was a Six-Star style day when legendary entertainer Dame Julie Andrews
released the cord that sent a custom-made six liter bottle of Louis
Roederer Cristal champagne crashing against the hull of Crystal Cruises'
newest luxury ship, Crystal Serenity, here today. In doing so, she
triggered a flurry of colored streamers and confetti upon the 400 guests
all dressed in the day's themed attire of black and white.
The 1,080-guest, 68,000-ton Crystal Serenity officially entered service
