What Makes the Serenity So Special

What is it that makes the Crystal Serenity such as special ship? Yes, she’s gorgeous, luxurious, and well-appointed. You lack for nothing when you sail on her. But her most charming asset is her crew. From her Norwegian captains and deck officers, to her Filipino breakfast crew in Lido, to her mostly-Eastern European housekeeping staff, everyone is knowledgeable, hard-working, experienced, and above all, unfailingly kind. Here are just a few of the people who make the Crystal Serenity so special....

My mom and Snjezana--or "Nina", which is easier for Americans...she was so good to my Auntie Mame.. she's like family!! She had just been announced as Serenity's Employee of the Month!

My adorable stewardess, Petra, pretending to curtsy. She ran errands, ferried bottles of wine to the dining room, fetched me herb tea when I needed it most, and does a mean rendition of "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina." Also loves Forrest Gump...."Life is like a box of chocolates..."

Oh, those Lido guys dress up great at cocktail parties.

Little Bro (another of Auntie Mame's favorites...his real name is Borislav), Goran and Jaco....great waiters in the Dining Room!

Nice Tails!!

Lido Guys messing around the American Buffet.

More Lido staff...they are so wonderful!

Mama and darling Oleg--always great, whether fetching wine at lunch or tea in the Bistro!

Wild and Crazy Ross..."Good Morning, Beautiful!"

The very very bestest sommelier in the whole wide world...Matthias. As wise as he is kind. I'm glad you are my friend, darlin'- hang loose!
