Hope this is not what the onboard service will be like
KenzSailing replied to j_anandu's topic in Crystal
In the before time of OC, it was an article of faith on this board that Crystal shoreside customer service was not even slightly representative of the seaside experience. Well, they have been promising us the Crystal experience we've come to know! (Kidding, more than a few shoreside people new in their jobs, no excuse, but miscommunication is going to be higher during the start-up phase.) -
Told ya.

While we wait on word from the Oracle, my two cents. The original FB post indicated some pretty imprecise information, it was far from definitive. One guess is that the first few cruises may have had the VR already bought out, Crystal has always limited the nights it's available and my be further throttling thru put while they get their sea legs. After the initial surge of Crystal fans has passed thru the pipeline, I'm sure they'll offer VR nights put together onboard of smaller groups. Otherwise they're leaving revenue on the table. (Also, the FB post this was all based on was from someone attempting to book two persons into VR in advance of sailing. I could be wrong, but I thought Crystal only ever did that once on board.)

Just now in real time:OLoPP just got off a YouTube live feed she follows of this guy who quit high finance or something to run a farm in Vermont?! Huh, I had no idea. I wonder if he sells lamb. Surprise and wonder, my friends, is how you keep the spark alive.

Happy 4th of July to all who celebrate. Rib eye on the grill tonight because: Hooray for the Red White and Moo!

That is a slender thread for choosing another cruise line.

Sunday Sea Day Buffet Extravaganza?
KenzSailing replied to KenzSailing's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Did not know that about La Verandah. Thanks for the tip. -
So the Washington Post taste tested eight or ten of the most popular brands of vanilla ice cream: Ben and Jerry's came out on top. The Costco store brand (Kirkland) came in second. Blue Bell tied for seventh with Walmart's brand. News you can use!

I sympathize, but I can unify your point with the original direction of this thread: I mean, who hasn't heard of Jockey Shorts?

Hi all, taking our first Regent cruise on Grandeur, Dec 21, Mia-LA. We have two sea days that occur on Sundays. From what I've read, this means a grand buffet featuring caviar(asking for the spouse.) However I've also read that this only happens once a cruise. So can we expect one included caviar feast or two? Guidance appreciated. (The Sundays fall on Dec 24 and Jan 31, so I'm guessing, if it's one, that'll be NYE.) Correct my logic if I'm wrong. Also, appreciate guidance on booking the specialties. Specifically, I'm thinking of booking P7 the first night, as I suspect CR will get very busy(although I'm sure they handle the crush just fine.) We tend to dine later when cruising, around 8:30. Hoping that dining time also works for Sette Mari on other evenings. And if you want to tell me I'm over thinking this, why, yes, I am. That's part of the fun for us.

I'm not sure toothpicks will take off, but I've got a dead bang certain fire starter for you: paper straws. 😁

I see Regent's included laundry service has suddenly become a major selling point to some on this board. I've spent a lot of time on the Regent board while Crystal was on "hiatus." Here's a little context: Regent only extended that perk to all cruisers within the last year or two(previously it was dependent on your nights aboard Regent status.) And some Regent cruisers complained that that perk extension diminished the value of their cherished status! Some cruisers, man, if they stop complaining, check for a pulse.

Ah, you're right of course. I'm mired in the past! Anyway, that leads me an even better idea for both ships: A Fifth of Crystal Penthouse!
-
Well, I've thought a lot about this important topic, and this has occurred to me: since, on Symphony, there are two CPs, they should have named it Crystal Penthouse the Third. Very classy.
-
Oh my gosh, cannot imagine circulating around, much less having dinner, on a Crystal cruise after being prominently outed as a Doctor-Doctor. It would be like seven days(or more) in one of Dante's Circles of Hell.

Serious question: does anyone know the status of our own @BWIVince? Initially I figured he was buried by work, but it's been forever and a day since he's dropped by this silly little neighborhood. I miss the insights and sanity of the Voice of Reason.

New Crystal - the Good, the Bad and the Indifferent
KenzSailing replied to claudiaYVR's topic in Crystal
Well, that certainly explains what happened after I made a quick lunch of the five day old Wiener Schnitzel I had saved on my last cruise. -
Oh boy oh boy oh boy, another great squashed chicken meal tonight. Winner winner chicken dinner! Think I'll go roll some coal...

Beav, you have cracked the code at the Chez, I'm in back keeping the orders moving, OloPP is FOH keeping our clients happy. I get the high heat scars, she gets the kisses. Such is life in the industry. Oh simmering this weekend is a protein backup caused by the fires(we were Marroon yesterday.) Anyway it the sacred steak night Saturday followed by Burger Night in America Sunday(not our typical) Sunday, but we're going for it. Then there will be a spatchcock chicken and some sausages. I have back ribs in the freezer, just need to find the courage
