I love old school cruise ships like #crystalsymphony as it has open air bridge wings. It means getting to watch the Captain, bridge crew and pilot navigate into port, like this as we sailed into Manila Philippines. Do you like this, or am I just too much of a ship geek and nerd?? #cruiseship

Final visit on the all day “Best of Shanghai” excursion with #crystalsymphony was heading up to the 118th floor of the Shanghai Tower for spectacular views of this enormous and fast changing city. I always enjoy a high-rise observation floor outing! Do you? Crystal Cruises

Part of #CrystalSymphony “Best of #Shanghai” excursion was lunch at Hakkasan Shanghai. On the 5th floor of one of famous Art Deco buildings (#18) it was a gorgeous venue. Here are some of the dishes, with the illusion coconut ice cream dessert rather fancy! #crystalcruises

Second stop of my all-day #crystalsymphony #Shanghai excursion was at the Yu Gardens. Attractive spot with crazy zigzag-shaped walkways over water as it’s felt bad omens and spirits won’t be any good at navigating them. Worth a try!

First stop on today’s all day tour of #Shanghai with #CrystalSymphony was at the Jade Buddha Temple. Fantastic @crystalcruises

It’s no secret but I’m an afternoon tea fan. It’s my on and off land vice/ passion. Today went to my first @crystalcruises one here on #Crystalsymphony ! Fantastic. Though I’m going to have to pace myself as it’s on every day 🤗

Headed up Mount Inasa on the nifty slope car for views over (cloudy) Nagasaki this morning. On an excursion off #crystalsymphony and will self explore this afternoon

I’m now on board @crystalcruises #CrystalSymphony and we’ve departed from Yokohama en route for Nagasaki. Chilly sail away but another blue sky sunny day!

Sunny day for our visit into Ensenada Mexico on @regentcruises #SevenSeasGrandeur yesterday. Though definitely way cooler than we’ve been used to on the trip! Next stop LA and end of the cruise and off to Las Vegas for New Year!

It was another gorgeous sunny and hot day on our @regentcruises #SevenSeasGrandeur as we call into Puerto Quetzal in Guatemala. Although in a working container & freight port, the authorities created a little palm tree filled oasis with craft stalls, bar, restaurant etc
