| Editors Comments: |
|
The Crystal Symphony and its sister ship, Crystal Harmony, have been the subject of more than a few debates among cruise aficionados. The ships win virtually unanimous praise for their service, cuisine, amenities and facilities, but opinion is strongly divided on the subject of their two-sittings/assigned seating policy. |
