Celebrity Cruises - Infinity Review

I went on the Infinity in July 2007 on a 7 night cruise to Alaska. Overall, I thought the trip was well worth the money. Best of all, I also redeemed miles through United Airlines and got a free airplane ride to Vancouver (port of departure). The cruise cost around $800 dollars for the 7 nights. The flight was free. I also stayed in Vancouver for the night before the cruise and the night after the cruise ended.

 Going into the cruise, I was really excited to do nature related activities, see the glaciers, and experience what many have described a "valued" cruise for a mid budget cruise line. Celebrity has consistently been ranked as a great mid priced cruise line that has value for what you pay. It is also known as a cruise line that caters to older folks and not neccesarily younger children and teenagers.

 I'm an early/mid twenties professional and for me this cruise was perfect. They also had excellent food selection for the price range that this cruise was offered to me. They had a healthy section and also different themes throughout the trip. The midnight buffet was neat and better than Royal Carribeans (in my opinion).

 The excursions were a bit pricy, but that's expected for any excursion. At Icy Strait Point, you basically don't have a choice with NOT booking with the cruise line since they own everything. Everywhere else, you can let the cruise ship dock and then pick out the excursion once you dock (despite them telling you otherwise- do it this way and you will save some money).

I think the bingos were fun though that's not for everyone. The casino was a bit small, but that's not unusual or a cruise ship.

The only thing that could have been better was my main server/waiter. His assistant was great, but he wasn't all that great compared to what I've had before.

For my first time on celebrity, I would definitely go again.
