MONTE CARLO

We kicked off last night with a Gala. It was formal night on-board. It was held in the Crystal Cove. It was one if not one of the most amazing events I have seen held in the Cove. Three continuous hours of entertainment by the on-board entertainment team and some brought on from land. From land this included vocalists and a classical orchestra.  In addition, there were Crystal vocalists and dancers and band, violinist and it was a delight.  Waiters and Bar teams with canapes and drinks and cocktail tables set out.  

This was the first time Keith was in a tuxedo and Anne Marie in a gown since World Cruise 2019.  For 2020 we wore formal attire such as a suit for Keith and Cocktail dress for Anne Marie.  

Dinner at Waterside. What could be better? The menu was terrific and has so many favorites.

​

We arrived to Monte Carlo last evening.  We have been here many times most recently in 2018 and 2019.  We had some things we needed to take care of around the ship today including appointments with the Head Sommelier, Crew Officer and one of the Monte Carlo members of the Crystal team so we decided to do all of this today and not tour around as we've done in the past.

Keith did go on a run up to the Palace.  Was very careful when in the cross walks knowing the cars do not stop but suddenly this bicycle comes out of nowhere at a crazy speed. Good news Keith is back to write about it.  Ugh!


We love the Crystal Crew.

​

We also enjoyed the day on-board Serenity doing similar things as we did yesterday.  We are always happy to visit ports and also make Crystal Serenity or Symphony our destination for one or more days.

Day also included walks and a couple of hours of Paddle Tennis with friends.  Hot…Hot…Hot

Cheers,

​Anne Marie & Keith
