Review for a Africa Cruise on Crystal Symphony

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

I just had the time of my life on this cruise. I am a 60-something widow and this is my first cruise sailing solo since my husband passed. He and I had sailed Crystal six times, on all three ships, and loved it. I chose this cruise because I was happy to see Crystal come back, Iceland is on the bucket list, and, well, it was time to get back out there traveling. I flew to Reykjavik two days ...
