Day 16 Sea Day

Last evening began with the Captain’s Party including the Crystal Society Recognition. Several Society Members were recognized with flowers and several were mentioned for Milestones on this cruise.
 
Afterwards we had dinner with a fellow gues Ida.Keith had met her and her late husband in 2022 at the Hotel Borg in Reykjavik, Iceland. We had checked into the hotel following our cruise circumnavigating Iceland on the former Crystal expedition ship. They were sitting in the lobby awaiting to leave for the ship and Keith struck up a conversation. Fast forward to July 31, 2023 and we saw them several times on the Crystal Serenity Inaugural Cruise while we walked daily inside the ship and on the Promenade Deck.

We have seen her most days of this cruise and extended an invite for dinner.

Dinner was wonderful between our conversations, the amazing waitstaff, the beautiful dining venue and the delicious food.

Let's talk food.

French Onion Soup for Anne Marie and Seared Ahi Tuna for Keith.

Caesar Salads followed by Wiener Schnitzel.  Only difference is Keith had his with an over easy fried egg on top. We learned about this from one of the Butlers we had on Bahama cruises we took in 2021. It's very similar to what is called Schnitzel a la Holstein.

And then there was the wine.  The ladies enjoyed Far Ninety Winery Chardonnay a very pleasant wine. Keith enjoyed La Sirena, Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley.

This is the Daily Reflections Program.

The good news is we turned back the clocks one hour before retiring to bed.

This was the last day of the cruise and a sea day. Lots of programs on the schedule.  The program included three lectures; First was sailing the ancient world.  Next was the mind of the Psychopath. Final one was the third part of the Rapid Rise of AI.

We are enjoying the day at sea speaking with members of the crew and fellow guests.  We enjoyed lunch at Waterside with CEO Christina Levis and her husband Enzo Visone who used to head of Silversea.

Tomorrow morning this cruise ends in Fort Lauderdale and the next cruise sails round trip Fort Lauderdale over New Years. We will be on that cruise before departing on January 7.
 
Cheers,

​Anne Marie & Keith
