It is warmer January to May, but wetter March and April.

Thanks for the help. I did call Celebrity with all the 1 prompts but I ended up being transferred to Galapagos line and they confirmed 10 nights, but couldn't give me any email confirmation. And I do see the dates listed equal 10 days plus the itinerary at the bottom. That reassures me.

Anyone with a Galapagos cruise planned in 2025 or later on Xpedition or Xploration have problems switching their reservation to the Flora? I was in an oceanview stateroom and am excited to get to go on the newer ship with a bigger room. I wouldn't have spent that extra money. They put me in an infinite veranda. I had a 10 day northern loop booked and chose the 10 day inner loop, but on the website in my account it shows a 7 day inner loop. I called my travel agent (with my CC) and they said their system shows I have the 10 day package, but that doesn't show on my end. It makes me a little nervous.

I don't know. The walk down to this beach is fairly easy, just a small sandy slope in spots that they did tell us to go slow so we didn't slip. Do you think it might be due to transportation and not being able to do child safety seats? After the ferry, we rode in an open air bus/trolly type thing - similar to the taxis in St. Thomas. But still, you could probably go ages 3+ with that reasoning.

Sorry for the delay, I just saw my reply didn't go through. The company they used for the excursion brought in a portable toilet. They also arranged for a lady that comes in and sells hotdogs on the beach. It wasn't included in the price.

They brought in a portable toilet and a lady who set up a hot dog stand.

When we were planning our cruise there wasn't much information about this NCL excursion, so I thought I would share. Virgin Gorda Escape 4.5 hrs They took us by ferry to Spring Bay National Park. We had about 3 hours of free time. It is a beautiful uncrowded beach, very similar to the Baths but without the crowds. There were huge boulders around the shore with a few areas to walk through and some shallow pools. You could walk further for an even larger beach area. The snorkeling was great; the water was so clear. They bring in portable toilets and a lady who makes and sell hot dogs and chips. It is pricier but worth not having the crowds and being able to move at our own pace. We loved this excursion.

We were in Tortola in January from 8am-5pm and NCL offered something similar - Virgin Gorda Escape. It was listed as 4.5 hrs, with about 3 hours at Spring Bay National Park. It is uncrowded and practically identical to the Baths with the big boulders to walk around at the shore. I think they have their own ferry arranged. We loved this excursion!

@Ronaldo807 did you end up taking a Celebrity excursion? I am interested in hearing about the sailing. Was it a spacious boat? Do you sail long or is it mostly stopped at the beaches. I don't prefer hanging out on a crowded beach all day, but would love to be on the water and have a stop for a while on the beach.
