Crystal Cruises Review
A Premium Cruise Line

Crystal cruises was established fairly recently in 1988 and they built their first ship in 1990. Even so, Crystal cruise has quickly risen to be one of the best in the luxury cruise lines. This extravagant cruise line has established itself in high regards in all areas which include service, dining, accommodations, venues and décor. If you continue to read, you’ll find out why their motto is “The difference is crystal clear.”

Crystal cruises are for those who are use to living or want to experience extravagant lifestyles. This cruise line is all about pampering its passengers by providing a deluxe atmosphere that many only dream about. Of course with luxury like this there is a price and you should be prepared to spend if you’re considering this cruise line. However, the benefits are that the majority of things are complimentary on the ship, such as drinks. Also rooms are filled with quality complimentary products; such as lavishing your skin in Aveeno products, so you know that passengers are treated with the highest quality.

The three main things that Crystal cruise prides itself in is service, dining and spaciousness. They have the highest staff to guest ratio, where it’s about 1 server to 2 guests. This ensures that all passengers receive the amount of attention they deserve and also all needs will be fulfilled without hesitation. Their staff is European trained to provide exceptional service and many often compliment them on their attentiveness, courtesy and of course their friendliness. You will feel like a VIP at all times but not smothered, instead they become your friends who understand your needs.

Other cruise lines have restrictive dining hours that some passengers find frustrating, however Crystal cruises there are several settings with different menus everyday. You won’t get bored of the food because the menus are always filled with a huge variety to accommodate different tastes.

The setting of the cruise is very elegant; many travelers feel that is it like a floating upscale resort and spa. Since the Crystal cruises are so grand in scale they are able to be more innovative with their facilities. Most importantly the rooms are larger than standard cruises and of course when you upscale your room you won’t believe how amazing the difference is.

They are able to create a very carefree atmosphere; they are so good at what they do that you will definitely forget about all your worries once you’re on the ship. The lasting impression they have on travelers is their ability to maintain a constant cheerful spirit throughout your vacation. You finish the vacation not only feeling good about the experience but feeling good about yourself as well.

Some of the unique qualities of Crystal cruises are that they have longer cruise trips that cover trans-ocean crossings. When you do this, you have a choice between crossing the Atlantic of the Pacific oceans, this let’s you experience traveling the world the old fashion way which many find to be very romantic. Another quality is their festive holiday cruises. They decorate the ships in a festive winter wonderland theme and travel to warm destinations. There most legendary cruise event is the New Year’s party which will have you celebrating the New Year long after the countdown is over.

Crystal cruises offer so many amenities it would be hard to keep track of but to help facilitate their passengers they have created a Crystal society. Joining the society will give you members’ special offers and also a rewards program. They are constantly looking for more ways to please their passengers and guests so signing up for their Crystal society would be extremely beneficial.
