Dining options for Infinity?

[ALadyNCal]

I can't get the search function to work right now [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_redface.gif[/img]

On the Millie (05/02) I don't recall any specialty restaurants really. I know there is the main dining room, the buffet, room service, poolside burgers, and a healthy dining spot near the spa.

Are those basically the same options for the Infinity?

Thanks [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif[/img]

Hi Lady - Cabo here.

There is indeed a specialty dining room on Infinity - a replica of the SS united States dining room. It's quite elegant and worth an extra $25 (or maybe $30 now) per person in my view. The service was wonderful and the piano player was quite good as well. Reservations required. a tip is not required, but you may do so if you feel you received service above and beyond.

Thre's also a more casual option on the buffet deck, which appears to be largely staffed by up and coming wait staff and maitre d's in training. Quality and selection was not quite up to the main dining room, but if you prefer not to get too dressed up - it might work for you. Reservations are required for this option (no extra charge, although we did leave a tip).

In general we found the Infinity main dining room to be just fine with excellent service from our waiter and asst waiter. Our sommelier was not as impressive.

The breakfast and lunch buffet was also quite good with very helpful service from the waiters who assisted DW and DMIL as needed.

Enjoy!!

Enjoy

There is also the S.S. United States which is the Specialty Restaurant. There is an additional charge for dining there. We enjoyed the food and service.

Thanks! Now I remember the specialty restaurant! We were so exhausted the night we ate there that it had slipped my mind.
