We left Odessa on the reverse course that had taken us there. Today at sea we must make some choices; there is so much to do. Three enrichment series lectures, all of them pique our interest: first, "Treasures of Historic Istanbul" focusing on masterpieces of architecture and art that tell the tale of the great city, from Byzantium to modern Istanbul. Next, "Demographic Trends and Migration Patterns and their impact on Contemporary European Society" and, finally, "The Titanic Forces of Nature - What in the World is Going On?". We end up attending all three and still manage to have lots of time for a workout, awesome meals and time by the pool reading, writing and eating ice-cream.
The weather throughout this cruise has been flawless and any time spent on deck is wonderful. The Lido guys know our preferences and are always around bringing us a drink, setting up a casual dining space on a pool deck lounger for a quick pizza snack, there is no better crew at sea than Crystal's.
Some people believe that to really get your money's worth out of a cruise you must have as many port days as possible. To us, the beauty is in the right balance, particularly on Crystal where the luxury and pampering are best appreciated and enjoyed on lazy sea days.
