I was totally impressed with every single person we dealt with, from check in and document check to the boarding people, to the staff on the ship. While Crystal has always been a dream of a trip, it's totally possible we may skip a couple of cruises, save the money. I knew it would be impressive, but it was really impressive.

Though I don't own a Thurston Howell the III jacket and cap, and apparently half the men on board did.
