Main Dining Info
The food onboard the Celebrity Flora is excellent but because of the cruise being in the Galapagos islands, there are a few laws in place that affects the food on offer. There are Ecuadorian regulations in lace, which means you can't bring fruit with seeds on board. You will have plenty of locally grown watermelon, papaya, melon and pineapple though. Also, beef on board must be cooked and frozen and then defrosted, which may affect the burgers and steak on board. There is however plenty of tasty seafood and vegetarian options available.
