This is just an FYI for anyone considering a new booking. Even though the Miami office is closed today, I was able to reach a Crystal agent to place a deposit on a new booking for a 2025 cruise. The agent informed me that the Crystal Society/past guest credit of 2.5% per guest expired yesterday and as a result the price of our cruise has increased by $500 more than the quote that I received one week ago. I don't know if this change applies to all cruises or specific ones. This change along with the loss of the onboard credit of 2.5%, unless you make an actual booking onboard, represents an effective 5% price increase. I know there has been discussion of Crystal's "dynamic" pricing strategy, but just two months after Serenity's launch, new Crystal has taken away two incentives that old Crystal had used to reward loyal customers. I wonder what the thinking is behind this strategy.
