Hello, do you mean that you receive 2 of your 5 credits towards the same cruise?

Hello, I see it as a very nice recognition of OC passengers. New Crystal wants you back!

Hello, my experiences on Crystal (9 cruises so far) are that I can have champagne with every lunch! … breakfast…and dinner! Enjoy!

Hello, let me help you post your pictures. I was able to load them on my iPad.

Hello, I am guessing but I will try an answer for you. Hopefully, SS will come back with the right answer. SS announced a new option to buy a cruise - the Essential price which does not include excursions. But if you choose that option and you want to select an excursion included in P2P, you will be charged. When you go online and you want to select your excursion, the system has to figure out if you are a P2P customer or an Essential price customer. The implementation of that feature might not be all tested yet!

Good morning, the Symphony is not the only cruise ship thru the Red Sea and the Canal Suez. Here is the Ponant Le Champlain about to enter the canal!

Hi, in April 2019, we were at ANA InterContinental Hotel Tokyo, very nice location, excellent buffet breakfast to start the day and shuttle to go to the airport. Highly recommended to reserve a local guide to explore the most of the city during your stay. Enjoy Tokyo!

Thank you to give us the latest update on this voyage. We are looking forward to cruise on the Symphony next October.

Hello Keith, do you know the date of that cruise? I am very interested to book!

Hello, now on Silversea website, the cruise scheduled for the Silver Spirit on Nov 11 to Nov 24, 2025 is Lisbon to Bridgetown, then Nov 24, 2025 to Dec 1, 2025 it is Bridgetown to Bridgetown. Strange!

Hello, all cruises from April 27, 2025 until Dec. 8, 2025 are in waitlist status on Silversea website. And cruises from Dec 8, 2025 until April 5, 2026 are still available and listed on Silversea website. Will a new ship take care of these cruises?

Here are my suggestions to help you select your voyage. First, 7 days cruise is quite short, you should go for 9-10-12 days cruise. Second, Islands visited should influence your choice. If you have never been to St-Bart, you should include it. Third, I would select the less expensive one to try / experiment a new cruise line. enjoy cruising!

Be quiet! All passengers on Crystal Serenity are sleeping! They will enjoy a day in Sydney and maybe an evening at the opera!

FYI, if I was to apply the 20% discount from Crystal + the 3% of my credit card, the price of the cruise would be $ C6130. Not bad since the cruise is end of 2025 vs Dec 2022. I was told by a very strong source that SS Canadian prices give some advantages to Canadian passengers since SS uses a better exchange rate.

Hello, I am looking at a 12 nights cruise on Crystal Symphony, Dubai to Dubai, Dec 21, 2025 to Jan 2, 2026. If you use the promotion offered today - reserve 12 months in advance and get 20%, than the price per night is $380 USD per person per night. Quite a deal to get the quality of Crystal. There is another factor which affects the Canadianpassengers is the exchange rate used by Crystal. The cruise Dubai to Dubai is $5700 USD which is $ C7704 using today exchange rate. But on the Crystal Canadian website the price is showed as $ C7950. Crystal does not use the daily current exchange rate to publicize on its website. For me since I have a credit card that gives me 3% Boni Dollar on my travel transactions, My cost will be $ C7711, which is similar to pay in US dollar using a US$ Credit card.

Plus, if you have time, do not miss the High Tea at the Peninsula hotel!

I agree with all the previous comments. Excellent hôtel! We stayed there in our Uniworld land tour of China. If you book there, you will not make a mistake. Enjoy!

We receive emails. Our last one was on Feb. 8, 2024. The subject was: Book Early and Get 20% Off 2025 Crystal Voyages.

My husband and I totally agree with you. Benjamin is the best representation of Crystal services. He definitively recognized us when we cruised on the Serenity in October 2023. We were back with Crystal after the 3 years ‘no travel’ during the pandemic period. He represents what Crystal is all about, he is part of the family!

Hello, we had free lessons with Joe Herbert when we were on our first Crystal cruise in September 2013. We were on Crystal Symphony. We did improve our golf score. Our friends did not want to bet with us anymore. Enjoy your cruise! The only thing you will regret is 7 days is too short, it will be difficult to disembark. You might want to book your next Crystal cruise when you are onboard!

Enjoy 14 days in beautiful Alaska scenery!

Hello, SS was sold to RCI and the owner bought Crystal and the database of previous passengers of Crystal. My husband and I received many calls from the NC customer service center. We did a cruise on Crystal Serenity in October 2023 and when we visited the marketing desk on the ship, the lady knew exactly our history with OC. Therefore we do not loose our history of cruises and our advantages. Our next cruise will be our 10th one with Crystal which is booked in October 2024. We are so glad, Crystal is back! Excellent crew, excellent service, excellent food! We have done 44 cruises so far - RCI, Cunard, Princess, HA, Oceania, NCL, Celebrity, Seabourn, Regent and Crystal. Our opinion Crystal is the best! N.B. SS is on our list to try.

Hello, I understand your disappointment but based on my December 2023 on the Mariner, you will not be missing to much. The Mariner is an old ship and have a serious toilet problem, intermittent, but when you have 8 days out a 12 days cruise, some problem with your suite toilet, it is not fun. The Mariner goes to dry dock in November 2025 and hopefully, fix its toilet problem. I will highly recommend that if you want to experiment/try the Regent cruise line, book a cruise on one of their new ship!
