keith, spoken like the "father of the bride" history!

That could be accurate but there’s so many different answers depending on who you talk to but still pain for all of my 2025 Cruises by March of this year is ridiculous. I have no interest in doing that.

i lost my interest in this deal because of two reasons. 1. since i have four cruises booked for 2025, they require all the full payments by feb. 25th, not just a year before the sail date. and 2. they told me that i have to pay the new non refundable fare which is higher than a couple of my current fares, so why bother with non refundable fares and why give them so much money so far in advance? not a deal for me.

hello keith, the crystal brochure about the cruise collection arrived in the mail today!

tracie, yes, i did find where you can choose double or single occupancy for the cabins. wow! the single prices for the veranda rooms are at least $3000 more than the single oceanview cabins!

tracie, where did you find the pricing for single pricing on the veranda cabins?

i have four cruises booked for 2025. if i want to take advantage of this prepay speical, will crystal charge me to new prices for the cruises or will my discount be taken from the prices i've already confirmed with them? my TA is off today so i can't contact her until tomorrow to ask this question for me. i'd love to take advantage of this special offer if i can.

yes, the silence is deafening!

dwight, thanks for continuing the voyage from san diego to tahitii. appreciate the time you spend doing it. hope the seas get better for you.

thanks for the pictures of all the ballons. it should be quite a happy send off tonight. i'm watching the ship on the san diego port webcam looking good!

Thank you again for your advice. I’m very excited about this cruise. I’m going on the Crystal symphony on May 7 excuse me May 9 from Rome to Lisbon. It’s a 12 day cruise and goes to Northern Italy, France, Spain, Morocco and then into Lisbon.

Thanks again for your advice. I really appreciate it. I’m also thinking of a tour to Luca and Pizza. I’ve never been to those places and might be very interesting to do that. If the cinque terre thank you very much trip is too difficult for me.

so there is a ferry i could take for the day that will return me to the port. where do i get the ferry in relation to where my ship docks? thanks for your comments.

I'm interested in seeing and perhaps visiting the cinque tierre villages by boat. I have difficulty walking and i do use a cane but cobblestone streets and be a problem, for me. i was thinking about a boat tour where i could choose to stop or not stop at town while my cruise ship is in Livorno. Any recommendations? Much appreciated.

yes, thank you rob for your observations. i got a kick out of your comments about the front desk people. your comments about the food are wonderful. keep enjoying everything.

yes, thank you, rob for posting the pictures of your vintage room dinner. it really looked fabulous!

what a fabulous brochure. Will i be getting one in my mailbox soon? I sure hope so.

fabulous pics of the transit through the canal. thank you for sharing them with us followers!

ryndam, thank you for the fabulous canal photographs. they were very clear and very interesting to see how close you were to the concrete walls. did any paint get scratched? what a wonderful voyage you are having. i do follow along every day but don't always post to your trip. anyway, bon voyage!

yes, thank you for your post. the best thing is that your wife is ok now. it's truly wonderful to know how thorough and understanding the medical staff was to your needs. glad all is well now.

tracie, will our May cruise on Symphony from Rome to Lisbon be affected?

actually, the people that publish the daily reflections does show a singles group get together usually at 5PM each day. that's where i see it every day.

does anyone attend the single group meetings? if yes, what does on? just curious.

you could go on a tour of the Mount Gay Rum factory. or you could check your bags somewhere and go to the beach for awhile. just my thoughts.

from my experience, not on crystal but on other ships and hotels, the accessible cabins don't have bathtubs since they are difficult to enter and exit. JMHO
