Silver Galapagos Review
Great Galapagos expedition - not so great Silversea cruise ship
Rating by category
Additional details
The good part: The Galapagos expedition team was superb w excellent lectures and informative land tours. They were extremely solicitous of everyone and enthusiastic. Wildlife was amazing. There are multiple expeditions each day w varying levels of intensity. I learned to appreciate the very early start of the land tours given the heat of mid-day at the equator.
Also good: Silversea was amazing w the travel connections and transfers to various hotels, transportation modes, and airports. They saved us hours of time and never failed to show up as promised. We were truly impressed and pleased.
The not so good: I found the food bland and unappetizing after just three days. With only one port stop, there was no opportunity to escape the routine until the next to last day when we had a wonderful onshore meal.
Cabin Review
Cabin: Roomy, bathroom and shower tiny but good, very noisy (we were right next to a ship work area at waterline). Some stains on carpet but overall it seems clean and okay. The air conditioning might have been sufficient in Alaska but not at the equator.
