2013 Crystal World Cruise Update

Special Guest Reporter

Crystal World Cruise Bon Voyage Party

The 2013 Crystal World cruise is off to a grand start and our voyage ambassadors Lynn and Buddy are thrilled to be onboard with our Cruise Specialists guests.  They received a very warm welcome from officers and staff and were excited to see many old friends onboard.  They believe they see so many familiar faces because once you sail on Crystal, you always return.

The Crystal Serenity is full with 900 passengers onboard (there are 397 full world cruisers and 346 repeat guests).  The ship’s capacity is about 1,200 so ‘full at 900’ means there are many cabins with only one guest.

“The food, entertainment and service on the Serenity could not be better,” said Lynn.  “There was a new Elton John show with an E.J. impersonator that made you think Elton was actually performing. Outstanding!”

So far, they have visited some beautiful Caribbean ports (Key West, Grand Cayman, Curacao and Aruba).  The ports have been sunny and easy to explore.  In Grand Cayman, they were lucky to be the only ship in town.  They are looking forward to the group’s first cocktail party and more fun ports to explore.  Stay tuned for more updates on their world cruise adventure.
