Great review, Crystal! I'm sure your assumption that they just gave the check to the only guy is correct. A couple of weeks ago, when Susan W and her husband John invited me on board for lunch, the waiter gave the check to John, and I'm sure Susan had been the one who made all the arrangements (special ordering dover sole, etc. for us.) It was fun reading your review since I could picture things from having spent a little time on the ship. I did not like the penthouse cabin configuration --- the sofa is at the foot of the bed and the TV is on a shelf that runs parallel to the bed (but is does pull out and pivot toward the sofa). I looked on the Crystal website at the standard room layout and saw that it was more like Regent's standard room where the seating area is next to the bed, but didn't realize there is no curtain. Definitely would miss that curtain. Your short cruise experience pretty much exactly matches the impressions I had from my quick visit. Very good to know! Thanks for sharing!
