We have been on 2 CelebrityX cruises in the Galapagos. Flora is a great ship. For sure, get a balcony cabin. As far as Inner Loop vs. Outer Loop, that is a tough question. Each has some outstanding stops, and each has some less outstanding stops, with fewer animals. I’d like to do a 14 day cruise on Flora and do BOTH. For me, the snorkeling excursions were the highlights.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
We bought “cruise-only”. Met at the Baltra airport, got a COVID test and then waited for all the others from the charter flight. Too bad we couldn’t go to the ship.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
ALL drinks are included. There were as many as 7 entree choices each night. For an Excursion ship with only 65 passengers, this was remarkable. Food was great too.
Even room service food was on-time and tasty.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
On this itinerary, the activities are almost all “on shore”. Do not expect different.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Staff and nature guides were top-notch.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Ship was beautiful. Well designed and perfect for Galapagos.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
For an Expedition ship, this cabin was great. Nice balcony and a bed facing the water. Plenty of room for storage and very quiet.
Just got off the Apex for new years cruise... loved every bit... just booked Greece... Italy... and Egypt cruise on the Apex... Apex staff and ship is amazing
