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/)

As mentioned in the last caption, unlike the big ships Crystal doesn’t charge for their onboard specialty restaurants. (some ships have charges as high as $85 per person for those these days) FYI, Crystal offers 2 of these onboard & one of them is called “Silk Road/The Sushi Bar” and was created by famous Japanese Chef, “Nobu Matsuhisa”. Yummy! :-)
