Enjoyable Cruise by pokanadeau

Sail date: Feb 16, 2024 / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Crystal Symphony

This was a great cruise overall for our first trip to Asia. However due to the negative experiences noted in this review, it is not likely that we will book another Crystal Cruise anytime in the foreseeable future.

Delightful cruise--the Crystal Experience is (almost) back by CrystalBill

Sail date: Sep 26, 2023 / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Crystal Symphony

Crystal is getting there, but still has some glitches compared to the last cruises in Jan 2021 (we were on the Symphony on its last sailing). Having first sailed on Crystal in May 1994--and proudly watched as they continued their string of "best ship" wins for many years, Crystal will have to do a lot to ever get back there. It's going to be in the details (such as not keeping the aft decks clean), and returning to better meals, especially dinners. The Crystal of today is not even in the same league as the Crystal of yesteryear. The bright spot is that the staff is still the best!

Fantastic New Crystal Cruise by prwesmyles

Sail date: Sep 08, 2023 / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Crystal Symphony

It is wonderful to have Crystal back in operation. There is certainly no drop off in service and pampering. Their standards definitely surpass anything we’ve found on the seas or on land before. We’ve now rejoined the ship for another week around Italy and looking forward to another wonderful cruise.
