We met on that Crystal cruise. Being Crystal refugees we have tried 2 SS cruises and one Regent.We liked both lines and agree with most of the comments here. Crystal definitely had better enrichment and entertainment and we recently did a 34 day cruise on SS so we noticed. Main dining room food was very good, bread was awful and wine selection was exceptional. The staff were fantastic.Entertainment on Regent was superior to Ss but that could just be the ship. We found the included excursions on both were quite good and there are some very good ones for an upcharge. I don’t think you can go wrong on either line but frankly, I’m waiting to see the reviews on New Crystal.
We found the basic balcony suites on both to be a good size with good storage.
