Shifting gears slightly, we received cruise documents in which Silversea had incorrectly booked our flights on LATAM from Quito to San Cristobal for a week earlier than our cruise date. After informing Silversea of the error, we were booked on Tame for the correct date. We are concerned that we may not be traveling with most of the other Silver Galapagos passengers now, and that the airline seems to delay or cancel with unfortunate regularity due to recent corporate financial woes. Has anyone had experience with Tame?

Would you please comment on your observations of any motion sickness among the passengers during your cruise as well as the general need for insect repellent? We will be aboard the Silver Galapagos in June, and some in our party have been susceptible to motion sickness in rough open water. We have also heard that the biting insects can be daunting, but were trying to assess the need for heavy DEET formulations. Thanks much.

Many thanks 57 varieties and RachelG. If you have any other helpful tips you would be willing to share, we would be very grateful. This will be our first Silversea as well as Expedition experience. We have cruised with Regent several times (including the Paul Gauguin when it was under Regent operation).

We will be guests on the Silver Galapagos June 9-16, 2018. We an unclear from the cruise documentation (and unfortunately the customer service agents have been less than helpful) whether or not there is shipboard laundry service available. We understand there is no self-service laundry. Thanks.
