Ship cruising may be a new experience for some of us. Linda and I have cruised before but are certainly not experts, but we thought that the ideas and "To Do's" below might be useful for any of our fellow Pilgrims that have cruised with Celebrity.
Things you may consider doing in September:
Create an online account with Celebrity Cruise Line, you will need your Reservation number from the Magi > www.celebritycruises.com .
Once your account is set up you will want to review your information at > Manage Reservation. (see below)
Manage your Reservation section
Under Manage your Reservation you will be able to see your Stateroom number and assigned dining room and time. Generally, you will book your table (seating for 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10) daily unless you prefer to book dinner with the same people every night. If that is the case, you will need to contact Guest Services with the names and reservation number for each guest you want at your table. Specialty Restaurants are available at an additional cost. Linda and I are planning to be flexible on dining so we selected early dining (6:00 pm) in the Main Dining Room and will make reservation daily based on number of people we will be eating with. We understand that we may have to wait a bit to be seated each night with this approach.
Once you know your Stateroom Number you can review deck plans for the Infinity to get a sense of the Ship > https://www.celebritycruises.com/cruise-ships/celebrity-infinity/deck-plan
There are many You Tube videos that provide virtual tours and insights about the Infinity. I mention a few below or you can sample several and find ones you like. Understand that the Infinity is one of Celebrity’s oldest and smallest ship in its fleet so you will see some negative posts. While you are on You Tube you can also view videos about the ports we will be visiting.
Explore your Itinerary section
This tab provides our daily schedule and lets you explore possible excursions. You have the option for Ship sponsored excursions, other providers {booked separately with the Provider you have selected) and independent exploring. Linda and I have all our excursions planned and booked. I would be happy to share our schedule and planned excursions with anyone that is interested.
Before you Board section (Updated 15 Sept)
This tab provides information you will need to board the ship. We can now check in and you should do that as soon as possible.
Captain’s Club
You may want to join the Celebrity Captain’s Club just to make sure you get their newsletter and information about sales.
On Board Purchases – Excursions, Dining Packages etc.
We do have a credit card tied to our reservation. One card for both of us.
We purchased the upgraded drink package - selected premium because we like to have wine with dinner and coffee and juice additions this package provides (you can compare the two plans on the Celebrity website).
Linda has the upgraded WIFI package which works for us. We also use WhatsApp in Europe.
You Tube Videos – Search for Celebrity Infinity
There are numerous You Tube videos about the Infinity and the ports we will visit.
Some that we have viewed include, JJ Cruises, both the ship and ports; Irish Wanderer; Lauri and Gary Cruise and many more.
Download The Celebrity App
You will use the App on board so you may want to download and become familiar with the site.
