Additional details
It has taken me over a month from my return from the Galapagos on the Celebrity Xpedition to be able to think of sufficient words to describe this wonderful and unique cruise. My husband and I have done 44 cruises and this one has to rank up there in the top three.
We spent two nights either side of our cruise in the JW Marriott hotel in Quito, and this set the standard of our high expectations from Day 1. Organisation and planning was superb, even down to Celebrity reserving the VIP lounge for us at Baltra airport on our arrival after a two-hour flight from Quito.
I would not describe this trip as a 'cruise' as it was more of an expedition and adventure. There were 91 of us (the Xpedition holds 96 passengers) so everyone got to know everyone else very quickly on the week-long voyage.
Cabin Review
Ocean View Stateroom
Very comfortable and nicely decorated. Had a good-sized bathroom compared to other ships with a glass-fronted shower cubicle. Cabin stewardess put little 'treats' in the cabin for us, such as fresh fruit, canapés, prosecco and Ecuadorian dark chocolate as well as keeping it all immaculate. No complaints at all.
