TER777 Posted June 21 #2 Share Posted June 21 Some nice choices. Friends and I are already booking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNugent Posted June 21 #3 Share Posted June 21 Thanks. My December 2024 and March 2025 cruises were cancelled. Will definitely be booking two or three back to back of the new cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krb1000 Posted June 22 #4 Share Posted June 22 Terry, thank you for posting this. We had been looking at the January 18- February 4, 2025 Singapore to Hong Kong voyage. It is no longer showing…and has disappeared from my “saved’ cruises in “Mt Account” …but a 27 day January 18 Singapore to Yakahama and an 11 day February 4 Hong Kong to Yakahama is listed…I am really hoping that the 16 day Singapore to Hong Kong was left off inadvertently …I’ve reached out to Crystal and I’m waiting to hear. Any (reassuring) insights would be welcome.😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any (reassuring) insights would be welcome.😊 They left the old cruises up - hopefully they remove them soon to avoid confusion Sadly I think your old preference is gone - they’re basically going to Tokyo and then heading back via Singapore etc to Africa and the trip back to the Med in March - there are some nice itineraries though and talking to several friends I suspect the Crystal bookings people are already very busy. I saw one cruise where the Single cabin category was already showing a call for wait listing note! So as always book while you can as for done categories they’ll move pretty quickly I suspect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect the SIN-HK cruise still exists. There’s no reason for it not to. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feist Posted June 22 #8 Share Posted June 22 Happy to report I have, I believe, with thanks to my TA, booked cruises as substitutes for November and May Symphony cancellations. I am most grateful for all the very helpful and informative posts here, with a special shout out to TER777. Hope you all are equally successful! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calliopecruiser Posted June 22 #10 Share Posted June 22 The category availability on some legs are going up and down rapidly as people put down deposits then change their minds a few times. I'm booked on the first 3 - Barcelona to Seychelles B2B2B. More than half are sea days (my favourite). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, some of the cancelled cruises are still up - they haven't made all the changes they need to. My cancelled Piraeus to Mumbai cruise is still on their website too.

The Athens to Barcelona cruise is a big yawner, so we are going to re-book a cruise in 2025, Hope Crystal weathers this storm!😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, from those of us who have been sailing Crystal from the beginning, this management team is FAR from the worst Crystal has had. Even the recent ones weren’t the worst. I’ve generally been pretty impressed with NC so far. Vince 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whipsnade Posted June 27 #19 Share Posted June 27 I wonder how many guests they will have from Ghana to Capetown. Maybe enough to fill the large round table in Waterside. Just learned they do not plan to announce end of 25 and early 26 Symphony itins until “later this year.” Looks like they are hoping they will be able to go back to Red Sea by then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ryndam Posted June 28 #21 Share Posted June 28 14 hours ago, Whipsnade said: I wonder how many guests they will have from Ghana to Capetown. Maybe enough to fill the large round table in Waterside. The alternative is to dead-head, sans any passengers on this repositioning voyage. Or roll-the-dice and go empty, again, through the Suez Canal. For anyone looking for a 3-week, warm weather get-away with lots of sea days (any many Crystal cruisers seem to bemoan the dearth of consecutive sea days on recently scheduled NC voyages), this is an opportunity for a very leisurely cruise at a very competitive per-diem (combined b2b Barcelona-Cape Town). With a Xmas eve arrival in Cape Town! I hope there's a financial break-even point achieved on this voyage. Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whipsnade Posted June 28 #22 Share Posted June 28 If we weren’t already committed to Serenity we would love the long sea days along Africa coast. And an empty ship means an empty pool. What joy!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to report that we were able to book Singapore to Hong Kong 16 days…it’s still not showing on the website…a missed opportunity for folks like us who do not wish to be in Japan in February. 🩵 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted July 1 #24 Share Posted July 1 One thing I wanted to mention is one of the items I brought to Crystal's attention last week is that when you go to I believe the first full cruise of January of 2025 (could be the second one) and then hit next it skips to March. I suggest they check all of them even ones I didn't look at. They got back to me right away saying they would get this fixed. I've reports a few other related items.
