Rare Keith1010 Posted June 20, 2023 #576 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I will add another good thing. I reached out to on board guests services a couple of times for assistance in the last 24 hours Answers came back quickly and complete. I know someone else who had a similar experience. Although I am sure there will be times when the turn-around time take longer than it did and maybe the answer is not what someone was looking for, I was very impressed with each response so I thought I would share that with you.

That's right, the in-suite fridges are meant to keep drinks cold, but they are not cold enough to reliably prevent the buildup of bacteria in leftovers.

Well, that certainly explains what happened after I made a quick lunch of the five day old Wiener Schnitzel I had saved on my last cruise. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claudiaYVR Posted June 22, 2023 Author #589 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I realize the FB stories are only available for 24 hours. I won't post any more links but it appears Crystal is now posting on FB and Instagram every day so for those of you who have access to either, just follow Crystal and you should see them. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know your age but I'm going to assume based on your question that you are an "old fogey". Us oldies don't get how the youngsters are into "social media". As has been stated numerous times, Crystal can't rely on their prior guests, they have to attract "new blood". So, they have to go where that blood hangs out! 😉 Patty 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmoodle Posted June 23, 2023 #595 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I'm not saying to replicate social media with member exchanges and such. I think they should be able to put the video I cannot see above on their web site. They already do that somewhat under press releases. So more views, and maybe no cost depending on how they run their web site. I'm sure my grandson would be willing to update their web site for next to nothing. Maybe a nice lunch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embowaf Posted June 28, 2023 #596 Share Posted June 28, 2023 These videos mostly exit to get your attention and get you to go look at Crystal which, if you're already on their site, you're already doing. Yes, for some of us, getting little glimpses of new chairs in the Crystal Cove is exciting, but that's pretty niche and not really a priority I would assume. Also, I work for an intentionally unnamed large scale video distribution company, and serving video on your own website is more complex engineering, bandwidth, and cost wise, so it's better to just host it somewhere that will let you do that for free.

And not the most desirable areas Can you elaborate on what areas you refer to?

No one knows for sure, but the "guess" is the ones not being booked to the public will be used by entertainers, lecturers and other enrichment people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
