Vessel: Infinity







Operator: Celebrity Cruises







Complement: 2032







Last Maui Visit: April 9-10, 2005







Last Center for Disease



Control Inspection: Dec. 11, 2004







Score: 96 out of 100







Go to the Celebrity Cruises website (www.celebrity.com) and you’ll find that their 91,000 ton Infinity “is steeped in prestige and elegance”; “consistently makes a long-lasting, luxurious impression” and “resonates with rich marble and wood accents and signature Celebrity style.” She certainly made an impression with CDC inspectors last December. While they did award her a handsome score, they also found a few blemishes on that signature Celebrity style. Like the way staff was storing serving tongs in a glass of water over at the Deck 10 pool bar. The pool bar pantry dishwasher also hadn’t been using water that was hot enough since mid-November. Then there was the way the Ocean Bar staff would stow open bottles of wine with the beer kegs in the undercounter refrigerator. And who could forget the “moldy flat of mushrooms” noted in the vegetable refrigeration room. Very luxurious indeed.
