KOSHER-STYLE DINING
September 2003 Press Release
Crystal Cruises Presents
Fleet-Wide Program
LOS
ANGELES, September 4, 2003 -- Those who wish to relish unparalleled
dining at sea while enjoying traditional Jewish cuisine may now
experience the “World’s Best” cruise line. Crystal Cruises’ Kosher-style
Dining Program offers a broad range of kosher selections which are
prepared according to traditional recipes.
“We pride ourselves on providing not only unparalleled service but
varied cuisine options for all of our guests,’’ says Toni Neumeister,
Crystal’s vice president of food and beverage operations.
Crystal Cruises strives to accommodate the special needs of those guests
for whom kosher cuisine is important. In addition to vegetarian and fish
entrées, Crystal Cruises offers kosher meats, poultry and prepared
dishes that can satisfy the kosher observance of most guests. Although
Crystal Harmony, Crystal Symphony, and Crystal Serenity do not have a
separate kosher kitchen, all Crystal chefs, kitchen personnel, and
dining room staff have been trained in kosher food preparation, handling
and serving. Only kosher pots, pans and utensils will be used, and all
plates, silverware and glassware will be washed separately. A selection
of white and red kosher wines is also available, as well as a wide
selection of desserts.
Crystal Cruises requests that guests who wish to dine kosher-style
provide at least 90 days advance notice prior to sailing. In addition,
Crystal Cruises will make every effort to respond to more individual
dietary needs.
Available aboard its luxurious Crystal Harmony, Crystal Symphony and
Crystal Serenity anywhere in the world in 2003, Crystal Cruises
kosher-style menu features the following choices:
Kosher items available to be prepared Kosher-style

the unique nature of each ship’s itinerary not all pre-packaged
selections may be available on every voyage. Crystal Cruises reserves
the right to substitute with a similar selection. Each pre-packaged meal
includes a vegetable and a starch, and many desserts are offered on
board that vary with each sailing.

requests. Kosher special requests outside the listed standards may incur
