Thanks Keith.

Correction: Sept 27th. Guess I really can't wait.

We will be on the Sept 25th NYC to Quebec cruise. I emailed Onboard guest services to inquire-No White Night is planned for our cruise. Wish this information is readily available to its passengers.

Does anyone know how many of the former CDs are back with Crystal?

Temporarily. Read that casinos will be back next year,

Thank you for sharing your informative and enlightening posts, Keith. You have a wonderfully positive attitude. Agreed whole-heartedly that the members of this group are all very blessed. Hope our paths cross one of these days _ if nothing else, for a game of paddle tennis or pickle ball! Enjoy life at home!

Keith: Thank you for taking the time to share this amazing journey with us virtually and answering all of our questions. I am looking forward to our late September cruise on the Serenity. Safe travels to you and Anne Marie! -Jeany

Is it true that the staterooms on Deck 10 and 11 have not been refurbished?

Will there be any White Nights?

Makes sense.

Yes, Keith, Just wondering. BTW, thank you for taking time out to answer our questions and to share your wonderful experience on the ship. You live life passionately: it is palpable. Continue and enjoy! ~Jeany

Anyone knows where are the rest of the former CDs? Anyone else returning?

Sept 27, 2023 Serenity NY to Quebec Debating between Crystal v Regent for Mediterranean 2024. After reading all the postings, decided on- Symphony Athens to Athens April 13, 2024. Still want to try Regent as I've never been on it. Maybe Japan in Fall 2024.

The posted Reflections notes production show starting at 10:30 pm. Do they generally start so late?

Great. We each booked as your discussed. Will email Crystal. Thanks for the email address. -Jeany

Thanks. Same TA but she’s off Friday and Sat. Reservation opens Sat. Just didn't know if Crystal would let me book for the other two also.

Please help. Can I book dinner reservations for my whole party (3 staterooms) or does each party has to book separately and we link later? Reservation is open tomorrow. Thanks!

Save travels! Many thanks for responding to our requests and questions!

Hi Keith: if you go to Waterside, can you check if the port side affords good views? We're on the NYC to Quebec sailing late Sept and ship supposedly sails around 7 pm. Wouldn't want to miss the magnificent Manhattan skyline. Please don't go out of your way. Thank you so much!

Can someone please let me know if pickleball paddles and balls are being provided? Casual play. Thanks ~Jeany

Keith: We are late boomers to cruising. Sailed once on Crystal, loved it, then no more Crystal. Did others, enjoyed them all. Then found out Crystal will be back under new ownership. Ecstatic!! Booked two Crystal voyages since. Learned so much from you and many others here. Thank you!! Your enthusiasm and positivity influenced us greatly. We look forward to your opinions and photos _ counting the days and can't wait! Bon Voyage!

No magicians! Hope they'll be back

Thank you for sharing that info. Did you get a TA to book you on the waitlist or did you do it directly? - Jeany

Keith:: 3 cabins with one being a single. I wonder if Crystal would add more sailings or its 2024 published sailings.Do you know? Also, I hope the departure of the long-time former President will not adversely affect the direction of the new Crystal.

Thanks Keith. I didn’t. There are 5 of us; not sure what’s the chance of all of us being cleared. So we are looking at alternative voyages. -Jeany
