# Crystal Symphony Ship Tour Video *By James Hills, cruisewestcoast.com — Updated September 2021* Written by: [James Hills](https://cruisewestcoast.com/james-hills.html) Published: 19 January 2020 Last Updated: 11 September 2021 Top BlogHits: 6020Reading time: 00:36 Crystal Symphony spent some time sailing out of San Diego this winter and we were fortunate to be invited to visit her for a tour. While Symphony may not be the newest, biggest, or fanciest ship in terms of amenities - she is certainly one of the grandest. As a small ship experience that focuses more on the voyage, rather than the ship as a destination, it was impressive to see that it still had all the things that you ultimately need on a cruise.  Ultimately though, there's more to the cruise experience than just the ship itself. While difficult to capture in the video out of respect for not filming the staff, the service quality and staff friendliness was second to none.
