Bar and wine prices are high; which is a major reason we switched to Seabourn. That and single seating for dinner. Crystal still has 2 seatings.
The folks on Crystal were just too old for us and we aren't spring chickens.
Any luxury cruise line will get an older crowd but Crystal is now starting to appeal to a younger, i.e. those in their 40's, crowd. I am quite surprised about your smoking story since on my 11 Crystal cruises the no smoking policy in the Dining Room was always strictly enforced.
