silver sea or lindblad for galapagos -is all food bad on these trips?

[Herman The Cat]

DW has seen the pictures of the refurbished SG and still feels that the warmth of the original wood was nicer than the company wide greys and beiges that are now on SG. The removal of the large mirrors also seems to make the suites look smaller.

 

As far as the food, once again, it can be luck of the draw regarding the chef. DW had a really great chef on the first week's cruise and then it changed to a passable chef for the second week. Lots and lots of lobster. Lunch and dinner were pretty equal. Dinner, of course, was sit down. Dinner was late, to give everyone a chance to change after doing the afternoon excursion. The hot rock cooking worked well, but you must understand that things are informal. You should not try and compare everything to the regular SS cruise ships, or you will be disappointed. DW is VERY picky about food and had no complaints

 

We booked her air separately and used SS for the hotels and transfers. She did get an extra night in Quito as an SS add on. It was less costly that way than doing it herself. No trip to Machu Picchu. Transfers were handled quite well.

 

Thanks so much for the feedback. I think my expectations are in-line with what you mention above. Just wondering...did you book directly with Silversea or with your TA? It actually seems a bit complex in terms of flights, transfers, etc.

We booked on board a previous cruise and then used our TA.
