7 night Galapogos Outer Loop trip / October 14th thru October 21st

October

Pros: A + !!!!!

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

This was the first time my husband and I had ever booked a Celebrity cruise. We have taken numerous cruises over the years on other cruise lines but this one was by far the best we have ever taken. It was an all inclusive trip and from the moment we arrived in Quito until we left, we were treated like royalty. A trip to the Galapagos has been on my bucket list since I was in my early 20's and this trip was the dream come true. I especially wish to commend Andrea Mugge, Captain Pacheco, and Juan Diaz. ALL of the guides were excellent and we learned much about these unique islands from them. Every member of your staff we met was exceptional. Thanks for a very memorable experience.

great trip

May

Pros: The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. Beautiful scenery. Loved the copy of all the pictures the naturalists took. Great food. Not a lot of entertainment but after a day of kijing on lava and boulders it was good to go to bed.

Cons: The climbs off the zodiac was really difficult at times. Walking on the lava is also difficult. When a person signs up it should be made clear that you need water shoes for the beach landings and that the dry landing are very difficult.

Recommended: Yes

In spite of the above we had a fabulous time in a beautiful area of the world. Celebrety had everything very well organized from the pick up at the airport to the return to the airport at the end.

Best Vacation Ever

April

Pros: Exceptional ship ship experience, great food, exceptional service, attention to detail, land extension awesome, shore excursions exceptional, knowledgable naturalists

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

This is a trip in a lifetime. Celebrity does an exceptional job of catering to their clients and providing memorable experiences. The small ship experience provides personal attention and we now have friends for life. This type of vacation is jam packed with activities so understand that if you are exploring the Galapagos, be prepared for a high energy trip. The naturalists provide wonderful up close experiences and are extremely knowedgable. The post trip to Machu Picchu is not to be missed. The hotels and food was local and exceptional. All told, this was the best vacation ever.
