Join The Crystal Symphony For An Exceptional Cruise Experience

Upon launching their first ship in 1990, Crystal Cruises has established themselves as one of the premier cruise lines in the world. A great deal of time and effort went into research in the years immediately preceding the launch of their first ship. Crystal Cruises was backed financially by NYK Line and organized and designed by some of the most respected veterans of the cruise industry. Twenty years after the maiden launch of their first ship, the 48,621 ton vessel, Crystal Harmony, Crystal Cruises has been bestowed countless industry awards; including, “Best Large-Ship Cruise Line” by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler magazine an incredible nine consecutive times.

Five years after the launch of the Crystal Harmony, Crystal Cruises introduced their second ship, the Crystal Symphony. In 2002, a third addition was made to the Crystal fleet, the Crystal Serenity. The construction of the Crystal Serenity incorporated many of the features of it’s predecessors just on a far grander scale. The Crystal Serenity was built at the renowned French Chantiers de l’Atlantique yard. It is a 68,870 ton vessel that is designed to carry 1,096 passengers in spacious and luxurious surroundings. The Crystal Serenity boasts having received the Fielding’s Guide to Luxury Cruises’ award for ‘World’s Best Large Luxury Ship” for four consecutive years, 2004-2007.

All three of the members of the Crystal Cruises fleet sail on worldwide itineraries often carrying passengers to some of the most exotic and exclusive harbors. The Crystal Cruises fleet provides guests with a wonderful experience that is very much a cross between the highest level of the premium mass market and super deluxe boutique ships.

I have personally been a guest on the Crystal Symphony on four separate cruises. I have taken countless cruises in my day and must admit that it is my favorite cruise ship and I never fail to have a memorable time. They offer incredible dining options and the service is simply without reproach.

The last cruise I took with the Crystal Symphony was late January with my wife, it was their Panama Canal Cruise. I took her on the cruise for her birthday. To my surprise, if you cruise on your birthday this year, Crystal Cruises will allow you to take another cruise at a 25% discount or a 50% discount if you are staying in a double cabin. The only catch is that you must take the next cruise before your next birthday comes around. My birthday is this September so we are planning on taking one of the Crystal Sympony’s Black Sea cruises.

Anyway, the Panama Canal cruise was fantastic. It was a 14-day trip that took us from Miami, through the Panama Canal and up to Los Angeles. I have actually been through the Panama Canal myself in the past and I wanted for my wife to experience it. The itinerary included Cozumel, Mexico; Grand Cayman; Caldera, Costa Rica; Acapulco and Cabo San Lucas.

The cruise was all that my wife anticipated for in a romantic cruise and more. Everything about the Crystal Serenity is top notch from the staff and the décor to the amazing food. Should you follow my advice and join the Crystal Serenity for a cruise, I highly recommend that you visit the Silk Road Restaurant.

There are plenty of activities available for both adults and children to keep everyone busy all day. The excursions were excellent and the beaches were sublime. The Silk Road Restaurant features menu selections from the world famous Nobu Matsuhisa. If you enjoy gambling, as I do, you will love their casino which includes slot machines, six blackjack tables, craps, baccarat table, roulette table and Texas Hold’em tables.

Well, that’s about all I have to say for now. I hope to see you this September on the Black Sea.
