Choice is good. Even Billy Joel’s music is approaching 50 years old. Beatles even older. If current musical selections, bands, entertainment , etc. are important determination for cruise selection, Crystal is currently ensconced in the mid 20th century. One should make their holiday plans accordingly.

Aquamarine and up.

What could be better? Sunset at sea and the Prego mushroom soup delivered via butler. Nice. Happy sailors. 😁😁 Rob & Jim

Today’s snack tray.

Back to the OP’ s original question. There was a cabin open house today. The seas today are slight, but there’s a decent headwind. There’s a bit of motion going on. Rooms 11007, 9005 and 8029 were open. These are forward of the forward stairs. The motion-of-the-ocean was considerably more pronounced in these three rooms than the open house rooms located midship or further aft. Just thought for consideration, depending how affected one is by motion. Rob

Updated menus. Continued user error. (Hey, I’m on holiday….lol) 6A9E09CB-9BC1-43B7-BF50-30CDDCBD6A65.pdf

Choice is good. We’re dining in Tastes tonight. Menu attached. However, we may need a pre-dinner Waterside mushroom soup diversion…. Rob DEF528FB-2FD2-436C-9B4A-7EE5E2B93340.pdf

Just walk in.

Although Serenity rides the waves pretty well, we try to avoid all rooms located forward of the forward stairs. There’s a reason those rooms are priced lower. We did it once. Never again. Rob

For those that stay up for pizza at 11pm, they’re still serving salmon pizza on formal nights. No one eats the salmon pizza. Seafood has no business on a pizza. Ever. Especially as midnight bar snacks. Hopefully they used up all the salmon bits last night. Lol 🤣😆🥴

Sandbar closed today. As it appears all the vehicle rental venues.

The median pax age on this cruise skews rather elderly. Many pax seem to wear “comfy” shoes, not necessarily as a fashion statement, but as a medical necessity.

Unfortunately, it’s Sunday and most venues are closed today.

On the beach. We’re the only ship in port today. It’s very nice. Rob

Nice beach day. Rob

Formal night observations: perhaps 10-15% +/- gentlemen wearing tuxes. The vast majority, including us, wearing dark suits. The ladies were all elegantly attired. From full-on sparkly gowns, pantsuits, cocktail dresses and everything in between. Impression: virtually everyone last night respected the formal dress. It was nice to see everyone wearing their best. Rob

Arrived Grand Turk. A couple of views from deck 11. Rob

Oh my. You’re on the early shift, we’re on the late shift. We closed down the Avenue with Mark Farris around 12:30a. Now on our second set of double expresso’s in the Bistro. Two lectures this morning, another this afternoon. Caviar, oysters and lobster on the menu tonight. 😁😁👍🏻 Rob

Cruise ship parking lot in Miami today. We Uber’d from hotel at 11am. Were onboard by 11:45a and lunched in waterside at noon. Seamless. Met Mark Farris on the pier and towed him onboard with us. He’s only on this cruise till we return to Miami in 2 weeks.
