Eight_Paws Posted January 12, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Hello! We are new to Crystal (and new to luxury cruising). We were fortunate to take two Crystal cruises in 2021 -- one to Bermuda in September, and a Caribbean Holiday cruise in December. I summarized my experiences from those two cruises and wrote this blog post covering my top picks for reasons to love a Crystal cruise! My 15 Favorite Things About a Luxury Crystal Symphony Cruise - Waves and Cobblestones Lisa Travel blog home: www.wavesandcobblestones.com p.s. Isn't she lovely?

Having just spent 2 weeks (well, 15 days since we had that extra day sailing to Bimini!) in a Seabreeze Penthouse on the Symphony, I can say that it was as modern as anything on the other luxury lines. These suites were almost new when the pause occurred. I had some complaints about the design but not about the beautiful condition of the suite. Public areas have been remodeled several times in the life of the ship. I am very sad at the thought that I probably won't experience her again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firmdoc Posted February 25, 2022 #7 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Crystal Symphony was my favorite ship. I agree, the Seabreeze Penthouse was as modern as anything else on the waters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
