Mr Luxury

Casinos Austria have been around for a very long time and run Casinos on many lines.

Genting know a thing about running Casinos,alas not enough about running them on cruise ships.

Never noticed it before.

I know,some days are tougher than others.

Thanks for the photos Julie,very nice. Look after dear old Markham he's having a tough time of it. I'm sure that he'll lead the keel hauling party for the Captain.

Shopping with the Chef on this cruise?

Of course what you are describing happens at most restaurants around the world not just on one cruise ship.

Yes,have your TA make a note to check what flights are available and the cost. I then check what I can get the flights for or a slightly different route if it more convenient. Sometimes Seabourn Air is cheaper but not always

There's always one 😀

You teenagers are so tech savvy

You can't make this stuff up can you 😁

Thanks Julie. Are you going to book a cruise with New Crystal 😉

What time do want around DW I'll bring the wine

I've retired from the firm now but still have the controlling interest.😁 Ebenezer says he taught you well Fletch

I'm up at 04.30 Can't waste the day

Pictures Julie,that's what your audience wants.

Look forward to it

Let's hope you like it Keith as it will be to Manfredi's Taste now

You could have got that carry on down to 5kg surely

By charging a lot for what they are offering. Have you seen the prices compared to what you get with SS SB and R

Thankfully they don't call it a cover charge

I wouldn't have thought that a picture of a small room would be the best thing to have as your main photo in an article. They do seem to be promising a lot by having Butlers for every category of suite and then having a never seen anywhere in the World before Junior butler looking after the smaller rooms. Perhaps the Junior butlers are smaller than the proper butler. Judging by the size of the rooms you might have to go on the balcony while the junior butler services your needs in the room. Imagine if you have no balcony,do you leave the room,hide in the toilet or press yourself up against the window until the junior butler leaves. These rooms with no balcony are surely better for guest entertainers or crew who probably will not have the butler service.

This region of France is best explored on a land based vacation and not the odd day or two from a cruise ship. You would miss so much.

I agree,I would even go as far to say that New Crystal do not really want solo travellers by how they are segregating them on deck seven forward. Yes they do need to make money and solo travellers with a big discount taking up a double occupancy veranda or larger suite takes some of the profit that could have been. If the rooms on deck seven do not sell ,which I suspect,Crystal will use them for guest entertainers,higher ranking crew and have them spare for emergency room changes as they have done on the past. Of course solo travellers would be welcomed if they pay double and only drink and eat for one.

Some folks have long memories.
