Glad y'all had a great experience.  

I jumped the gun.  I submitted my review and it takes time for Cruise Critic to OK and publish. 
Think of the cruise as a boutique cruise.  Not a mega cruise. No atriums, boardwalks, neon colors.  Food good, some meals bordering on exceptional.  Entertainment is energetic.  New show each night with full cast.  Greek Dancers and Musicians from Crete are worth while.  Cabins big enough (we had an XB and didn't use two drawers).  Staff extremely friendly.  Ship is in great condition, polished brass, shining wood, no worn carpets or furniture and no rust!  Excursions well organized and worthwhile.  Fellow passengers friendly and diverse.  If you're with three couples you'll make you own fun, regardless.  Enjoy!  

We had a great cruise!  Exceeded expectations.  I posted a lengthy review on Cruise Critic. 
What a relaxing, reliable and efficient way to travel around the Aegean and the Greek Islands. 
No packing and unpacking!  The ship travels when you are sleeping. 

Wife and I are retired and traveling from Boston.  We're spending two nights in Athens. 
Interested in chilling, people watching and taking photographs.  Nothing planned at this point beyond the included excursions.  Trying to set my expectations fairly low for the ship, not the Greek Isles!  The Crystal seems like a great way to see the Islands without having to pack and unpack and waste daytime on the ferries.  

Bummer.  Wishing you a complete recovery.  Not to worry, I bet they'll make more!  

Aye matey.  Wench and I will be on the Crystal for the 7 night cruise.
