EMBARKATION: best one we have ever experienced. Checked in with group. Person at Quito with luggage marked for Silversea. We did not have to deal withh our luggage again until it arrived at our cabins. Fantastic people and very organized at the airport. When we arrived in Baltra they had a awaiting area for us with juice and a couple of light snacks. Within 10 minutes the zodiacs came and transported us to the ship.. I give them an A+ In this category.
CABINS: As has been reported before, the cabins are dark wood - no pictures or decoration. Layout of storage could be better, as drawer spaces are limited. Our first cabin was clean but had an odd closet set up in one of the closet.
There is not much room to store luggage as the bed is on a platform. Our butler finally moved the couch and put our luggage behind it. Before that it was sitting in front of the couch. In some cabins that is not possible due to the room configuration. However, there is plenty of space to move around.
Nice size, convenient location and plenty of room.
