We disembarked the ship on Sunday and spent the day with Anne Marie’s Brother, Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins in Los Angeles. We arrived home later Monday evening and are now all settled back at home.
The cruise exceeded our expectations in almost every way imaginable. While the ship was sold out, it rarely ever seemed crowded.
This was our first sailing on the Crystal Symphony since its dry-dock in the fall of 2009.
For us, highlights included the new enhancements to the ship, the outstanding service, the wonderful cuisine, the extraordinary enrichment program, the evening entertainment, the overall itinerary, the wonderful people that we sailed with, special performances and lectures including all of the ones given by Jim Brochu, Roger McGuinn and Steve Schalchlin and the extra amenities that were part of this being a Crystal Society Sailing.
The special Crystal Society events were wonderful and so were the Meet and Mingle Party and the French Fry Party along with the sail away parties. The sail-away party from Puerto Vallarta was one of the best ever sail-away parties we have ever experienced.
We will remember all of the memorable lunches, dinners and chats we had with so many fellow guests and lecturers.
We made memories on this voyage, which will last a lifetime.
When we boarded the ship in New York City, many of the crew on the first day said welcome home. This says it all. Sailing on Crystal has that family feeling and each time we board the ship we feel that we are coming home.
It is fitting that our final post occurs on Thanksgiving Day as we truly have much to be thankful about. We wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving Day and hope this is a very special day for each of you.
TODAY’S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”
