Review summary
The Celebrity Xpedition was an exceptional cruise with a great itinerary and overall amazing experience of the Galapagos natural ecosystem, of the land, the geological transformation, of the range of life-forms in the water, the birds and land-animals.
There are two areas of improvement recommended:
1. No smoking should be enforced. We were in the Penthouse Suite but a neighboring suite (602) had heavy smokers and their smoking was not curbed by the staff.
2. Some of the "naturalists" were not very knowledgeable and also were rude or unfriendly - very unlike normal Celebrity experience. Their boss was also grumpy, possibly unsuited for the job.

Thanks for the review AtiqRaza. We’re big fans of Celebrity Cruises and a Galapagos trip is definitely on our list! I would certainly expect high-quality naturalists and guides though.
