I have a sailing next year on the Celebrity Beyond. The rooms, as of now, are very slim pickings. Curious if anyone has any photos from cabin 6113 depicting the view from the Veranda as this is listed as a obstructed due to the life boats. I have found some other cabins on this desk and it appears some views are very obstructed while others are not too bad.

My apologies, it appears you are correct.

The biggest takeaway I received from the email communication was that for the next year we can enjoy our Blue Chip Club perks for whatever tier we are currently at, but once the new program goes into play on 07/21/2025 you get wiped. From that date forward all points are wiped on an annual basis.

Their website reflects they ensure you get to the ship and home so I would interpret that as if there is an issue either way they handle. As others have said though, I guess that would depend on if they answer or not.

I can't attest to how they operate out of Canada, but I used FBC for my recent sailing in February which was from Florida to Greece without any issues. FBC was a little more expensive versus me booking myself, but when I thought about the hassle of missing one of the flights (there was no route without having 2 layovers) I felt the price difference was worth having them deal with the hassle of getting me to the ship. Both legs of the trip went without issues. Only time we heard from FBC was when we got an alert that one of our flights was taking off earlier than anticipated from the original itinerary.

I was on the Infinity last month. In speaking to a lot of the upper staff (Retreat Manager & Hotel Director) we were told it will be a Greek Isle cruise for all of this year and possibly into 2025. If you have booked in hopes of seeing Egypt/Israel on this ship it won't be this year.

I recently sailed on the Infinity post dry dock and feel that this post essentially sums up my experience with the boat. I have not sailed it before so I can't attest to what all changes they have made, but the only thing that I was made aware by staff was the overhaul with the Michael's Club and Luminae (both of which were great). I don't go out of my way looking for things to complain about, but there was nothing throughout my stay that stood out in my opinion to be a problem. While the cabins are of course older so they do feel a bit dated, we had zero issues with anything in our room the entire trip.

Found a video that highlights the changes on the Infinity now that it has completed it's recent dry dock. Skip to 13:54 where they essentially list of what the changes are if you don't want the full ship tour.
