good to hear about expedition ships - the only thing that ever made me think about crystal
22 hours ago, Mr Luxury said:I like to read all posts on a board good or bad rather than trying to be the moderator.
I seek views from all on cc not just cheerleaders and influencers
shame that some take negatives about their favorite cruiseline to be a personal attack
as an 'outsider' I worry that on board I would be snubbed by the crystal clique (old or new)

sorry you had bad experiences
problems seem to come down to no planning for early flight arrival, bad wifi, uncomfortable furniture and food & tours you did not like

sorry I do not understand why you did not
you had opportunity to raise issues at the time and even to speak with a good gm, the president & another director
why wait till after the cruise and then spill out your misery on social media

The musical groups (one cleverly named "A Band On Ship" ) were top notch
so john barron is still using that old joke 🤣

So, the Regent definition of unlimited is much different than the Webster definition of unlimited.
is your argument that regent should add many more excursions in every port visited or that the ships should not visit ports where the infrastructure cannot support many tours or that regent should choose another word instead of unlimited or do you simply like complaining

I don't know if anyone has asked this or is interested but my next 2 Crystal cruises are a b2b and a b2b2b. I hoped that I could apply 5 credits because really 5 cruises, but no, just 2 credits. They are treated as 2 cruises. But some credit is better than none. I didn't think I would see any of that money. Julia
make 2 bookings for the b2b & 3 for the b2b2b if credits exceed the b2b saving

Nothing changes as far as the base cruise cost. If anything the price has gone up.
but the small print in the flyer in post#1 says
*40% savings is off of the cruise-only fare portion of total fare, which excludes applicable air and Free hotel fare/credit. Guests will receive a cruise-only fare savings of up to 40% on select voyages when selecting Premium Economy Air promotion

a surprising offer
if i was running new crystal i would be incentivising new cruisers not existing cristallites or giving back money to those already booked
an odd way to run a new business

what happens if a refund is received through the insolvency proceedings after a discounted cruise has been booked & paid

How are operating costs being reduced in order to service the enormous debt that NCLH holds?
How are increases in fuel and supply costs being handled?
Are significant price increases, or cuts in customer service, to be expected?
Given the parlous state of the cruise industry how does NCLH justify the enormous payouts being made to outgoing senior executives from NCLH, Regent and Oceania?

We have met former friends/staffers from Crystal on all three and they are happy and thriving.
so why would they want to leave secure jobs to join a new unproven cruise line with 2 old ships 🤔

New Crystal hasn't sailed yet so care to detail is unknown.
Crystal as it was is no longer in operation.
Easily mixed up when new owners jump on the back of the old company.

just a statement of fact
5 hours ago, Mr Luxury said:I get the same old crew,same old ships,same old hotel directors
why do they come back to work on old crystal ship? better pay? less work? more tips? better cabin? easier life? or not good enough for other luxury ships?

why compare new crystal price - new company no history inclusions unknown - with old crystal - bankrupt not sailing

polite suggestion why not replace cruise & maritime voyages roll calls (defunct for 3 years) with ambassador roll calls
not right that new crystal (2 old ships not sailing) has roll calls board but not ambassador

I'm seriously considering cancelling our 2024 cruise on Regent, and not booking anymore. You've done a really poor job of representing Regent to the rest of us. Regent has been our favorite cruise line since we started cruising back in 2017.
so you will cancel your favorite cruise line on the basis of perceived slights on social media from others trying to help 🤔
nose v face

some say that only a name & 2 ships were purchased not a cruise line
but the press release says that crystal cruises has relaunched & references 3 decades of award winning voyages
same name, same ships, same president, same database, same influencers
if it looks like a duck ...........

Drills do work -- especially for the age group you typically find on a RSSC cruise.
for the regent age group most will not remember it 5 minutes later

I wish some one, our TA or cruise line, would have warned us to count blank pages. We know to have the 6 months post trip validity, but no one ever mentioned blank pages
validity of passport & visas is your personal responsibility
if you still have 3 blank pages then there should be no problem

sorry, I had no idea that the term is considered offensive. I thought cruisers were proud to support their favorite cruiseline
yours was a very disturbing story but good that you had an enjoyable experience on board
I worried that Crystal cruisers might only welcome sycophants or those with nothing negative to say about this cruiseline with a very troubled history
very true
touchy and needlessly defensive
