May 30, 2017 at 7:55 pmThe Crystal ships seem to be not only having a makeover, but seem to be redefining luxury and convenience. I love the fact that you would have access to high speed internet in the midst of the seas. The cutting edge of technology has been blended with some ultimate luxury to give a royal experience. Hope to get on one of their classic ships some day.
