Crystal Serenity Day 6 - Sitka

We wanted to begin by mentioning that on today’s program was a special movie presentation by renowned fil producer and IOC member Anant Singh which presents Paris 1924: An Olympic Epic which celebrates the 100-year anniversary of the games returning to Paris in 1924.  Anant and his wife were at the dinner we attended the other evening at Waterside on Friday evening.  


We enjoyed Serenity last evening.

These are the dinner menus from last night at Waterside

We dined at Umi Uma for the first time of this cruise.

We first dined at Umi Uma which back then was called Silk Road in 2005 when we sailed Crystal Serenity for the very first time.  Crystal Serenity was the first Crystal vessel to feature the cuisine of Nobu.  Due to its popularity it eventually was added to Crystal Symphony. 

We think bringing Umi Uma (Nobu) back when Crystal was relaunched demonstrated the commitment that the new ownership has to elevate the luxury experience of Crystal as is the case with Osteria and replacing Tastes with Beefbar.

Dinner was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed the sushi, sashimi, starter course and entree in this beautiful dining venue.  Adding to the special cuisine and venue is the outstanding level of service of the waitstaff team.  We have known the vast majority of the waitstaff since 2005.  They are kind, knowledgable and professional and add tremendously to the overall dining experience.

We sailed last evening and this morning to our next port of call; Sitka Alaska.  We arrived shortly before 9:00 AM.  Sitka is Russia's former New World Capital.  
​

We were fortunate to have great weather today as we've had for most of the voyage.  

It's been another great day sailing Crystal Serenity with stops in terrific ports. Keith even got in a couple of great games of Paddle Tennis. What a wonderful world.

Cheers,

Anne Marie & Keith
