Wishing you a wonderful cruise. This is the best therapy. I would bring your own leg weights. Have a great time and safe travels. Keith

Hopefully, those of you in the USA who have not yet gotten your checks got an e-mail when your name was listed in the legal proceedings.We did and it showed what the consumer priority amount ($4450.00) which is what we eventually got in a check and general unsecured amount which is what we would not get in the first round. This will take you to all of the ones that were filed with the courts except for a recent one we just saw two days ago. The challenge is you would have to go through most of these and it is sorted by your first name. https://crystalcruiseclaims.com/legal-pleadings/ Another option is try to do a google search. Put in your first and last name followed by Moecker. Don't add in Crystal to the search. It may bring up the specific filing you are in and if you click on that it will take you to the filing and you can scroll down and look for your name. Keith

Eight years ago we saw Asuka II in port. We've seen her before and since then but each time is special. Keith

Pat, at one point they did but not sure about recent years. Keith

Not sure what new Crystal's policy is. Best to have your TA contact them. Keith

Dwight. She was a World Cruise Hostess rather than an Assistant Cruise Director. Keith

Correct. Keith

David, I am glad that you now have received your check. You are right. They are getting paid. I never expected any money other than a few dollars. If more should come next year great but if not we have closed the chapter on this. The Exceptional Incentive Program worked out well for several of us and I am very appreciative new Crystal implemented it. Keith

Roy they had planned to do just that and am not sure why they don’t. They do use it for check in if gangway is on that deck. Keith.

While on a tour eight years ago. It's always nice to spot the vessel you are on from afar. This way you know it hasn't left while you were away. Keith

I too can't think of a woman CD either at Crystal. We've had an Assistant Cruise Director who was a woman and that was Stacey Huston. Keith

Nancy, that's correct.This one was sent to me last night and also one of several posted) but because it was sent to me by the person who took it I could easily post it. Keith

Here's the video which I received permission to post. Keith 10000000_6378285982275609_6062364449374958914_n.mp4

It's aways nice to be out at sea. Keith

Starlite Lounge Crystal Symphony. Keith

The answer is it depends. Often morning ones begin somewhere between 8:00 AM and 9:30 AM and you meet 15 minutes prior to the star time. Keith

And as Tracie said the key to this is more bookings. So, your mission ivyleaguegent should you decide to accept it is to sign up more people for Crystal Symphony cruises. As always- should you or nay of your Force be caught or worse we will disavow knowledge of your mission. May the force be with you. Happy Holidays. Keith

One thing to remember was Starlite looked differently back then and was not open and not used as much as it is today. As I think through Galaxy I am wondering to me it's not a good idea for people to be dancing on stage there due to the possibility of falling off the stage. Regardless, things change and it sounds like it was from over 20 years ago. Lots have changed from back then including no more Baked Alaska Parades, pillow chocolates and a bunch of other things. Keith

I was not aware of this as I only remember Starlite on Symphony and Palm Court on Serenity. NC is very much like OC but there are some changes and one is the size of the band that mainly plays music for the dancing. Keith

Well your wish will come true as they will show this sooner rather than later. At the same time, while it's great to know who has been signed up to be on board when it comes to entertainers and enrichment this can change even up to the last minute. In my case, we book way before this information is available.

After looking over the deck plans of Crystal Harmony that Vince posted, it got me thinking of our first Crystal Cruise on Crystal Harmony. A photo form 21 year and over 3 months ago of Harmony. Keith

Kate, They have stopped the tags until the new ones are done so you should plan to fill them out at the pier. Keith

Have you tried to sign up with a new e-mail address. This is what I would do. You can just set up a new e-mail. I am not sure who you use for e-mail but if you don't use G-Mail consider creating a G-Mail account. For the back to back you should be able to book one only at each of them for the first voyage and one each for the second voyage. In addition to Osteria and Umi Uma you can also book one each per voyages at Tastes. Are you saying you can't book one each for your second voyage? If so, your TA needs to followup with Crystal for assistance. Keith

Roy, you are correct. Keith
