Crystal Serenity Day 1 Vancouver

We always are excited to cruise and today was no exception.  As we mentioned, our first Crystal Cruise was in 2002 with our children and future son-in-law on-board Crystal Harmony.  We sailed an Alaska Cruise R/T San Francisco.  

We had a wonderful time and were Crystalized shortly after we boarded.  We celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary on that cruise.  

We have sailed Alaska on board Harmony, Symphony and multiple times on Serenity and on three other Cruise ships.

We have sailed the equivalent of almost four years on Crystal Serenity so returning to Serenity is the equivalent of returning home.

​Our hotel room had beautiful panoramic views including looking over Canada Place.  While we were eating breakfast we could see Serenity under the bridge and in time she sailed towards Canada Place.  

As per our tradition we had embarkation lunch at Waterside and we enjoyed a Cobb Salad and Flute of Champagne and toasted our love for one another and another wonderful adventure. We saw Paolo outside Waterside and Leo the Restaurant Manager is now back on board and greeted us along with Senior Head Waiter Jacques and we were taken care of Senior Waiter Marcin who took care of us during the Holiday Cruise and Waiter Nitish who is new to Crystal.  Great lunch.  

We spoke with several nice guests, Norm and his wife, Carolyn and Nancy plus as we were leaving we saw Allen and his lovely wife.
 
We are going to end now.  We are very excited to be back on Crystal Serenity and sailing with our number one cruise line Crystal

Cheers,
