kathynorth Posted September 14, 2022 #29 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Thank you for the nice review. We're looking forward to our upcoming cruise on Infinity, so it's nice to have a preview. Can you tell me where you took that photo with all the conch shells? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a long, huge pile of them along the road next to what may have been a fisherman's house. They were mingled with some trash, but there were so many and so beautiful I had to get a shot of them. Enjoy your cruise, I know you'll love the Infinity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be banging the captain's door down if I had what you experienced. We board in a couple of weeks, and I'm going to be extremely upset if I have a warm cabin. I sure hope not as I'm looking forward to the cruise. The a/c is worrying me too now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Germancruiser Posted September 14, 2022 #33 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Thank you so much for that wonderful review with those awesome pictures. I am boarding Infinity on October 8th. So it was especially interessting for me. Millenium Class ships are still my favorite ships of X. So I will cruise them as long we have the chance to so as i fear they are in the twillight of her time with Celebrity! Tere- did you have to show a negative test before boarding? I am not quite sure if they still requiere it. Thank you very much indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current guidelines are if you are "fully vaccinated" for less than 10 day cruises you do not need a negative test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it seems some people in comments have said it was good, and some not. Might depend on location as some sections might be having issues and some not. I'm not sure what I will do if we can get the temp down around 72 or lower in the cabin. I will have to talk to someone who will do something about it. Even just showering and getting ready for dinner in a warm room is miserable. We do take fans with us now on every cruise just to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDPCruisers Posted September 14, 2022 #36 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Very much appreciate the detailed review! We are on Infinity Oct 1-8 (yes, going to be too short as we're usually on 10 days or longer!). Read some other recent reviews and thought the a/c issues were corrected from the first few return to service cruises. Maybe, hit or miss depending on the cabin? Interesting that some folks pay $60 and some $90 for a cart in Bimini (might be whoever is renting them on any given day). We are also going to rent a cart there to do some beach bar hopping, any recommendations from those that have done so? Any other thoughts from those that have been on recently is appreciate, particularly if you have stayed in a Celebrity Suite and how you found the condition, etc?

Rare PTC DAWG Posted September 14, 2022 #39 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Nice review, I would said something about the AC for sure…could have been someone near you with an open balcony door, it can make a huge difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted September 14, 2022 #40 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Enjoyable review..easy to follow and lovely photos at the end. On our last Infinity cruise the cabin environment was sub par... A/C cut out several times in the cabin at inconvenient times and in the hallway..poor air quality. Mildew in shower and on shower curtain...awful, clorox smell. Flooded ( sewer smell) cabins down the hall.. fans blowing all day. A Great ship which needs a full re-do..not just cosmetic makeover. Glad you were able to overcome the downsides! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you were able to overcome the downsides! Unless it's something I just can't live with, I don't complain, that's exhausting to me. Had we not had the fan, I would have complained. I didn't see any mildew. I did notice a sewery odor when walking down the passage of the cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDShawnee Posted September 15, 2022 #43 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I would like to know how the A/C was in the public areas please; MDR, Theater, Lounges. I've seen a number of complaints about some of the cabins, but not noticed any comments about the public areas. I am packing for our Infinity cruise that starts in three days, and if the whole ship is going to warm, that will alter the type of evening wear I bring, as those areas are usually kept pleasantly cool. Thank you for your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Germancruiser Posted September 15, 2022 #44 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Thank you for your answers- yes I am indeed fully vaccinated- boostered even- waiting for the 4th shot. So we seem not to need a test prior cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One you take with you, or did you ask for it on the ship. Sorry if I missed that information earlier.... Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we can fit a fan into our luggage, but perhaps after flying to the departure port we can purchase an inexpensive one before boarding and stick a luggage tag on it. We'll just donate it to the cruise line after the cruise; we've done such things before and the ship donates to one of the charities when we vacate the cabin.

kywildcatfanone Posted September 15, 2022 #48 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) I wonder if the A/C issues are mostly balcony cabins. I know with all the glass and the opening and closing of the doors, etc. We are in an inside cabin, and we generally have had better luck with the A/C keeping the room cooler in inside cabins than balconies, but our experience is only with Princess and not Celebrity.

It varies from ship to ship, I never know the size we'll get. Sorry...I think this was for Doug. Edited September 17, 2022 by Terre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
