I've been lurking on this terrific board and finally registered to post. I will also be on this short cruise. I have been on the Symphony before and just loved it. While I've never been on Radisson I continue to hear great things about their ships from numerous friends. I think the main differences are the cabin sizes, lack of open seating and wine with dinner. However, the food on Crystal is great, the staff is wonderful and the entertainment is excellent. Betty, I'm glad you are giving Crystal a try. Perhaps we can meet up for a drink. Nancy
