Keith,

your description of the cruises sound just like a travel brochure.  do you write travel brochures on the side?  the cruises sound fabulous but i could never leave my dog, Cooper, for such a long time.  and i've already booked three short cruises for 2025!

Keith are you receiving these announcements via email?  I have not been receiving anything recently.


They’re Crystal’s press releases which are published on Crystal's website @ https://www.crystalcruises.com/press

 

I suspect you’ll receive a customer focussed email within the next day or two

Excellent question.

 

This was a press release.

 

Normally, I   copy and past the entire release but the 2025 Grand Voyages were not yet on the website so thought it simpler to post it this way.

 

The 2025 details with the pricing will be up relatively soon.

Thanks all.  I see that I just don't normally look for new press releases on their website.  Why not auto-send press releases out to all who have signed up for emails at the same time as release made to the press I wonder?  

Rather than in a press release which is in a simple format for the press I suspect Crystal will send out an e-mail to those who receive e-mails from Crystal already.

Yes But how do you register to have these notices  sent out with out having to chase them ?

Perhaps they do not send this out to Canadian clients.
