We knew we would love the Galapagos, but we didn't know how much! My husband, my son and I shared cabin XS 500 on Xpedition and had a fantastic time. The ship focused on the activities, including snorkeling and hiking and we packed activities into each day. We were tired but happy when we got home. The crew and amenities were great and we feel we got good value for our money. I would go to the Galapagos on Celebrity again any time! We're planning Outer Loop for next time and we want to find a way to Scuba Dive, which we did not get to do with Xpedition. The ship itself was very small, with 96 passengers on our sailing. This was a great small ship experience, which enabled us to get to know our fellow passengers as well as getting to know crew members. We didn't spend much time doing any of the evening activities as we were tired and relaxed and wanted to check out our photos of the day and get ready for the next day. This is an active cruise, with alot of physical movement....up and down stairs, in and out of transport boats, up and down hills, in and out of wetsuits, in and out of the water, snorkeling, hiking, and not alot of sitting and watching the scenery go by.
