Onboard the NEW Infinity

Boarded the shiny new Infinity an hour ago. We really thought that perhaps the cabins would be ready (since no pax are disembarking!), but alas, no such luck. She is very shiny though, with lots of new carpetting hroughout. I will post more once we settle in and have a chance to explore....

Strange note, when we arrive at Port Everglades at 11:15, there were NO porters here. We only had roll-ons, so not a problem, but kinda weird!

Can you post details about the changes please?

Bon Voyage!

Yes, I will post more. Quick observation about the Lido. Went through the salad bar, and it has new "sneeze guards" (which is good), BUT.... the opening is very low, and you almost cannot reach the items in the back. (Think bending and stooping.) Also, after my salad was made, I looked for the dressings. They were at the BEGINNING of the items! Now, I'm backing up, and cutting in between people. Hmmmm.... kinda dumb, that is.

Still awaiting for cabins to open.... I find this an annoying feature on Celebrity's part.

Oh well, the wine is good.....

Yes, I am well aware of that. Feel free to ignore...

Nice, new balcony furniture. The chairs are not the low-slung ones of previous, but a bit higher. Still mesh, still adjustable, but now more of "table height" for dining on the balcony. Nice improvement!

bon voyage!

thanks!!

Solarium is just lovely! Very light and bright, with subtle artwork, and light faux teak decking. The wooden loungers are only on starboard side, with wood tables and chairs on port side to accommodate the Aqua Spa Cafe. Very nice feel in here....

Thanks for the updates. We will be sailing on her for 6 weeks in February, so excited to hear about the changes.

The perils of sailing after dry dock.... Ocean View bar closed currently, and "sunk" our sailaway gathering. Other bars very crowded, but we managed to meetup anyway!

Greet to read your updates we are on infinity on 5/11 for Panama Canal trip and was concerned when I read changes were being made.

We are sailing Infinity in 3 weeks on November 20th and wondering if MUTS will be open by then?

YIKES!!! Whoever screwed THAT one up needs to be keel hauled! :eek: :p :D

Glad you were able to work around it... how big was your roll call group? Please send more updates!

The last press release said Dec 5th.

Thanks for your posts. Please keep them coming if possible. We are due to board in 36 days. Our first cruise on the Infinity.

I hope they didn't change these two features. I much prefer the M class solarium pools to the Solstice class solarium pools. And I love the big porthole window in the sauna.

I just put a deposit on a January 2017 sailing and was looking forward to enjoying that particular pool.

Is February extra long this year? ;)

Looking forward to reading (and seeing pictures) how the ship looks after being in dry dock. We will be on the Infinity Jan 17th in S. America.

Here's a bunch of interesting photosFrom dry docks that I just came across on Facebook:

Not excited about movie screen at all ! We are booked in cabin AQ 1122 in May. Booked cabin for peace and quiet ??? We will see. Would love to hear feedback on AQ deck 11 noise.

We are booked in a RS for our Panama Canal Cruise. Very interested in seeing the updated suite and new Tuscan menus. Hope we have the new menus on our Eclipse cruise.
