I can't say enough about Crystal Cruises. Even though everyone on the ship was older, in their 60's, this was not a problem for me and my new husband (I'm 34, he's 33.)

Two words: outstanding service. It was almost embarrassing the amount of times we were asked if we needed anything, I was wondering if maybe we looked unhappy or something. Everyone is so attentive, the stewardesses are excellent, the ship is beautiful, the food is the stuff of culinary dreams...all you could ask for in a cruise. I will never, ever sail HAL again after experiencing the joy of a Crystal Cruise.

All in all, an 11 out of 10.

Don't get scared by the prices. There are some good deals now and then, but even so, every dollar is worth it. I would rather pay the price of two cruises on HAL and sail on Crystal once. Talk about pampering yourself!!

You must try it, even if you can only afford to go once in your lifetime.
