Crystal Symphony Ship Review, The Best Staff and Crew
A Crystal symphony ship review considers Symphony’s crew and staff is the ship’s most valuable advantage over other cruise ships. The 545 crew and staff who attend to the every whim and caprice of Symphony’s 940 guests are all well-trained, very professional and gracious. Crystal Symphony is bigger than most luxury ships in its class, allowing for more facilities such as a wrap around promenade, spacious world-class spa with an extensive menu of treatments and the well – admired Computer University @ Sea.
Some of the most popular facilities of cruise ship, according to the Crystal Symphony ship review, are the ship’s principal passenger hubs-the atrium with its upper tiers and the main lobby with its very busy and fun Bistro café and fashionable boutiques; the Starlite Club, a very trendy gathering place with its gleaming walls made of Swarovski crystals and stunning circular bar; the new large whirlpool on the main deck, the cool Luxe nightclub with its arresting Bisazza glass mosaic and the black and silver decorated casino.
Dining on board Crystal Symphony is another feature that earned cudos from a Crystal Symphony ship review. The two alternative restaurants – the Silk Road Asian Restaurant, an Asian fusion restaurant serving sushi and other exotic Asian dishes and the Prego Italian restaurant serving authentic Italian dishes. In addition, there is the formal dining room, other more informal dining venues such as the Lido Buffet or the Trident Grill and in-stateroom room service.
After its million dollar refurbishment, according to the Crystal symphony ship review, this luxury cruise ship now boasts of beautifully pointed and furnished staterooms with Murano bedside lamps, leather headboards, Rubelli Fabrics and upgraded and re-designed bathrooms. The staterooms on every deck are painted in different soothing earth colors such as grey, taupe, tan, terracotta, burgundy, gold, aqua, lavender and pearl.

The Penthouses are large and the staterooms are quite adequate and start at 202 square feet and the staterooms have a large picture window. The other staterooms are 246 square feet and include a veranda as do most of the staterooms. If there is no veranda then they do have the large picture window so no one is left without at least a window. The beds have down comforters and cotton or Italian linens, Frette robes and pillow menus. Of course the penthouses come with more amenities such as afternoon tea and a Jacuzzi tub and 24 hour personal butler service. Guidebooks generally score this company’s cruise ships among the top twenty of all of the cruise ships plying the waters today.
