Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. There are a lot of questions about food quality and service in every venue, enrichment and entertainment.
  2. The new owners reduced the Serenity's capacity to 740 during the prelaunch drydock.
  3. Since we have now decided to book onboard in November, we will get that discount. We were going to forego the discount and book now because we are particular about room location.
  4. You're welcome. BTW, yesterday after the agent informed me of the "phantom" price increase, I decided to delay my booking until we are on board in November. Meanwhile the agent called me this morning and said she "was able to get the credit for me" and did not even mention that it was an IT issue.
  5. Thank you for the clarification. It's too bad the agent wasn't informed that there was an IT issue. She was adamant that the 2.5% credit had expired.
  6. This is just an FYI for anyone considering a new booking. Even though the Miami office is closed today, I was able to reach a Crystal agent to place a deposit on a new booking for a 2025 cruise. The agent informed me that the Crystal Society/past guest credit of 2.5% per guest expired yesterday and as a result the price of our cruise has increased by $500 more than the quote that I received one week ago. I don't know if this change applies to all cruises or specific ones. This change along with the loss of the onboard credit of 2.5%, unless you make an actual booking onboard, represents an effective 5% price increase. I know there has been discussion of Crystal's "dynamic" pricing strategy, but just two months after Serenity's launch, new Crystal has taken away two incentives that old Crystal had used to reward loyal customers. I wonder what the thinking is behind this strategy.
  7. 2025 itineraries are now posted on the website.
  8. 728 according to Silversea website: Ultra Luxury Cruise Travel with Silver Nova | Silversea
  9. See post #96 from the above thread for Keth's photos of the classic Aquamarine on Serenity.
  10. There is also a picture of the Aquamarine classic. Under "Suite Details" click on "Classic." Yes, the design predates 2018.
