Crystal Dining Information

Dining with Crystal is truly an elegant experience. Whether enjoying the sweeping ocean views and magnificent ambiance in one of the traditional dining rooms, a costumed afternoon tea or midnight buffet in the atrium or poolside hamburgers and ice cream, you are sure to savor every pampered and delicious moment!

Main Dining Room Policies: Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity offer open seating at the main dining room, Waterside. Open seating allows guests to dine at their leisure for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Guests may enjoy dinner at any time they choose from 6 pm until closing at 9:30 pm (opening times subject to change). Reservations are not currently required or accepted.

Dress Code: There are two types of preferred evening dress codes: Evening Resort and Formal. After 6 pm, we ask that guests adopt the more refined Evening Resort dress code. For women this includes dresses, skirts, pants, blouses or sweaters, dark-wash jeans with no rips or tailored dress shorts. For men, this includes collared polo shirts, sweaters or smart designer sweatshirts, dark-wash jeans with no rips (only when accompanied with a jacket), chinos, sports jacket or blazer (optional) or tailored shorts (these may only be worn in the Tastes restaurant). Please avoid flip-flops/sliders, swimwear, and hats.

On sailings over seven days, there will be at least one optional ship-wide formal night (depending on the length of the segment), which will require more formal cocktail chic attire. These special events will be defined in your personal pre-sailing guide. Suggestions for a Formal Evening look: cocktail dresses or gowns, suits, evening skirts or pants with an elegant top and evening shoes for women. Suits or tuxedos, shirts, dress shoes and ties (optional) for men.

Beverage Policy: All non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages are free of charge.

Special Requests: In most cases, we can accommodate special requirements. Please provide details about any allergies or food requirements to your travel advisor prior to your cruise departure.

All dining rooms onboard Crystal ships are smoke-free.
