Trip Bacon β€” The secret ingredient to the perfect getaway logo

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators evaluate the experience of booking a last minute, budget friendly cruise on the Celebrity Infinity, a twenty four year old ship. They compare this older vessel to modern flagship ships to determine if the cost savings are worth the potential drawbacks of an aging ship and off season weather. The review covers various aspects of the voyage, including cabin conditions, which they describe as dated with analog features and limited technology, and the ship's public facilities. They note that older ships often provide more spacious deck areas and observation lounges compared to newer vessels. While the food quality in the main dining room remains high, the creators express frustration with the dining reservation system. They conclude that midsize, older ships are an excellent choice for travelers seeking a quiet, relaxed, and less crowded environment, provided they are comfortable with older amenities and lack of high tech features.
