Have you cruised before, and felt like your hand was in your pocket all the time? Did you check out of the cruise cabin, and find that to settle your shipboard account, you ended up paying out more than you paid for the cruise?
Well – maybe it’s time you thought of sailing on Crystal!
Crystal’s new “All Inclusive” policy creates a more seamless cruise experience. By moving to all inclusive, Crystal Cruises is doing away with the traditional concept of onboard spending and transactions making for a more worry-free vacation experience.
Crystal has been voted “World’s Best” more than any other cruise line, hotel or resort in the history of travel, so – that status can only further validate that Crystal is the perfect choice. And, more than half of all travelers who sail with Crystal are repeat guests.
And with all that history of being the “best,” and customer loyalty – now, onboard Crystal, you will no longer have to sign for alcoholic beverages. Complimentary fine wines and premium spirits will now be available throughout the ship with open bar service in all lounges. (For those who desire it and are willing to pay a little extra, Crystal will continue to offer an optional Connoisseurs’ List of reasonably priced award-winning, renowned and/or rare vintages, select single malt whiskeys and other aged spirits.)
Further, the new “All-Inclusive” service also eliminates the need to sign for gratuities.
Crystal’s “All-Inclusive” service ensures that guests can be continually entertained, day and night, without having to sign their name to any checks. Daytime activities include golf, jogging along Crystal’s wrap-around deck, yoga, Pilates, paddle tennis, shuffleboard and bridge, relaxing in the library with a good book, or watching a new movie or old favorite in the Hollywood Theatre.
Plus, there’s Crystal’s complimentary Creative Learning Institute.
And the Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity each feature an exceptional variety of full-service dining options including the main Crystal Dining Room, two specialty restaurants – Silk Road and The Sushi Bar and Prego – casual eateries and themed buffets, as well as 24-hour room service.
