Great itinerary, staff, food and ship. Despite the COVID nonsense, we had a good time. We enjoyed the schedule and especially the service and quality in the dining room. The COVID trackers they issued us were left in the room. The pre boarding testing was stupid given our vaccinations.
Patmos was an unexpected gem. We had wanted to visit Ephesus again but Patmos was a nice alternative. ...
We wanted to try something different from the big boats cruises and this was extremely satisfying!
1. Junior Suite with balcony - exactly what we needed. Large enough and kept very clean by the staff.
2. The ship small (under 1,000 passengers, I guess), but well kept and maintained.
3. The restaurants above all our expectations. By the way, don't miss the small a la carte restaurant (how ...

excursions and itinerary excellent, the food is poor, staff is excellent and helpful,

Amenities need a lot of improvement
Only 1 dining room open
Pre cruise communication ...
We are glad to find you all here, even if it's just virtual. I participated, together with my wife, on the cruise from 29.04 to 06.05.2019 with Celestyal Cristal.

The vessel is small enough, it is neither new nor modern, but that does not matter because this vessel has a team that provides ...
Amazing entertainment team and activities, tasty food and friendly staff. Would definitely visit again. All destinations were really nice as well as the excursions. I enjoyed it a lot. Most negative reviews are from old people who always complain about the slightest thing. There are things to do for everyone on this ship and you will certainly not get bored. Pool is kind of small though. Room ...
The Celestyal Crystal ain't no Queen Mary or Queen Elizabeth (but nor are you paying their fares!), not of their ilk is the CC. It is however an old girl pretty efficiently run with a seemingly happy and friendly crew who all work damn hard and probably get little sleep.
The ship itself has been on the water for many a year and the fabric and finish is showing signs of wear and tear and is not ...
This was a cruise booked for a group of 42 of us. The ship was smaller than most cruise ships and therefore, much more movement than expected (6 floors).
Our cabin was located above the motor, 5th from the back, and all items were vibrating on the table as we sailed. I had to sleep with my head at the foot of the bed. The food was so sub par, there were times when the food would actually run ...
