ZAGAT SURVEYORS NAME CRYSTAL CRUISES AS FAVORITE

Also Rated Number One for Facilities and Activities


LOS ANGELES, November 20, 2009 – Zagat recently released the results of its first cruise line survey revealing that travelers named Crystal Cruises as their “favorite” among mid-sized ships. The ultra-luxury line was also the winner for Top Facilities and Top Activities.

The survey, conducted on ZAGAT.com, covers 22 major cruise lines as voted on by 2,379 regular cruisers.

The announcement comes less than a month after Condé Nast Traveler readers voted Crystal Cruises as the “Best Large-Ship Cruise Line” for a 16th year and, in August, Travel + Leisure readers voted the ultra-luxury line as the “World’s Best” for a 14th consecutive year. Crystal Cruises has also recently been awarded Best Luxury Line by editors at Cruise Critic, trade magazines and leading travel agents.

“We are very pleased that experienced cruisers are rating Crystal as their favorite,” says Gregg Michel, president of Crystal Cruises. “The choices of sophisticated facilities and the array and quality of activities aboard Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity are resonating with guests who want their port experience embellished with an interesting and fulfilling shipboard experience.”

Crystal Cruises’ ultra-luxurious Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony are renowned for their service, space, quality and choices, as well as innovations and value. In 2010, Crystal Cruises celebrates its 20th anniversary with an array of value-added promotions, including two-for-one pricing, up to $1,000 per person All Inclusive – As You Wish spending credits, free airfare with most cruises and a price guarantee. The ships sail worldwide on itineraries through the Mediterranean, Australia/New Zealand, Southeast Asia, India, Middle East, Baltic, British Isles, North Cape, Africa, South America, Panama Canal, Caribbean, Mexican Riviera and New England/Canada. New seven-day cruises in 2010 complement a variety longer itineraries offer more choices to sample the line’s lauded Crystal Experience. ]]> ShipMaven http://www.cruise-addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=145294 http://www.cruise-addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=145293&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:22:37 GMT Traffic Camera A man was driving when he saw the flash of a traffic camera.

A man was driving when he saw the flash of a traffic camera. He figured that his picture had been taken for exceeding the limit, even though he knew that he was not speeding... Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed. Now he began to think that this was quite funny, so he drove even slower as he passed the area again, but the traffic camera again flashed. He tried a fourth time with the same result. He did this a fifth time and was now laughing when the camera flashed as he rolled past, this time at a snail's pace...

Two weeks later, he got five tickets in the mail for driving without a seat belt...
