Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Your perspective is purely quantitative … mine is qualitative in the sense that I take into account (and weigh heavily) the outstanding service provided by the crew. The way I “feel” when on board a Crystal ship is priceless, intangible and well worth any premium that Crystal charges over her competitors.
  2. We debarked Serenity on December 2, after 19 days, which included two Formal nights…few tuxedos…more dark suits…many blazers with slacks…with and without ties. Keep in mind we were in the Caribbean … I suspect the formal nights on the Holiday cruise will see more suits.
  3. Timmy and I have so many things to be thankful for - among these many things: we are celebrating Thanksgiving aboard Serenity. Here’s a photo I took this morning shortly after we docked in San Juan I’ve been blogging since we boarded on November 13, and hope to continue until we debark on December 2…however we have several snorkeling and deep sea fishing excursions planned over the next several days…at present, I’m only two days behind…hopefully I’ll be able to keep up 😍 http://travelingwithtimmy.com Keith and Roy set the blogging bar so very high…I honestly do not know how they do it… #goals
  4. We are currently on board..and certainly did not feel disadvantaged by any visitors. Additionally, we spent some time ashore, and had several interactions with residents of Santo Domingo … to a person, these folks were kind and friendly…we certainly did not at any point feel uneasy or unsafe.
  5. Hi there @swimmerboy , I am happy to report that Marco is indeed on board..: and he’s been promoted to Front Office Manager 😊
  6. If you mean John Arias (Sommelier Extraordinaire) from Columbia…yes, he will be joining Serenity in Puerto Rico on November 23. We board tomorrow, so if no one else has replied regarding Marco…I’ll come back and let you know😊
  7. We were on Serenity 9/18-10/6…can’t speak to hairdryer…I’d bring a sweater or wrap…the Cove usually felt pretty temperate, Galaxy lounge - usually cool, Waterside…hit or miss.
  8. Roy, thanks so much for sharing this adventure. I loved every minute of it! Especially your photos ♥️ Wishing you an easy and safe trip home.

    White Night

    September 29, Symphony White Party As Timmy and I were heading to the elevator, we encountered two couples…beautifully dressed…nothing white. As we waited for the elevator, here comes another couple, again no white. So I pull Tim off the elevator, thinking I’d made a mistake on the date of the White Party (certainly would not be the first time) …quick check of the app…we had the correct date and the well attended party was fantastic. Anna Alonzo and the show band kept the dance floor energized. x x

    White Night

    I would take this information with a pinch of salt… some folks were told no White Party on Symphony Venice to Rome by guest services… and we experienced a super party Timmy in his white sneakers with the band ♥️
  11. Nancy! You made my day! Every minute on this ship is a joy♥️
  12. September 19,2023 After breakfast on our balcony, we headed off the ship to meet up with our guide, Darko. The tender ride to shore took about 20 minutes. An advantage of sailing on a small ship like Symphony, is that we can anchor in the harbor at the entrance to Old Town Dubrovnik. Symphony at anchor. We strolled around the old town, learning about the history of Dubrovnik, enjoying a leisurely pace with Darko.... I’ve updated our blog…very sorry to simply be posting a link… but it’s a lot to post everywhere… www.travelingwithtimmy.com Here’s a pic taken at the tender port

    White Night

    Absolutely no problem! Timmy and at least 4 other guests had white sneakers on last evening …it’s all good… you will love Crystals’ hospitality ♥️
