November 17,2023 Crystal Serenity
One of the first things that Timmy did when we boarded on Monday was to label the light switches. He did this for me on Symphony – several days into that cruise. I guess he tired of me switching every light on in search of the living room ceiling lights. There are at least eight (not exaggerating) banks of light switches in our suite.
An ongoing joy on this “reunion cruise” ? We continue to run into crew members who took such good care of us on previous cruises…
On board Symphony last month, the famed Chardonnay had not yet been delivered…so I was beside myself with happiness when Adrian told us that a generous supply had arrived on Serenity in Boston. So freaking lucky. If you’ve been paying attention, you know I love New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs. If I ever drink a Chardonnay…it’s a steel barrel Chardonnay. The Matsuhisa Chardonnay is fermented in oak barrels…but to me, tastes like no other Chardonnay that I’ve ever had. Beyond delicious.
We are so fortunate that the new owners were able to resume the partnership between Crystal and Nobu. Let’s face it, we are beyond fortunate that the new owners resurrected the brand and the ships and returned our beloved crew to us ♥️♥️♥️
The evening’s entertainment featured a very talented Bruce Hammond in the Galaxy Lounge. Bruce was accompanied by the Crystal Show-band. His show is titled “A Salute to Sinatra” …such a wonderful show…so many great songs…we loved every minute.
Another exceptional day on board this beautiful ship. Thanks for following along.
