All good things have to come to an end, right? As we approach Miami, we reflect on what has been an amazing two weeks aboard Crystal Serenity. It's no wonder it's a cruise that has been named "best in class" over and over, with amenities, food and service that's second to none. Let's take one last look ...

A Memorable Dinner at the Stardust Supper Club...

A good idea to reserve ahead for dinner in the Stardust Supper Club. Reservations go fast!

Be ready for an elegant evening of dinner, dancing and drinks in the rich tradition of an iconic
​ New York supper club.

Transport to a Bygone Era With the Mozart Tea ...

Wait staff don 18th century costumes for a very special Afternoon Tea
​in the Palm Court. Lovely!

So Many Places to Explore...

The Library on deck 7 offers digital workstations in addition to books

The Computer University at Sea has Internet workstations. Personnel are on hand to help with any connection issues as well.

A highlight was attending the lectures, which covered a wide variety of topics.

The Bridge Lounge on deck 7 hosts bridge tournaments as well as other games.

The is the Vintage Room, where you can experience a multi-course meal and wine pairing in an intimate setting.

The VIP Casino offers slots and gaming tables. Happily,
we won a little more than we lost!

We Rated the Food Five Stars, for Taste and Presentation...

Too Soon, We Had to Say Goodbye...

After 15 days at sea, our Crystal Serenity Haute Caribbean Holidays Cruise comes to an end back where we started -- Miami. It provided us not only lasting memories but also new friendships. Now we know first-hand why Crystal is the most awarded cruise line
​ in the industry.

Pam toasts another day in paradise.

We weren't able to dock at our last port of call, Key West, due to high winds. Disappointed!

Luggage tags mean it's almost over.

Pam tries to soak it all in. Too bad we can't take it home
​ in a bottle. Memories
will have to do.
