I cruised on Crystal to the Caribbean last year. I thought that the
activities and entertainment were dull. The activities consisted mainly
of things such as napkin folding, bridge, and dull lectures. The
entertainment put a big emphasis on Broadway songs; I would have liked
more variety. On the plus side, as people have said they did not
have announcements and there were no high pressure sales tactics.
