Ibis Posted November 3, 2023 #16 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Yes, dreams to come true! We also boarded yesterday! Back on Crystal… it was emotional walking aboard amidst many crew members calling out “welcome aboard” and “welcome home” and it really did have the feeling of being home again. On the down side, that was just after we had waited from 12 to 1:15 in the terminal for our number to be called. However, once on board and in The Lounge, former Casino, our check in went very smoothly and very quickly, so we were able to hustle straight down to Waterside just at the stroke of 1:30! In a flash Poalo appeared from nowhere to give us an incredibly warm welcome. 🥰. Enjoyed a super lunch, Cobb salad and Champagne, what else?? Our classic Aquamarine suite is basically as we remember it. Met our butler, who has been great so far, as well as our two housekeeping ladies. We knew of the changes for our level concerning extra specialty restaurant reservations so although being a negative, it was not a surprise. It was however a very disappointing surprise that Charles Heidsieck is no longer given as the welcome bottle in our suite. Instead, we found the ordinary Jacquard. Our butler very kindly researched and said he was told that CH had been discontinued as our welcome gift, although it is available for purchase in the dining room:-(. He said most definitely the only Champagne that is offered to this level of suite is Jacquard. Guess we’ll learn to love it😜 On the positive side, dinner was delicious, after a short wait for a table. Service, head over heels super and truly very good food! We feel so fortunate to be here and look forward to today, as the first afternoon is always a push to settle in. Louis sang at approximately 6:20 with winds around 20. Sorry to rush away to enjoy more of this day. Hope to meet up with others tomorrow evening as planned. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibis Posted November 3, 2023 #17 Share Posted November 3, 2023 By the way, I didn’t mean to highjack May B’s thread ! Just in a rush to share news and thoughts from our boarding and didn’t think it necessarily to start another one. Apologies if that is considered rude or not correct ☺️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Amber14 Posted November 3, 2023 #18 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Thanks to both May B and Ibis for sharing some of your cruise with us. I can't wait to read more. I hope both of you continue to enjoy the beautiful ship and islands. We will be on Serenity in the Caribbean soon, too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memlin Posted November 3, 2023 #19 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Can’t wait to meet everyone. Last night was a rough one! The seas were angry. The show had to canceled. It is finally calmer and things are back to normal. Tonight is a formal optional evening. Beautiful menu and terrific entertainment to look forward to! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare May B Posted November 4, 2023 Author #22 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Ibis, and Memlin, so glad to have you posting from our wonderful Crystal Serenity! Very busy day today with Bob Ray a huge highlight, and Roger McGuinn in the front row. Tomorrow it’ll be his turn at the podiu,! Rachel York, phenomenal show tonight. Tomorrow the Crystal in Motion show will be at 6 pm, so hopefully I’ll get to meet Ibis and Memlin and some others at the Palm Court at 5:15. Today at bridge a woman who is a lurker here on CC said she thought she’d meet me at bridge! Fun! Then we got a bottom and a top from them, for an avg. round. Good night, folks! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
