Beginning spring 2012, luxury cruise line Crystal Cruises will be going boldly where few cruise lines have gone before, all-inclusive.
Starting next year open bars will be serving cruisers anything their heart desires and crew gratuities will be included in cruise fares. The all-inclusive option is available on both the 922-passenger Crystal Symphony and 1,070-passenger Crystal Serenity.
“We’re looking to ease the [financial] transaction with guests,” spokeswoman Mimi Weisband reveals.
“By adding open bars and complimentary wines at dinner and the ability to order (alcohol) in your staterooms as well, there’s an ease with that. And by adding the gratuity, it’s just a seamless experience. People can literally go on a cruise and not pay an additional charge.”
Sounds like a perfect dream to us, having to constantly be signing credit card slips becomes so droll!
