"Better than ever"?

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Crystal Serenity

Crystal is my "go to" luxury cruise line. Having been on >50 cruises all together. I have always been totally impressed with the Enrichment, entertainment food and crew. I have also been labeled as someone with "high standards". The words that you often hear about the new crystal is "better than ever". My previous crystal cruises I have rated as A-A+! This one roundtrip Miami on Serenity was IMO a ...

In October 2023, my wife and I took the Crystal Serenity’s 12-day cruise along the east coast of Canada and the United States. We’ve frequently cruised on this ship since 2010. Though the Crystal Serenity is now on its third owner, it’s better than ever. I rate this cruise as outstanding (an overall “5” on a scale of 5). My score is based on the high quality of (1) remodeled, enlarged ...

Crystal was our first choice of cruise line before Covid, and in fact, we were on Crystal Symphony when Covid stopped us from landing in many ports before finally ending up in Singapore. Even during that experience waiting to find out when and where we could disembark, Crystal staff all the way up to the Captain kept us up to date with the news and port prospects. Crystal Symphony was the most ...

We had sailed on the Symphony prior to the pandemic and were extremely pleased with it. We booked this cruise expecting to continue our feelings towards Crystal. The entertainment, lectures, art class, spa, butler, room attendants, dining in Osteria and uni uma all met these high expectations. Dining in the Marketplace was generally good but there were some mishaps. Our overall cruise was severely ...

We wanted to see the fall foliage and get back to sailing on Crystal. The cruise exceeded our expectations. The ship has been updated and was in great shape. Our Junior Penthouse was comfortable, well-appointed and filled with every luxury we wanted. The service on Serenity was top-notch. From the moment we boarded the ship we felt like were home. The embarkation was smooth and seamless. We ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

This cruise was the most wonderful experience! I loved every minute of it. From the luxurious linen in our gorgeous suite to the five star meals we enjoyed, the world class entertainment and interesting lectures this was an experience to treasure. We also enjoyed the workout room, ballroom dancing, lovely library, golf lessons and our daily soak in the hot tub. The excursions were interesting as ...

I chose this cruise because I have heard great things about it in the past and wanted to give it a try. I was blown away and I will never be able to sail a normal cruise ship again! The rooms are huge, the staff is on top of their game and super friendly. The ship design and finishings are top-notch. I enjoyed the entertainment on board, from Broadway including Rent to the Elton John tribute ...

Shakedown Cruise of the "new" Symphony

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We wanted to try a shorter Crystal cruise in anticipation of a planned 2024 partial world cruise and were generally quite satisfied with the rebirth of our favorite cruise line. Sure, there were some shortcomings that one ought to expect on a shakedown cruise--the pool wasn't finished until the third day, TV was unworkable, water was turned off for one five-hour announced period, etc. However, ...

The "New" Crystal Serenity Makes a Grand Entrance With a trans-Atlantic crossing to the New World

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Crystal Serenity

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

The “New” Crystal Serenity comes to the New World in a trans-Atlantic crossing that began in Britain and ended in Quebec. Are you a past Crystal guest who wants to know: What’s different? What’s new? What’s better, what’s worse? If you don’t feel like reading a long report, then you can settle for a one-sentence summary: WITH VERY FEW EXCEPTIONS THE “NEW” CRYSTAL SERENITY IS AS ...
