CRUISING THE 7 SEAS HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER, MORE LUXURIOUS AND AFFORDABLE WITH CRYSTAL CRUISES!
NO WAY CAN A CRYSTAL CRUISE BE ACCUSED OF BEING CHEAP BUT YOU DO GET VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY!
For this summer, Crystal Cruises is offering food for the brains as well as stomach and you can learn a new language, embark on an art history course, learn or improve your golf, take computer lessons and cultivate your mind on all sorts of interesting stuff by just listening to wellknown speakers on board.
Mind you, I am just parroting what Crystal Cruises is offering for the edification of your soul. Me, I just gorge and feed my face 5 times a day, guzzle champagne nonstop, watch the scantily clad dancers at the free cabaret shows nightly (and usually both shows per night!), oogle at the sexy bodies lazing by the pools. Why tax my brains when I am supposed to let my hair down and my grey matter out to pasture?
