Crystal Dining Room 1

Crystal has gotten creative in the kitchen, too; its new menu, based on molecular gastronomy, debuted on our sailing. (You can mix and match with its "Classic" menu items, so not everything you eat feels experimental.) We tried some real winners from the "Modern Cuisine" menu, such as oysters topped with cucumber foam and a nearly-fluorescent tomato tartar with beetroot and a quail egg. Then we balanced out the meal with classics like a perfectly executed black angus sirloin steak with béarnaise and a saucy fricassee di pollo al cacciatore (braised free-range chicken cacciatore with creamy mascarpone polenta).The food is fantastic, the service is great. Richard and Nancy give it 5 Stars
