​                 BAHAMAS ESCAPE

DAY 18  - NASSAU

UNTIL NEXT TIME

Waterside Dinner Menus from last evening.

​
We enjoyed our last cruise in the room last night.   We began  with  a nice assortment of appetizers  and we  had  some credits which we  used for caviar for Keith.  We also enjoyed Don Perignon Champagne (2008) to celebrate the end of an amazing adventure  and toasted  our love for one another.

Having had lots  of appetizers we didn't have an appetizer  for dinner.  We enjoyed salads, swordfish  for Anne  Marie and  butterfly swordfish for Keith.  Dinner was delicious. 
We have had an amazing time from start to finish of this adventure.  We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Rosewood Baha Mar as the excitement built to join Serenity.

We will never forget our arrival to the ship.  We were assisted with our luggage by the Chief Security Officer Sanjev and welcomed home by other members of his team.  Adjacent to security was Head Waiter Augusto who we have known for years and he gave us encouragement to dine at Waterside that evening.  As soon as we walked a few more steps into the interior of the ship there were several members of the crew and they cheered and applauded as we entered.  We cannot explain the emotions we felt.  We were home with the people we adore.  We felt the excitement at the Reception Desk and as we walked the stairwells many of the stateroom and penthouse attendants were present and so many familiar  people we know.
Due to Anne Marie's health situation a prerequisite for us to sail was getting one of the four Crystal Penthouse Suites for both voyages.  We knew she would spend a lot more time in our room and having the space of the CP including lots of space for dinner was very important to us.  We stayed in a CP in 2017  when we brought our family including children, spouses and three of the five grandchildren at the time as the other two were not yet born.  We renewed our vows in the CP and had some dinners there and it was a great room for the grandchildren to stay in when we arranged for two Crystal crew members to babysit for them while the adults went to the Vintage Room.  In 2019 we had the CP for two cruises as a large portion of those days was inclusive after we reached our 100th Crystal Society Milestone.  These are photos of the Crystal  Penthouse.

​
We depart Crystal Serenity in a couple of hours so we will post now.

In a few days after we get settled at home we will post a summary of the cruise.

We hope you have enjoyed our Blog.   Thank you for following along.

Please stay  tuned for our next Crystal Cruises adventure coming soon.

Cheers,

Anne Marie & Keith

Thanks, as always, it is great that you got to travel and it sounds as if it was a great trip - a real Crystal experience. I do worry that you sometimes spend too much time keeping us informed vs. enjoying yourselves.
Looking forward to future blogs and hoping we can be on the same cruise with you some day.
THANKS

Thank you for taking us on your wonderful journey. The information and photos you provided are very helpful.
We are scheduled to board in Nassau on October 2nd for 7 days. We have cruised before but not with Crystal and we are very excited.
We are from Canada and staying tuned into Cruise Critic for updates regarding return COVID testing as of now a PCR test is required

Hi Keith, thank you for posting photos of your Crystal Penthouse Suite. I was surprised to see there is a kitchen with a microwave. We are hoping to be able to take another Crystal cruise but I have a respiratory condition and need to nebulize daily. The nebulizer cups and another attachment need to be boiled for 10 minutes after each use. I can bring enough for a few days but at some point would have to be sterilized. I could use microwave bags but that would not suffice and put me at risk for an infection. Do you know of any way I could accomplish this while onboard? I wonder if a hot plate or something like an Instant Pot would be allowed in a regular Penthouse or a Crystal Penthouse although I know there are strict rules in that regard.. I was glad to hear Anne Marie did not have any health issues on your cruise which can be a challenge. I would appreciate it if you don't put these comments on your blog. You can email me if that's okay with you. Thanks for all you do. Carole
