    The EB Hotel is where Celebrity was housing all guests on the first four cruises after they reopened in July. We stayed there and were VERY impressed. We had a huge suite. The restaurant is one of the best I have eaten in anywhere. Order any of the Ecuadorian dishes. They rock. We got a PCR test. 

    How long did it take to receive your PCR results? We have a flight that leaves at midnight  on disembarkation day. Thanks

    Sunday… pretty uneventful travel day. Of course, the morning was spent saying our goodbyes to the fantastic crew. We all agreed that we are spoiled for any future cruises. Not one complaint to be heard. 
    So, we boarded tenders at around 11:15 to the dock where we were met for the transfer to Baltra airport. We and one other couple were randomly called for a security check of our luggage. We had to go outside the airport and the baggage handlers/security went through our checked bag. No problem.

    Once we passed through passport check, we went to the VIP lounge. (It was a Priority Pass Lounge, but no complimentary alcoholic beverages.) They had some snacks and juices and alcohol could be purchased. It was a long wait, 3 or 4 hours, I think. There were lots of little shops too.

    After landing in Quito, we were separated into groups. People leaving tonight or early tomorrow, were taken to the EB Hotel (I think 5 couples). The rest of us came to the JW Marriott and arrived around 6:30 this evening. Upon arrival, we were assigned our rooms and given the time for our Covid test. Our time was 7:00. Everyone was told to come back at 9:00 pm for results. In between, we were free to go to dinner. No specific time, but we all pretty much were there at the same time. They had a private room set up for us and it was nice with a pianist playing the entire time. 
    Everyone tested negative, so that was good news, although expected.

    Thank you for the wonderful updates of your travels. I am going in Nov. and leaving late at night on the day we returned. What is EB hotel?  Also which test did they give you? I need a PCR test to get back into Canada.

    Thank
