  1. Marine Traffic also has no destination for Symphony - they probably use the same source

    Casino?

    Although I'm nor teally a gamble (haven't been in casino on board for years - I think ti would be a mistake for only 1 of the ships to have one. People would take a trip on Serenity and gamble and then book on Symphony not realizing there was no casino - would lead to bad feelings, etc. I think they should have on both although it wouldn't stop me from cruising.
  3. Looking at the Marine Traffic web site - seems as if there are a lot of ships going through the red sea to /from Cairo. I'm fairly sure none are passenger ships but there is a lot of traffic with no reported incidents or violence that I've heard about. I wouldn't go through as a passenger at the moment but looks as if ship might be OK doing that trip.
  4. And if they hire her - she will drive them to bankruptcy and Crystal can buy 2 of the Explorer ships.😆
  5. Got it and remember but wondering why one of the questions was would you not do Crystal if no Casino's - reconsidering maybe?? Or delaying maybe for a couple of years.
  6. Today I got a survey - do I want casino on the ships and would I not sail, etc. if there weren't one. Thought ti casino issue was settled but I guess not
  7. Do you know or they say what enhanced means? Does it go 10 times faster or?? I agree that charging for this type of thing doesn't seem premium cruise line to me.
  8. Somehow the discussion of Big Mac on a Crystal board seems a little weird compared to all the great food discussed and shown. I remember when the Big Mac came out - the ad was a Big Mac, large fries and a large soda and change back from your 1 dollar.
  9. Email I just got World Cruise 2026 wait list open.LA to Rome - 135 nights 72 destinations 27 countries . Fares starting at $84,000
  10. I had received daily for a while and then none for about a week then one again - assume I'll get 1 a week. Is there a place on the web site where the same information is posted? Would allow to see the ones between weekly emails.
  11. There is a bit in today's NY Times weekly history quiz that there was a real effort to prevent Louis Armstrong from recording "what a wonderful life" - would Crystal be able to sail if that song didn't exist?
  12. It interesting to me that until this thread in the last day I don't remember hearing anything about Churrrascaria not on the NC. Don't think it was a major piece of everyone's experience but a lot liked it.

    Menus in Waterside

    One thing you need to remember on Crystal is if you want something you don't see ask. The crew wants to say yes and get you what you want. They might not always be able but they want to and will do what they can to get it for you - so ASK
  14. Royal Viking - my parents used to sail on that line before they switched to Crystal when it was launched. Don't know if it was crew or ? but Crystal was supposed to be built on Royal Viking with improvements. I searched the web for Royal Viking - I found that a couple of their ships are still sailing - talk about old vessels.

    2026 Cruises?

    Hope if Alaska they do some further north ports. Did those in 2019 cruise from Tokyo and they were great stops. Not as touristy as some Alaska has gotten
  16. I received daily until I answered this thread and none since then
  17. Sounds good to me. Some will love it and some won't but that is true for all.
  18. I hope, in some way, we get news and updates on progress and if any issues as they pass through. I hope all good news.
  19. Keep reading about old ships - I"d bet that if you told a bunch of cruisers that the Crystal ships were new a huge percent would think they are - after all the refits. Sure the crew and mechanics would know but would passengers. I guess people would stay at the Ritz or Waldorf because they are old. Sure I'd like new ships but not because I have a problem with the age of the current ships.
  20. They may have been working on alternates and the details. As bad as delaying notifications I think it would be worse if they said A and then a little later said - not A but B.
  21. Casper was the one on out St. Andrews trip - maybe the same cruise
  22. Years ago did a golf cruise on Crystal with a great pro on board -- we got to play golf at St. Andrews - not the old course but getting to play at St Andrews was a great although the local golfers didn't really appreciate us since we played too slowly for them.
  23. Thanks - glad you had a great experience. Remembering your names is one of the great skills the crew has
  24. Always been somewhat of a scary area to me Back in 1995, I think, we took a Crystal cruise that stopped in Egypt. From the moment we docked we were surrounded by armed guards - at the dock, buses to Cairo, boats on the Nile, etc. we had armed guards to protect us. Scary. Also, back then you couldn't stop in Israel before you went to Egypt. Not that it made much difference to us but was a fact of country politics back then.
