Several of the 100 travel advisors who were on the Serenity’s shakedown sailing from Venice to Marseilles said the lack of a casino would be a deal-breaker for some clients. Levis told them during a captain’s reception cocktail hour that she was working on a solution.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Advisors lauded the return of the Nobu Matsuhisa specialty restaurant partnership that launched on the Crystal Serenity two decades ago. The restaurant Umi Uma reopened here in a reimagined space with a central table surrounded by abstract art that resembled a modern take on fish scales.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Also new on the ship is the Osteria d’Ovidio Italian restaurant and the Aurora Spa.<\/p>\n
The second of Crystal’s legacy ships, the Crystal Symphony, is scheduled to debut on Sept. 1 from Athens.<\/p>\n
