DAY AT SEA

The sea swells were quite strong prior to dinner and rather evident while getting ready for dinner including showering. By the time we went to dinner seas had calmed a bit making it much easier to walk down the stairs from our deck to deck 5 and not feel that we had something with alcohol to drink. LOL. 
​

These are the dinner menus from last night in Waterside where we dined for our first dinner of this young cruise.

We enjoyed a fantastic dinner of soup, salad and swordfish and some dessert. The seas behaved themselves and it was much calmer when we dined compared to one or two hours earlier.
​


We were taken care of by an extraordinary team. It began with Restaurant Manager Remi seating us and extended to Head Waiter Eva, Senior Waiter Hannah and Sommelier Sanella. Also Senior Head Waiter Bojen and Head Sommelier Goran stopping by a couple of times to check on our meal.  

The service was equivalent to a Michelin restaurant. It was attentive, personable and professional.  
​

Today was a sea day and this showcasing Crystal enrichment with close to forty events on the program and that doesn’t even include breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea or snacks. LOL.  Three lectures that covered Unity and Diversity in the UK, the Future of the Royal Family, and British English/American English: Our Common Tongue? Divided or Shared Language. The emphasis was on the UK given where we will be sailing.  

We walked inside the ship on Deck 6 to get our steps in as this is where most many of the public lounges and restaurants are located.  We met Cruise Director Vicki for our very first time as she was with Doctor Soto who we know very well.  As we were getting ready to walk up the steps we saw Captain Nenad and we caught up with him. We last saw the Captain when we sailed in 2018.  We sailed with the Captain many times when he was Vice Captain on Serenity prior to going over to the former Crystal Esprit Yacht as the Captain.   We will see them all this evening at the Captain's Welcome Reception.

It's been another wonderful day on-board Crystal Symphony and many more hours left to go.
