Celebrity Infinity Staterooms

Passengers can choose from several different categories of staterooms: Inside, Ocean View, Veranda, Concierge Class, AquaClass and Suite. Then, within each are different setups at different price points, including larger configurations for families.

Beautifully designed, decorated, and appointed, all staterooms maximize the use of space. They are equipped with desks, safes, hair dryers, Wi-Fi Internet access, mini-fridges and flat-screen TV's that feature a range of satellite TV channels and several Celebrity Infinity Cruise Line channels.

Infinity's standard staterooms, from the least expensive insides to balcony staterooms, are well configured and nicely decorated with soft hues, elegant furnishings, rounded-end beds and comfortable seating options. Standard inside and outside staterooms come in at 170 square feet. Balconies add 38 square feet of outdoor space.

The Family Verandah staterooms are at 271 square feet with disproportionate 242-square-foot balconies. Sliding doors with translucent windows separate the master bedroom areas from the living areas, where the kiddos can bunk on pullout couches. The huge balconies each feature two lounge chairs and a table with two chairs.

Concierge Class staterooms measure 194 square feet with 54-square-foot balconies. Concierge passengers receive extra perks, including a pillow menu, daily fresh fruit, sparkling wine on embarkation day, hors d'oeuvres every afternoon, use of binoculars, Frette robes, Hansgrohe shower heads, handheld hair dryers, a Celebrity Cruises tote bag and expanded room service menus. Also included are the services of a concierge (who has a desk in the library), priority check-in, use of an exclusive pre-departure lounge with free coffee and juices, express luggage service, priority disembarkation, shoeshine service and main/specialty restaurant seating preference.

Infinity's AquaClass staterooms, added in November 2011, are the same size but come with different perks. In-stateroom amenities include daily delivery of bottled water and tea, an upgraded room service menu, pillow menu, extra toiletries (shower gel, lip balm), use of plush bathrobes and slippers, shoeshine service and a Hansgrohe shower panel. Additional services include priority check-in, express luggage delivery and priority disembarkation. Plus, AquaClass cruisers get exclusive spa privileges, such as complimentary passes to the Persian Garden steam and sauna room and a spa concierge who will arrange spa treatments and on-demand wellness programming. AquaClass passengers dine at Blu, an exclusive restaurant featuring "clean cuisine," for breakfast and dinner. While these passengers can choose to have dinner at the Trellis main dining room whenever they want (with the other flexible dining cruisers), they cannot bring non-AquaClass travelers into Blu. (This is a strict policy and worth noting if you're traveling in a group with people booked in a variety of stateroom categories.)

Celebrity Infinity features four basic types of suites:

Sky Suites come in at 251 square feet apiece, each with a 57-square-foot balcony. They're essentially just bigger staterooms with no separation between living and sleeping areas.

Eight Celebrity Suites -- each at 467 square feet with a 85-square-foot balcony -- are true suites with separate sleeping, living and dining areas. The eight Royal Suites are each 538 square feet with 195-square-foot balconies. Not only are there separate sleeping, living and dining spaces, but the spacious balconies each feature whirlpools and cushy lounge furniture.

The Penthouse Suites are each a whopping 1,432 square feet with 1,098-square-foot balconies. In each, you'll find a baby grand piano, butler's pantry, motorized drapes, entertainment centers, complimentary scotch and vodka, a master bath with a whirlpool tub and a second bathroom, and another whirlpool, bar and dining table on the balcony. Here is a photo of the massive balcony in the Penthouse Suite:

Stay in any of these suites, and you'll receive butler service; priority check-in, debarkation, tender service, restaurant seating and theater seating; afternoon canapes and tea service, and daily in-stateroom specialty coffee and fresh fruit; one or two complimentary specialty restaurant meals; full in-suite breakfast, lunch and dinner service; shoeshine service; Bulgari bath amenities (with extra products like shower gel and a nail kit); Hansgrohe showerheads and iPod/iPad docking stations; and a welcome bottle of sparkling wine. Passengers in the top suites, as well as other VIPs (as chosen by Celebrity's head office), have exclusive access to a VIP lounge in Michael's Club during the day. Tea, coffee and pastries are provided, as well as the services of a concierge. Happy hour, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., offers free drinks and hors d'ouevres.
