We're going to try Crystal Symphony from LA-HK next March with Joe and Karyn Doucet. We'll do 4 days in HK, so I can show Karyn/Joe around the area. We also have the Silver Shadow this Nov. Still trying to find an alternative to Regent and their ridiculous new smoking policy. If anyone has cruised Symphony and has any comments please do comment. We're not jazzed about fixed seating dining, but we'll give it a try. The good thing about the cruise is that there are lots of sea days. We booked a PH category and the price seems to be comparable to Regent with all things factored in.
