The Crystal Symphony is a beautiful ship, and my readers and followers know my penchant for taking “artsy” pictures when I am aboard ship. Following is a group of pictures I took aboard ship, at various times on the 15-day cruise.

These lockers hold life jackets and other safety gear.

The bow of the ship on the Promenade Deck is the crew’s outdoor lounge, and they have their own hot tub. They deserve it!

Maintenance was ongoing on this cruise, and this crew member was painting something on the structure of the ship below deck level.


The highest deck is the Sun Deck. See that netted structure? That’s the enclosed paddle-tennis court, where you would find passengers and crew at most times of day.

The Waterside Dining Room windows gave a great view of the “wash” where the ship’s hull meets the water. It’s hypnotic to watch, and beautiful.




That’s Swarovski Crystal. Yes, Crystal, as in Crystal Cruises.

This cruise held something new and different around every corner. I captured but a small part of it.
