several times in the early to mid 2000's. Looks like she's in good shape. At the time she was considered cutting edge and a "larger" ship. Funny to hear her described as an old, small ship now...lol. The grand staircase in the atrium, the main dining room, and the aqua spa(solarium) were always some of my favorite features of this beautiful ship.

I was thinking the same thing? if Cruise shipping is your thing, note night over large night club, it' everything? missing passengers, all the big ship have, launch boat, for where ship to big for the port, or there no port? why could leave one behind, for the stragglers, they could easy catch up ship on it on root to next stop?

As for the dining rooms! I think this is something that, like shopping habits, will sway back and forth. People flocked to malls, then to boutiques, then back to malls etc., etc., Houses do this in North America. Open concept. More rooms....open concept...rinse repeat!

I took my very first cruise on this vessel in 2007. It was the Alaska cruise from Vancouver BC. I think it is a very comfortable ship. The decor was minimal, open and bright. And yes, the cookies were the best part lf the day. Great video Emma.

Hi Emma, we were on the Infinity a few weeks before you and the ship was only about 50% full.

This ship reminded me a bit of Zuiderdam, which also has comfy bench seating in the main lounge. It also has great carpet, ceilings and interesting/unusual art objects scattered around the ships. Great video!

I did a 11 day cruise on a constellation class ship like this one and it was one of my best cruises ever. That was back in the day where Elite was the top tier of Captain's Club. Anyway I love long cruises on smaller ships because you get a chance to know the crew and fellow passengers. I exchanged Christmas cards with couple from our dining room table for a decade.

It's a great ship. We'll be on it in December. Great video!

Emma, that sounds like my perfect cruise! I love smaller ships and I love cruises that are less than 100% full.

Great video (as ever), and I chuckled when I realized it was the Infinity which we sailed on a few months ago for a Spain - Portugal cruise. We had also sailed on the Infinity for a South American Buenos Aires to Valparaiso cruise in 2015. Having sailed on all the Millennium class ships (Constellation, Infinity, Millennium, and Summit) as well as multiple Solstice class ones, it's hard for me to not recommend the "old" and "aging" ships in their fleet at a nice discount to the "new" Edge class pricing. For adults, Celebrity is a great option. And we always love the "weird" art on-board too. These small (by modern standards) ships are a real sweet spot for affordability and crowds with no sacrifices for service & food.

I had the pleasure working there 20 years ago as a Purser. Beautiful ship and one of the few still with GAS Turbines. Noiseless and great memories! Thanks Emma, just discovered your channel and you have a new fan :) just started my channel so yours is really inspiring!

Thanks for a great video, I always enjoy watching your stuff!

I sailed on Celebrity Infinity to Alaska 7 or 8 years ago - and thought it was nice / fine. I didn't know it was one of their smaller, older ships! Great video!

Haha, 23 year old ship - we sailed on the Celebrity Millennium X in its maiden season, I think about that long ago. Apparently one of the propeller shafts was slightly bent so they couldn’t go full speed, frequently getting embarrassed by older ships between ports. To said the brand new ship would have to go into dry dock for repairs after that first Caribbean season. Great all around experience, perhaps a bit more pampered than we preferred since sister Royal Caribbean was more typical for us.

Sailed on the Millennium last September, the namesake of the class of ship and it has undergone through the "revolution" complete renovation. Cabins and ship were beautiful and loved that it's still small enough that it doesn't get that crowded feeling. Just sailed on the HAL Zaandam, another older ship and it was also in great shape but the cabins definitely felt dated (but still in nice shape). It's even less crowded despite being at capacity (it was the total eclipse sailing) but dear lord, the company and the app were completely behind the times compared to Celebrity. Crew was just as good though.

love your reviews. always entertaining and informative.

Thanks so much 🥹❤️

Bravo. Excellent program. Very informative. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you.

Thank you, I enjoyed the video. I was particularly fascinated by you reaction to the vessel being small. It's smaller than most cruise ships of today but at 91,000 tons it is about 3 and 1/3 times bigger that Carnival Cruise lines first two ships (I worked on both) in the 1970s which were each only 27,500 tons. They felt like you were at sea.

We're off on a cruise in a few days and this looked great. This ship looked to be in good order as well as very clean and airy. I do like the way you described her as small because I have served aboard smaller Aircraft -Carriers.

Thank you! So much going on.

wow, this is kind of cruise I would have enjoyed -- great food, not many people, quiet, great port experiences -- fantastic find

Oh how lovely to see Infinity. We cruised on her in 2002/3, it remains the best cruise we have ever done ( through the Panama Canal) . It was 5* back in those days! UK.

I'm so relieved to see that there are still less than full cruises still available post the 2021 post-pandemic era.

We sailed on Infinity over Xmas and New Year , sailing the Canaries and Morocco ... we loved EVERY second of that cruise , the weather was perfect with 27 degrees all the way !!!

I was a staff member on this ship for six months when it cruise the Inside Passage of Alaska back in 2007. I made life long friends. And I want to take a cruise on her someday! Thanks for bringing back memories.

What a fabulous video. 😁 We cruised on the Infinity last year to the Antarctic, it was an amazing trip. Even though this ship is older than most, it is in fantastic condition. We really love this style of ship. Is Alejandro the cruise director? He is simply the best!

I like the idea of cruise ships that have 20 or so small, intimate restaurants each offering different cuisines, much as you would get in a city centre. Thay can be arranged around common galleys for efficiency.

I actually cruised on this ship with my parents, while I was in college, back in 2002, out of Charleston, SC down to the Bahamas (7day). Was a GREAT trip. .. had some.. GREAT experiences.

I was on this ship on an Alaskan cruise decades ago - it was fabulous then and now!
