  1. You may want to try Viking Ocean. We really enjoy their ships after many Celebrity cruises.
  2. We were told by a Galapagos resident that May was the best month to go. The water for the most part was warm for our mid May Flora cruise. We had a regular Veranda and throughly enjoyed it. We are no longer fans of Celebrity after 30 cruises but this cruise was exceptional in every way.
  3. We just returned from an 11 night Inner Loop on Flora and of our 30 cruises it was by far the best. We were told by an Ecuadorian that May was the best month to go. It was absolutely seamless with a happy competent and helpful crew including the captain. The pre and post cruise experiences in Quito were top notch. I would highly recommend this cruise.
  4. Thanks so much. I kind of thought it would be that way.
  5. Thanks so for such an informative blog! We leave Wednesday for the 11 night Flora inner loop. I had a question on staying hydrated on the land excursions. Are there toilets available?
  6. I highly recommend Orchids at the Halekalani for lunch. If you're there for the evening see the show at the "House Without a Key". Their Haupia Cake is to die for.
  7. Best poke at Foodland! We get it all the time.
  8. Definitely go to the hotel manager. You paid too much to put up with these intolerable conditions. We went to the Retreat Manager and glad we did.
  9. Couldn't agree more regarding Kelly Hoppen!
  10. BTW Viking Ocean is an adult only, (ages 18 and over) cruise line.
  11. Celebrity clearly doesn't encourage dining on your balcony. We certainly didn't on our last Beyond cruise in a Sky Suite. 😣
  12. The Filet was available every night upon request on Beyond during our TA of October 2023.
  13. The single supplement sounds standard however if she didn't book on board the 15 months is unfortunately Viking's policy. The alternative would have been for you to book her cruise also to get the 6 month balance due benefit.
  14. Left for Viking Ocean after 25+ Celebrity cruises.
  15. We're in the same category as Mr T with 25+ Celebrity cruises and for same reasons defined above plus dishonest pricing practices, (IMHO) have 4 future cruises booked with Viking.
  16. Recently cruised on Beyond ate at Eden and the food was excellent but lacked the flair it use to have. Had a birthday dinner at La Voyage for my DW and was definitely the highlight for dining on the cruise. Considering the cost it should be the best.
  17. Unfortunately we had both of these issues on Beyond's most recent TA. Our cabin was a SS adjacent to the forward elevators and my DW commented on the musty smell upon our initial entry. The real problem started that night however with creaking emanating from all four walls keeping us awake for the 14 night cruise. How Celebrity accepted this ship after sea trials is "Beyond" me. What a shame as it's a beautiful ship.
  18. Celebrity has problems with the truth. They are constantly misrepresenting their supposed sales. My wife and I have 25 cruises with Celebrity and after seeing multiple recent deceptions on pricing we switched to Viking.
  19. You just described Viking. We tried Viking Ocean recently and loved it and will have our 4th over Christmas and New Year.
