ATLgirl15 Posted July 27, 2016 #51 Share Posted July 27, 2016 We plan on doing the whale watching tour in Icy Point too. How big is the boat used for the ship excursion? I've read reviews that the smaller ones are better. Does it start shortly after porting or are there several time slots to choose from? I'm having a really hard time with Celebrity's website when it comes to excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Dancer Posted July 27, 2016 #52 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Mickey is a speaker. In Alaska he does a "real Alaska" series about the places you see and visit. History, flora:fauna, hikes, etc. he is also great with tech and photos and you can submit pics to him - if you do 3, you'll get a cd with all the participants pics at the end of the cruise. Beyond that, he's an awesome very interesting and approachable human! Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Mickey is awesome! We did a 7 week LA around the horn to NYC with him in 2013 and he really added to our trip with lots of information. How long is his contract for? Is his daughter Kinley sailing with him? Please tell him a South American cruiser said hello! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hnet999 Posted July 28, 2016 Author #53 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Re: Mickey and family. Both wife and daughter with him and he is a great resource of information. From camera setting to shoreside advise that doesn't seem/feel like pushing Celebrity excursions. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hnet999 Posted July 29, 2016 Author #57 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Sorry I've been light on posts. It's exhausting eating, drinking, and napping.

Rare NanaChar Posted July 31, 2016 #60 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Ate they offering A Taste of Film? If so if you try it out? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hnet999 Posted July 31, 2016 Author #61 Share Posted July 31, 2016 We watched movies on rooftop terrace on Monday and Saturday days at sea. But I didn't see the Taste of Film being offered as an event. We are having our final breakfast. Very sad! When I get home I will compile pictures and dailies and post a more complete review.

larches167 Posted July 31, 2016 #63 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Thanks for the updates. Love hearing about the infinity. We were on infinity Nov 2016 for Panama canal cruise & rooftop area was just being created. We are on Alaska & then B2b for Pacific coastal in sept 2017 on Infinity. She had just had some refurb with Tuscan grille added. We are concierge once again for these cruises and so interested to hear your updates.

phoenix_dream Posted July 31, 2016 #64 Share Posted July 31, 2016 My MUSTS for that cruise are:1. MickeyLive 2. Cafe al baccio at 4 pm 3. Silent Disco 4. HeliPad viewing of Hubbard glacier Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app You already clued me in on what MickeyLive is - but what is Silent Disco? 31 Celebrity cruises and I have never heard of it!

DanaDanes Posted July 31, 2016 #65 Share Posted July 31, 2016 You already clued me in on what MickeyLive is - but what is Silent Disco? 31 Celebrity cruises and I have never heard of it! From my review of this ship in June: Silent Disco: this was SO MUCH FUN. it's in the martini bar, the dj sets up and hands around headphones. You can select a channel from 3: Latin dance, 60s-2000s hits, or current music (last 3 years or so). Your headphones glow based on your channel. Then everybody just danced. Like fools, like no one is watching. I have no idea why this concept works, it sounds horrible. But everyone loved it. I danced with a 10 year old boy. I danced with a 90 year old woman with a cane. I line danced with stockbrokers and with Indian women in saris. It was truly truly awesome. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h20cruzer Posted August 1, 2016 #67 Share Posted August 1, 2016 This is just what I needed!!!! I will,be on the Infinity seven weeks from today for the pacific costal. Any chance you could recall any of the bartender names at the Martini Bar? Norma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hnet999 Posted August 2, 2016 Author #68 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The silent disco was so fun and funny! I have pictures that I will add to my more comprehensive review ... which I will post as soon as I get caught up on work missed while away. I have funny pictures and videos of people dancing, is there a Cruise Critic board policy about posting pictures that include others passengers on the cruise?

Jill01 Posted August 2, 2016 #71 Share Posted August 2, 2016 We are on this cruise in just under 3 weeks, how many 'chic' nights are there 1 or 2? Trying to think what to pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix_dream Posted August 3, 2016 #75 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I was on the same cruise. There was only 1 chic night and it was on the 2nd night of the cruise. Only one chic night on a 7 night cruise? You were there and I wasn't so not suggesting you are wrong, but this is very unusual. To date, my understanding (and experience) is that chic nights replaced the old formal nights which were always twice per 7 night cruise. I wonder if for some reason that particular sailing was different? I would personally still plan for 2 chic nights on a 7 night cruise just in case (for me that 'planning' may just involve wearing the same outfit as the first time:)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
