Review summary

We are seasoned cruisers but this is the first time we’ve sailed Crystal. Pricier than most cruiselines so I waited for a good itinerary before trying them. Monte Carlo to Venice with neat stops in-between was an excellent itinerary. The food quality, first-class service and all-inclusive premium brands all helped to add value to the cost of this cruise. Definitely recommend and in fact, we’ve already re-booked.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our PH category was perfect for us and a workable lay-out. Two desks were useful and the bathroom with a large stand-alone shower stall was really nice.

Ship tip

Enjoy the all-inclusive aspect and especially as Crystal doesn’t draw the line offering cheap alcohol brands for example as part of your all-inclusive package.
