We booked the 10 day cruise with Celebrity spending 3 nights in Quito at the Marriott and 7 nights on the Xpedition in the Galapagos. Celebrity took care of us from the time we stepped off the plane until it was time to get on the plane and head home.

We had a wonderful time in Quito. We arrived around 6:30 PM and entered Immigration and Customs. We spend almost 1 1/2 hours in the Immigration line. This was really frustrating. Everything had to be entered into the system by hand, and there were several flights arriving at the same time, and they only had 3 booths open.
