Crystal Serenity Adds Miami as an Embarkation Port
Crystal Cruises has added Miami as an embarkation port for its Bahamas cruises on Crystal Serenity.
Passengers sailing one of the ship’s seven-night roundtrip cruises will now have three embarkation ports to choose from: Nassau on Saturdays, Bimini on Sundays, and Miami on Mondays.
The first embarkation day in Miami is scheduled for August 9. For those who were already on the ship, it will be treated like a regular port day.
Because the ship will now have embarkations in Florida, Crystal will not be requiring vaccinations for guests embarking there. However, those who are not vaccinated will be subject to additional pre-cruise testing and restrictions during the sailing.
