Sail Date: Sep 2015
Cabin: Deluxe Stateroom with Verandah

We've sailed Crystal quite a few times. The earlier cruises were great. However, since the new president took over, there have been cutbacks & disappointments all over . Quality of food has gone way down. Portion sizes have shrunk greatly . "all inclusive " is Totally bogus - just includes a few poor quality wines. Everything else, you have to pay for.

Service is good in some areas & nonexistent in others. Entertainment not what it used to be.

We have cruised about 40 times, on many cruise lines. This cruise was so overpriced for what we got, it was absurd.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Stateroom with Verandah

Cabin clean , but shows wear. Also, too small for the price.

NOT a " luxury ship" cabin.
