Port webcam. A friend of mine took some photos.

Getting close! 7:10am

It’s 12:01 am on Monday, 31 July 2023 in France. Thus, today’s the day! Bon voyage everyone. Have a fabulous time.

I hope so. My favorite, Remy Martin VSOP cognac is not on the list.

Crystal Serenity, Welcome to Naples!!!

Getting nice welcome from the fire boat!!!

Might be. I can't read the name on the back of the ship.

Read this: "If you're unfortunate enough to be on an early sailing of a vessel that's canceled due to shipyard delays, you'll usually be offered a full refund plus some sort of "we're so sorry" bonus. In the case of the recently delayed Explora 1, passengers on the canceled maiden voyage were offered not just a full refund but also a credit for an entire future cruise."

This policy seems particularly disadvantageous to solos. If solos wait to book on board so as to get the onboard booking discount, they run the risk of the limited number of solo rooms being sold out.

All my claims came combined into one certificate.

Ivi, They made two errors in my claims in one case saying that a credit card refund for a summer Alaska cruise applied to a Miami spring cruise. Rather boggles the mind. It's been over a month since I sent them documentation. I'm still waiting for the corrections. I call every 7-10 days or so and keep getting told them are working on it, or it's in the queue or they'll get back to me, which they never do. Good luck!!

If you choose to arrange for air travel independently, you may purchase embarkation and disembarkation airport transfers from Crystal up to seven (7) days prior to the cruise. Email: TRANSFERS@CRYSTALCRUISES.COM

A 30+ page Before You Sail Guide is now available. Log into your account, select your reservation, select reservation documents. There it is.

Thanks

Thanks!!!

This is what I was referring to: See post #1.

Previously there was a post that said the first three segments on the Symphony would have no formal nights. I note the 3rd segment, Venice to Rome is 8 days. As per the above it would have a formal night. Which is correct?

Thanks for posting, Terry. How does one submit the completed form? Also, will afternoon tea and/or MarketPlace be open on embarkation day?

I recall pre-COVID they were.

Thanks for sharing, Terry.

Is Symphony VR size still 12 people?
