I was on another Cruise booking site and on some of these cruises they were offering balconies and other categories (just not Suite or above), then again I did not try to book through them so their information may have been out of date.

blackfly Posted January 13, 2022 #54 Share Posted January 13, 2022 My TA called Celebrity and inquired as to the status of Infinity. All they would tell her is that at some point she will be scheduled for dry dock but that no date has been set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The soft furnishings were already in stock, the dry dock work to the hull was essential for certification and insurance purposes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zitsky Posted January 13, 2022 #56 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Well we know that Eclipse is taking over from Infinity in South America. Maybe there are other ships in Europe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather sail in an old FV than an IV on an Edge class So right, I would take an FV on M class over the CS on M class any time. I had one on a NE/Canada cruite on deck 8 and wow that was great.

I recall noting "Granted, much of the materiel may have been warehoused in anticipation of a revolutionizing job, but the labor alone to do this job must have been considerable." Further, not all of the scheduled mechanical work was directed toward certification or insurance. If you will recall, had time permitted, there was even a hydroblast and paint job scheduled... in X colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremiah1212 Posted January 13, 2022 #60 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Just like with every other impending change or scheduling oddity, calling the reservations line will get you no answers. Those people find out essentially the same time guest letters start going out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're supposed to be on Infinity for Antarctica in Feb 23. I don't know exact dates of the cutover. I know that I was waiting for the X South America schedule for 2023-2024. Cruises were published recently. I'm on the Dec 23, 2023 Patagonia cruise. I was expecting the Infinity, but it turned out to be the Eclipse. I'm pretty happy. I think it's an improvement.

curmudgeon98 Posted January 13, 2022 #62 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I liked the itineraries for the Infinity spring 22 sailings, but I've regarded the odds of actually sailing as fairly slim. I was also a bit concerned about going on the first restart trips on a ship which seems like it would be the bottom of Celebrity's priorities.

Rare foodsvcmgr Posted January 14, 2022 #66 Share Posted January 14, 2022 With all the uncertainty I will be booking my air through Celebrity to avoid adding to my collection of airline vouchers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShoot Posted January 14, 2022 #67 Share Posted January 14, 2022 We are on for 20 Oct out of Barcelona for 11 nights. We booked the same in 2020 and it was cancelled. I would be very unhappy and disappointed if Celebrity cancel this for anything other than a new outbreak/variant situation where they have no choice. I look at it this way. Both us and Celebrity take a risk here. They put a cruise out and we support them by taking up the risk with them. If they can just willy nilly cancel, sell ships, refurb ships etc then why can a passenger not do it when they feel like it ? Its a contract in my mind .. an undertaking in good faith .... I will demand my full deposit back and Celebrity will not see me again ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phe8800 Posted January 14, 2022 #68 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I asked Celebrity, and was told today, that: “We inform you that in this moment we do not have a official communication regarding this topic. The cruise is confirmed for this moment. If will be new information regarding this topic, please be aware that you will receive a notification by email regarding this.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zitsky Posted January 14, 2022 #71 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I’ve had two cruises canceled in ‘19 and ‘20. Not a heavy cruiser. Still hoping to do Lisbon Oct 2022 on Infinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s too old and not refurbed. But I just want to cruise. I’ll be happy on the Infinity if that is what X wants to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spif Barwunkel Posted January 14, 2022 #74 Share Posted January 14, 2022 This does not take away from the mystery of it all. Infinity still shows a full complement of available bookings, both Europe and South America/Antarctica sailings, now through November 2023. It would seem all is well. Dare we rock the boat anymore? I am certainly planning on Barcelona to Venice in April '22 and Antarctica in February '23. A celebratory Bluefish Martini in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
