We received a few emails in June 2023, but they stopped after 6/15/23. Subscribing to emails did not restart them.. Telling a Crystal rep on the phone did not rectify the situation. However since 2/13/24 I have received six emails. Snail mail restarted a few weeks ago for both my husband and me. We are both Crystal Society members. It does appear that Crystal has fixed a glitch that was impacting some of us.

It is so nice to see you traveling again, Roy! Bon voyage! Rhonda

I’ve had the Iceland hot dog and it was a disappointment. It was not encased in a proper roll. Great hot dogs have to start with a New England roll, which has a flat bottom and is top loaded. The flat sides are soft, with no crust, and both sides are butter grilled to perfection. 🥰 The rolls are not large, so that the bread doesn’t over power the flavor of the dog, but the buttery goodness compliments the dog. Condiments can be top loaded per the diner’s preference. Now don’t get me started on clam chowder. There is only one style worth eating: New England. There will be no clams swimming in tomato broth in my house. 😛

Can someone confirm that NC charges on Amex Green are generating 3 Membership Reward points for each dollar charged? …Or does Amex consider the Crystal Cruises Travel Agency to be a third party, such that the charge would not be eligible for the bonus points according to their terms and conditions?

The Amex Green card gives triple points on all travel including cruises, and it would not be subject to the more strict look back period of Visa and Mastercard.

My purchases were in Redondo Beach, and I did not clean them out. Prior to my second purchase, I was planning on checking out South Pasadena when I will be in the area in a few days. However I think I have reached the capacity of what my liver can withstand over the next year or two. 😯 I will leave the remaining supply for others to discover.

I am in Southern California and have abstained today - so far. 😉

I popped into the local Grocery Outlet again today and found additional varieties on the shelves: Pinot Noir and Merlot along with the Cab and Chardonnay. Apparently they needed to make more shelf space before putting out the Pinot Noir and Merlot. I am now fully stocked! The cashier informed me that wine is 10% off on Wednesdays, but at $5.99 and $6.99 per bottle who needs to wait? Party time! 🙂🥂🍾 Nice reminders of fond Crystal memories for a long time to come!

One of our favorite memories is a lunch we had at Noma in Copenhagen before one of our Crystal cruises. Noma was rated #1 restaurant in the world at the time, and it is back in the #1 spot once again. Noma just started producing pantry items, and for lunch today we enjoyed pasta with an Alfredo sauce to which I added Noma’s Smoked Mushroom Garum. It was devine! I plan to have one of Crystal’s C wines with dinner this evening. it is such a treat when stuck at home to be able to enjoy both a taste of Noma and a bit of Crystal in the same day. Life is good!

I got some of the Cab and Chardonnay at the local Grocery Outlet this morning. Nice tip! Thanks, Beav!
