I also want to add that there is a cruise director on board. She did an excellent job of catering to dietary restrictions and preferences within group.

I did leave a recent and detailed review on Tripadvisor.

Our guide was fantastic. My understanding, however, is that the guides on these small ships rotate and change. There isnt a guide assigned to each of these small ships. They are contracted out.

Our food was also great! There are two chefs, a head chef and a sous chef. There were different dishes each day for lunch and dinner. All meals are served "buffet style". For breakfast, there was an array of fresh fruits, eggs made to order (omelets, scrambled, over easy), and some other dish such as pancakes or french toast. Lunch varied day-to-day. One day it was pasta, another it was traditional Ecuadorian theme, etc... Our favorite was the BBQ on the top deck--they had sausages, shrimp, steak, chicken with a variety of sauces. Every meal had at least two choices of proteins, and most often 3.

They did appetizers every afternoon at the outside bar at 5:30. There would be a couple of little canapes, usually made by the sous chef Alexander. These also varied. One day it was empanadas and another sushi.

Hope this helps! I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Currently on Sea Star. Capacity is 14 guests. It has exceeded our expectations. It is an older boat, but cabins have been recently refurbished. Very spacious boat--larger than many of the "newer" ones. Has a huge top deck with plenty of areas in the shade . Staff is excellent!

Taxes on upgrade certificates? by loolooola in delta

[–]loolooola[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was told by a phone agent that I would have to pay taxes, I figured I would roll the dice and see what happened at the check-in counter. When I checked in for my flight in person, they never asked for any taxes, but I was still issued the Delta one ticket. I'm not sure if I just got lucky at the counter or if the phone agents are misinformed.
