Future of the Infinity

I see that the Celebrity Infinity is being used starting later in 2018 for 4 and 5 night cruises out of Fort Lauderdale. Do you think this is the first step in phasing out this ship? I feel like the hsips used for short cruises are the less desirables. We couldn't pass up a great deal on the 5 night in Dec 2018 so I hope it is around for a while more.

I also thought I read that it was going in for a short refresh in Fall 2018.

I'm not sure if this means anything or not. A few years ago the 4 and 5 night Caribbean cruises became the domain of Constellation for a while and now she is back doing the longer cruises to other parts of the world.

And before that it was the itinerary of Millie. EM

One way of looking at this is these short cruises are many people's first exposure to a cruise line, or to cruising. Would it make sense for a cruise line to have a bad ship be the first impression to a guest?

We've got another 7 night US/Canada Pacific Coastal cruise booked on the Infinity 2 September 2018. Great ship and staff.

All four "M" class ships are part of Celebrity's fleet refurb.

IMHO they would not spend the money, nor make them "Edgey" if they planned to sell them off.

Hopefully they will open up more ports (West coast Hawaii???) and smaller venues.

Infinity will also be chartered for two Smooth Jazz Cruises, in Feb & March of 2019 -- taking the place of Summit, which is hosting those particular charters, this spring. :cool:

They'd need alot of work to make Infinity truly " edgy "... she needs a refit on the AC system...sewage system... re do of AQ showers to get rid of very strong mildew..poor design with the swing doors.

Cosmetic updates are nice, but functional basics are better. The ship is not falling apart by any means, but is showing its age under the surface and above!

Any information on when the Infinity may be getting Edgy?
