We chose to sail buenos to valparaiso, it afforded us good sailing days with daylight viewing of cape horn & beagle channel, from our starboard balcony.
Our 2nd cruise with celebrity, we enjoyed the variety of bars to party (silent disco) or chill.
We used the main dining room 4 nights of the 12, with our final night enjoying sushi on 5, sushi enhanced by the guidance of mohamed.

Antarctica has been on my bucket list for some time and this cruise met or even surpassed my expectations. The staff were amazing especially our efficient and attentive cabin steward and our waiters in the dining room. The food was excellent for the most part but I was a little disappointed with the buffet which we only frequented occasionally. This was our fourth Celebrity cruise and we always ...
We did the 2 day pre-cruise and 1 night post cruise stay at the JW Marriott in Quito. Our experience upon arrival at the Quito airport through being dropped off at the end of the trip was outstanding-taken care of every step of the way! We enjoyed a tour of Quito and visited the equator. Meals were included. There was a charter flight to take us to the Galapagos from Quito.
The ship, ...
I cannot say enough good things about the crew and naturalists aboard the Celebrity Xpedition. My husband and I were traveling together, and every experience was absolutely first rate. Traveling in the Galapagos is strenuous, and the crew on the Xpedition made every effort to be informative and to see to our comfort. 10/10 would do this trip again.
There were forty passengers aboard our ship, ...
This cruise was our 7th on Celebrity and 40th overall. We prefer Celebrity because of the older clientele and the amenities that came with the booking. This included over $500 in on-board credit, complimentary wi-fi, and gratuities. Both of us are in our mid-70s and very fit for our ages. This allows us to use the stairs and avoid the often crowded elevators and walk throughout the port areas ...
Sailed on Celebrity Silhouette to southern Caribbean in January 2024. Stayed in a Sky Suite which included the Retreat experience. This made our cruise REALLY special! Luminae restaurant for breakfast and dinner as well as sea days was wonderful. Staff would get items that were not on the menu. Our suite steward had our room cleaned perfectly twice a day. The Retreat Lounge was so exclusive ...
We selected Celebrity Flora for this once in a lifetime cruise and we were glad we did. Simply amazing trip. Food, service, educational briefings, and wildlife viewing were spectacular.
One or two points for those heading to the Galapagos on Flora. We had a difficult time packing and knowing what to bring. We wore hiking boots and were happy we did. On some islands they were the right choice ...
Boarding and First Impressions:
Embarking on the Celebrity Silhouette was a bit of a waiting game due to weather delays at Port Everglades, resulting in a two-hour postponement. However, the actual boarding process was commendably efficient, setting a positive tone despite the initial setback.
Stateroom Satisfaction - A Comfortable Retreat:
Our stateroom and Suite during the second ...
We have always dreamed of embarking on a Galapagos cruise holiday and an offer came up on ROL Cruises.
Flights were included from London via Amsterdam to Quito and outbound went smoothly.
The Celebrity representative met us at the airport and transported us to the very plush JW Marriott quito hotel, keeping us all entertained and informed throughout the journey.
After breakfast the next ...
It's hard to describe how amazing the Galapagos are or to put in words what a wonderful trip we had, but I'd encourage anyone thinking of going to do it! There are many ships to choose from and I think the Xploration was the perfect choice for us. We chose it because of size: the boat can hold 16 guests, but we were a group of only 13. We still had two naturalists on board, so that gave us a lot ...
