New ships are for people who want the latest in everything. Refurbished ships cost less than new builds. But all the cruise lines are hard pressed to start turning a profit ASAP. There are sales going on in order to get passengers back on/in ships. I'm trying to point out the new industry reality: cruises took a mega-nit during the pandemic.

I am NOT taking a swipe at Celebrity - in fact, I'm an X fan.

However: public areas are being deleted to "ship within a ship suites only use" plus spa redesign = Celebrity is downscaling what's included and trying to get passengers to upsell to spa and internet packages. Also, Cellar Masters will be transformed into a gastrobar and the spa will be totally redesigned.Ĭabins remain the same number and size but updated design and use which usually means built in USB and wifi improved within limits of "ship at sea/satellite". Additionally, Infinity will see the Main Dining Room redesigned with a lighter, airier decor Michael's Club will be transformed into the Retreat Lounge, exclusively for the use of suite passengers and a suites-only Retreat Sundeck will be added. Sister site Cruise Critic describes refurbishment as:Ĭelebrity will overhaul all staterooms, taking everything down to the steel and rebuilding with a new layout and design and refitting with RFID locks. You can click on the news header at this website: There have been ZERO cruises as yet after refurbishment.Īlthough scheduled for 2020, drydock was delayed by the pandemic until Feb/March 2021 and Caribbean cruises restart on Infinity June 2022.
