As avid independent travelers, my wife and I never thought we were cruise people. In fact we steadfastly resisted any suggestion of a cruise. Then the flyer arrived in the mail - we simply could not resist.
Our experience on the Crystal Serenity was absolutely impeccably perfect. All staff was extremely helpful and friendly - we felt like they were members of our family by the time we disembarked.
A few highlights:
The cabin is very well organized with huge amounts of storage space - more than we ever needed. Mini bar continuously stocked - and you can request bottles of your favorite hard alcohol (in our case a 1.5 of Bombay Sapphire).
Most comfortable bed we've ever slept in (besides our own which we have obsessively created) and perfect pillows. If the pillow isn't to your liking they have an entire menu of selections.
Bathrooms:
- wonderful dual sinks
- granite countertops and marble appointments
- full sized tub with wonderful water pressure in the shower
