The Gulf Freeway (I 45, downtown Houston to Galveston) was started in 1954 and there has been construction somewhere along the road every second since then!! 😉🤣😱
The situation with the World Cruise is not unusual. All cruise lines hold a certain number of cabins in all categories hoping that they will get more bookings for the full World Cruise. At a certain point they will release those cabins to be booked by segment.

As a longtime Crystal cruiser/Cruise Critic participant, the decline in the people posting on Roll Calls started a while before Old Crystal went kaput, actually before the Covid shut down. The reasons are probably as varied as the people who no longer post. I have 2 bookings with Crystal but haven't posted on the roll calls and probably won't. I have my reasons, others have theirs.

I’m much less concerned with the decor than their serving the variety and quality of food we had come to expect at the Bistro. Hint, hint, Portuguese tarts!!

Both Ancestry and 23andme update and make small changes about once a year. Their numbers are similar, but not identical. 23andme has more detail. Their Jewish % is 9.8 vs. 11 for ancestry. Ancestry doesn’t do fractions, so that’s why 23andme has more detail. My most “interesting” is 0.3 Northern India/Pakistan!!! Go figure!! 😵💫

According to ancestry.com I'm just 11% Jewish, so could you please tell me what that is in the second photo? It's a little "suspicious" looking and I need to know before I put it in my mouth!

Saw a post on Facebook that the art instructors will also be back. All of this is very encouraging.
I'm excited about the mushroom soup and the carpaccio. Since Nobu is back, I'm expecting all the goodies there.

Why don’t you try doing it and see if it works?!
I can’t as I don’t have any certificates as I was either smart enough or lucky enough to use all my outstanding credits with the old Crystal before they went kaput.

I don’t believe Crystal would allow that as a way to “get around” how they are allowing certificates and B2B. You’d also loose the discount allowed for B2B bookings.
