Buzz’s comments on his cruise from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale on the Crystal Serenity November 2019

 

Before the cruise, I spent 3 nights in Barcelona.  Since I had only spent one day in Barcelona before, this gave me an opportunity to explore the Miro, Picasso and Catalonia museums and the Gothic quarter.

 

The first leg of this trip was from Barcelona to Lisbon stopping in several ports on the southern coast of Spain and Gibraltar. The second leg was from Lisbon to Fort Lauderdale with only two stops.  The lectures were excellent on the several sea days..

 

Food onboard was very good; improving on my other Crystal voyages.  I continued to like the specialty restaurants.  I tried the Vintage Room for the first time and it was an amazing experience. For the menu and a description of the wines click here.  Another new option is the Supper Club (only available on the Serenity and only on Black Tie Optional nights).  It is a nightclub style dinner with live entertainment during the food service and dancing afterwards.

 

Crystal continues to be my favorite high-end cruise line because:

          Great lectures

          Dining variety every night

          Multiple entertainment options

          Reasonable single supplements if booked early

         

 

Enjoy the pictures.

 

We had many sea days so the lectures and entertainers were a very important part of making this a great cruise.  For a listing of the Itinerary, Staff, Entertainment, Lectures and programs click here.
