ABOARD THE CRYSTAL SERENITY – Last night the Crystal Ensemble of Singers and Dancers premiered a new production, “My Life: The Music of Billy Joel,” to a full house. From the standing ovations given, I would say it was a smash hit. Headliner James Fox, who played the piano and sang as Joel, nailed his role. He was great, the eight singers and dancers were great, the two back-up singers (who are usually the lead vocalists) added …
ABOARD THE CRYSTAL SERENITY – Crystal Cruises only operates two luxury ships but it certainly does know how to fill them up. Crystal passengers are extremely loyal and return time after time. So far on this cruise, I have only met one person who is on their first Crystal cruise. At the Crystal Society cocktail party last night, several passengers were honored for reaching significant milestones. Dr. and Mrs. Nancy Kaplan were on their 60th and 61st …

During my earlier Crystal Cruises, dating back 15 and 20 years, there really were only two options: The main dining room and the Lido. However, even then Crystal was known for fine dining. They have only …
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia – I am very fond of small cities. They have a certain charm, a degree of friendliness, not found in their larger counterparts. Cities like Dublin, Charleston and San Juan come to mind. Halifax certainly fits that description. It is compact, walkable, easy to get around and everyone is helpful. We flew into Halifax on Wednesday in advance of boarding our cruise on the Crystal Serenity today. We added an extra day to our …
Silversea Cruises is absolutely one of my favorite luxury cruise lines. I love the European ambiance, the size of its ships and the way passengers are treated like royalty. But one of the challenges of smaller ship lines is to produce entertainment that is on a par with larger cruise lines. Silversea seems to have found an innovative solution. Here are some of the details: All-new musical experiences are coming to the stages of Silversea Cruises’ five …
