Our trip to the Galápagos Islands was outstanding. The ship was wonderful in every respect. With only 96 passengers there is lots of individual attention. This is not a fancy dress up cruise but one for those who love nature and the outdoors. Outstanding opportunities for nature photography! The naturalists were so friendly and well informed and we enjoyed the company of our fellow passengers. This proved to be strenuous trip, lots of tough walking over uneven terrain but well worth it. This is definitely a great way to cover lots of the islands easily. Everything was extremely efficient and well organized to maximize our experience. We definitely recommend the outdoor dining under the stars as a wonderful experience! Well done Celebrity! We enjoyed all our dining experiences including a chance to try some Ecuadoran specialties. A highlight was the barbecue lunch on deck. As for entertainment, karaoke was a lot of fun. Not really entertainment, but a highlight was the opportunity to talk in small groups with the naturalists to hear about their backgrounds and experiences.

Our only bad experience was with American Airlines getting to Quito. They were absolutely a nightmare to deal with so recommend using another airline if you have options.

Clean, comfortable and ample space. Not luxurious but certainly comfortable and roomy enough for two people.
