Just got back from the two week RT Hawaii cruise on the Infinity. Can't say it was a very good cruise. This was my first time on Celebrity. I have previously cruised with RC and Carnival.

I was disappointed with the food at the main dining and casual eateries. I was tempted to try the SS United States, but did not do so. Maybe I should have,but at $30/person cover charge.. I ending up passing. Service was fair overall on board. Some didn't seem to be happy serving on board. Room attendants were good though.

Weather was rough a couple days on the seas. We we prepared w/ Seaband and meclizine. But my wife was feeling it bad.

The onboard disembarkation process was a mess. It took hours to get off the ship. I overheard at least four other partys state that it was the longest disembarkation they've ever had. Not necessarily Celebrity's fault, but there was a huge bottleneck w/ the immigration/Customs process. Darn Jones Act.

Not sure if I'd cruise Celebrity again. I had high expectations, considering this was supposed to be a "premium" cruise line. I think the low quality of the food really did it for me. Pastries and desserts--at the Cove cafe--were pretty good though. But it was not enough to compensate for everything else.

Food: poor
Service: fair
Entertainment: fair
Value: poor
Overall: poor
