Great information. I am sorry that I didn't read your post before I responded as this is what we did. IF I did I wouldn't have responded. Keith

This is what we did. Booked for ourselves. Then had each party book same date and time and venue. Then wrote to on board guest services and had them combine them which they did. Or you could just book yourself and have them do others eliminating first step. Just give them your booking number and the other two booking numbers. Other option is for your TA to do this but I found it easy to do this myself. Very easy.. E Mail is: obgsATcrystalcruisesDOTcom Make AT: @ Make DOT: . Keith

Pat, the person at the Lounge desk knew the gate location for the flight out of LHR to Marseille about 15 minutes before it was put-on the flight monitor. That was about 1 hour before flight time. We walked about 10 minutes to the gate. This will vary based on the gate they use. Safe travels to you and Ray. Keith

Thank you so much and the site is up and active. Keith

I received your e-mail and wrote you back. I am so glad you wrote. Keith

In general very few people had masks on. At our home airport maybe we saw a couple of people and the airport was packed. We normally take early morning flights and this one was early evening and got there very early. Lounge was wall to wall people. On the flight no one that could see had a mask. In BA LHR lounge a couple of people. We wore masks the entire time because of Anne Marie's situation as we still do at home other than eating. Our driver to the hotel was very nice and a couple of minutes into the drive asked about the masks and if we wanted him to put one on. Haven't walked around yet but will see what people are doing here but my guess is very few masks. Keith

Pat and Ray: We went through security there. No longer a need for a landing card. Terminal 3 lounge great. Very quiet. Sat all the way in the back. To get from Terminal 5 to 3 we took a airport bus. You'll see your luggage in Marseille. Keith

We will learn next week. My guess is movies as it was. Afternoon movie and showings each night. Keith

Thank you. Safe travels to you and I also hope we meet you. Glad those bags are packed. Keith

Thank you Roy. Keith

Thank you. Oh those bags are empty. LOL When I lifted each one to place them on the scale at the airport I wish they were empty. Although a foot or so off the ground It was a challenge and this is from someone who is in good shape. Keith

Many thanks. Keith

Thank you for the kind wishes and kind words. Keith

I always enjoy transiting the Panama Canal. Keith

Photos from a group dinner last night at Nobu (Umi Uma) which is why you see this type of menu. Food looks great.

Thank you all for the good wishes. We landed at London Heathrow on schedule and are waiting in one of the Airline Lounges for our next flight. The good news is the flight was uneventful. I always say the toughest thing about cruising is getting between home and the ship. One day they will say beam me up Scottie. Not in our time although it would be nice as long as they can put us together again. Cheers, Keith

Got it now keith

Our adventure has started. Picket up at home 10 minutes early. Very nice driver. Arrive to the airport in about 45 minutes. She was moving but safely. We arrived by Noon. Had lunch. Expected ticket counter to open around 3:00 pm to 3:30 pm. They opened at 2:20 pm. Made it through TSA Pre Check in a breeze. Relaxing in the airline lounge of the partner airline. We are very excited to begin this trip. We are thrilled with all that we've seen from the present cruise through the various TA's on board. Some I know. Others I have connected with. Just think 14 months ago people didn't know if Crystal would be back. And here we are and Crystal is back and I believe it will be better than ever. Life is good. Well, life is great. Here we come Crystal Serenity. We can't wait to return home. Cheers, Keith

Patty you are right. Keith

There are three possibilities. Classic which are the original room/suites. Then redesigned 2018 which are mainly the Seabreeze. In fact all are Seabreeze. And then redesigned 2023 which are the new ones. I don't see any classic with a date. But maybe after answering so many questions today my brain is frazzled. Keith

These are photos of the CP. I hope this give you a nice idea. The CP's have not changed other than a couple of small items. Each of the four CP's on Serenity has a different color scheme. And the little fellas nor the clothes come with the CP. LOL. Keith

Yes. Somehow it all works out. Keith

I’m at the airport now. I didn’t post the CO as it has not changed. In a few days I can post photos but might need a reminder.

I know some of you want the solo room but that was not on the tour that the TA's had today. Keith

It is there They are posted. Please just look at all the previous posts. Keith
