Cruise # 31- "Black Sea" Cruise onboard "Crystal Symphony"- July, 2013

For 12 Nights we called the "Crystal Symphony" our Home as we sailed from Rome to Istanbul to the "Black Sea" on the highest rated Cruiseline in the World... Ultra-Luxurious & All-Inclusive "Crystal Cruises"! We've been wanting to sail with these guys for years due to their Quality & Reputation (they've been rated # 1 19 years in a row) and they didn't disappoint. Can a Cruise be perfect? Crystal certainly comes close!! :-) (Read our full review on Crystal Cruises here: http://nancyandshawnpower.com/crystal-cruises-review/)

About a year ago or so Crystal became an “All-Inclusive” Cruise-line which means no paying for soft drinks, alcoholic drinks, specialty restaurants, gratuities, fitness classes, computer classes, self-service laundry, etc. Sometimes when Shawn explains this to his clients though, some people ask him is the Alcohol quality pretty low-end... apparently All-Inclusive land resorts can be like that? Anyways, here’s Shawn showing an example of a drink menu at one of the Lounges and what the drink quality is like.
