REINA SILVIA CRUISE REVIEWS
Veronica,
Thanks for reaching out for feedback so promptly. I am thrilled to tell you that the vacation was everything we had hoped for! Your assistance in some special arrangements and needs that we had was outstanding and so greatly appreciated.
The ship was very comfortable, immaculately taken care of, and so well staffed. On our second week, there were 8 passengers and 9 crew! Although this isn't the norm, we sure did get well taken care of by all! Our two week journey was certainly one of those trips that will always remain in your top 5 vacation memories. To say it was outstanding is an understatement! Oh, and the food... amazing! What a chef we had! The food was great variety and not even repeated from one week to the next. Delicious and great diversity is how I would describe the meals.
All of my friends and family will be hearing about this trip. If any decide to take such a trip, I will be sure to pass on your contact information.
The only disappointment of the trip was the Wyndham. It wasn't awful, but multiple small mistakes and service issues add up when you're only there for 6 hours. I would not recommend this hotel to your clients. The SwissHotel was absolutely outstanding and worth the drive back and forth. Those folks treated us like royalty!
Thank you!! Suzanne (and Dean)

Lorena,
We are back home now from our trip and reflecting on our adventure you planned for us.
It was way beyond anything I could have imagined. So many beautiful and interesting places in Ecuador. From the beginning pickup at the airport with Jorge, to a wonderful, brilliant very professional guide, Marco, for our grand tour of the country. Our week aboard the Reina Silvia, the guide, Jose and crew were top notch. The trip to the rain forest, lodge, and guide.
Rodrigo were totally amazing. The places we stayed were magnificent, the food outstanding, people so very friendly and accommodating and every city had it's own charm. The history of your country is very interesting and I can see how you are growing and improving. I hope one day to return.
Thank you so very much for such a unique experience
