sbagal....you are right on re crystal....we did 1 cruise w/them, selected for the itin [cpt-lis]....it was as you said....fortunately, we had preplanned to jump ship in the canaries, so didn't have to bear the last 2 nites....

there were quite a few folks who said that crystal was the best, but most of them hadn't been on any other ships...

good luck to all...

re comments above....it is fortunate that ft allows children and grouchy old men to post...
