DreadPirateRobert Posted April 21, 2018 #52 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Please do report in DreadPirateRobert, as to what you discover during your awesome cruise. We board in Ft Lauderdale on May 2! Having a wonderful time. There appear to be no issues with propulsion. As noted by many the Infinity is definitely showing her age and wear in some areas. Pools could be cleaner, deck tiles cracked and generally in need of a major refit. However, the food is great, the crew friendly and helpful. I can honestly say that none of the issues with ship’s condition have detracted from our enjoyment of this vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really glad to hear that you’re having a good time on Infinity. The ship has been the objects of a fair amount of negative critics; which had me a bit concerned about our upcoming cruise in June. Thank you very much for your feedback!

ecslady Posted April 21, 2018 #55 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Having a wonderful time. There appear to be no issues with propulsion. Does the wake seem even off the aft of the ship? I was on the cruise just before the drydock and you could definitely tell the unevenness -one azipod was working fine and the other (starboard side) was not.

ArubaGal Posted April 23, 2018 #56 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I agree, definite signs of aging. But it is not detracting from experience. The food in the MDR has been excellent and the staff great Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fogfog Posted April 24, 2018 #57 Share Posted April 24, 2018 How is she doing? We read she has a scheduled dry-dock for many upgrades in the fall. We sure hope that happens because we have a TA booked for April 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb1403 Posted April 24, 2018 #58 Share Posted April 24, 2018 We saw on a FB post today that there is an outbreak of norovirus on this sailing. We were supposed to be on this sailing but had to cancel due to health issues, fortunately we always have insurance. We were on the Century in 2007 with the same issue:(. Not fun!

I doubt that the Norovirus is a result of the drydock.....it can happen on any cruise and usually caused by a passenger bringing it on board. Actually, I'd be very surprised if didn't do a deep clean of kitchen and serving areas. That's one of the tasks that the crew generally does during drydocks.....

I checked with the poster and she replied she is currently on the Infinity. She also added the schedule said “if you are feeling ill, don’t come to the medical facility. Stay in your room and call. The staff is spraying everywhere. “ I will try and post a photo of her post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTEACH281 Posted April 26, 2018 #67 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Currently onboard the Infinity. Got letters in cabin from captain several days ago about norovirus onboard. Much sanitizing of surfaces with strong smell, hand sanitizer everywhere. No self service of anything...not just on buffets , but also drink stations and at dinner , bread and butter placed on your plate along with paper packets of salt and pepper. This morning, the library books were locked up and guests requested to check out books at passenger services (?) not sure how that'll work... lines move slower at buffets, do feel sorry for staff as they are running around nonstop. Do understand it's to keep it from spreading.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am doing this on a tablet and cannot copy and paste from the FB post. I also saw a screenshot from a gentleman who is going on the Infinity on the Westbound PC cruise next week. They have been advised to arrive for an afternoon boarding due to cleaning of the ship because a small percentage of guests suffered from gastrointestinal illness.

I watched you through the Canal yesterday and now I can't wait until we get to do it next on May 7th! Quick question - since this is. 15 night cruise, do you have 3 Evening Chic nights? I'm starting my packing today and that would be good to know. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTEACH281 Posted April 28, 2018 #70 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Yes, three elegant nights ....but elegant is stretching it. Been very casual all the time. And...seriously probably too much TMI... but bring extra underwear... it's so hot and humid that you'll go through two sets in a day. ... seriously.

That's the kind of packing hints I would appreciate :evilsmile::evilsmile: Wow! Thanks for the heads up! I’m expecting the heat and the humidity, didn’t plan for 3 dressy evenings.

XTEACH281 Posted April 29, 2018 #75 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Great 411. That's where being elite and up is nice. Free wash and fold laundry. The return rate on the free elite bag of laundry was if it was left in the morning , it was returned the next day in the evening. Friends who paid for laundry got it back a little quicker. Elite breakfast has been held in the Tuscan Grill ( and served to you since the norovirus outbreak) and daily cocktail time was held up in the Constellation lounge .
