Crystal Cruises

Best Ship: Crystal Serenity

Why: In general, Crystal is the best choice for folks who want big-ship features and small-ship luxury. In particular, while this newer ship offers many of the same features as Crystal Symphony does, the penthouse suites, the most romantic accommodations, are more plentiful.



Sweet Digs: The aforementioned penthouse suites, which come in three categories, all have verandahs, butler service and marble baths with Jacuzzi tubs (not to mention state-of-the-art tech toys). They're also roomy enough for in-room massages. Another plus? Passengers in these staterooms can order off the menu from Crystal Serenity's fabulous specialty restaurants.

Onboard Romance: Head for a private corner of the Sunset Bar (at the forward end of the Palm Court) -- it's a great spot for sunset-watching. We also love the clubby-pubby Avenue Saloon. For an outdoor smooch, try any of the terraced decks on the back of the ship.

Dinner for Two: Try any (or all) of Crystal Serenity's specialty restaurants, such as the Northern Italian Prego and the Asian Silk Road. Or indulge in course-by-course room service on your verandah.

Downside: If you're hoping that by booking a luxury cruise, you'll escape the kiddies, plan carefully. Crystal -- unlike many of its competitors -- actually has dedicated youth facilities onboard, and you will find families on summertime and shorter sailings.

Windstar Cruises

Best Ship: Wind Surf

Why: Wind Surf's both a sailboat and cruise ship, and it features a hybrid blend of cruise traditions (such as the crew show, organized shore excursions and multiple eateries) and utterly romantic vistas. Carrying just 312 passengers, the ship's onboard ambience is relaxed (no set seatings at dinner) and its itineraries focus on ports in the Mediterranean and Caribbean that are often too small to appeal to massive ships.

Sweet Digs: What Windstar's cabins lack in size and variety, they make up in style. The line has spiffed up the staterooms with state of the art electronics, decadently soft bedding, and L'Occitane bath products. Most suites are simply two standard cabins opened up and joined together, but having two bedrooms is generally a boon for marital bliss.

Onboard Romance: A favorite spot -- and it's remarkably quiet -- is at the outside tables at Wind Surf's cigar bar; it's a great place to sit under the stars (or enjoy a quiet cocktail). If it's too chilly for sitting outdoors, head to the indoor section of the Compass Rose lounge to listen to some pre-dinner music over drinks with your sweetheart.

Dinner for Two: For casual daytime dining, the glass-walled Veranda offers seating outdoors as well as indoors. It's adjacent to the grill and features both buffet fare and choices from a menu. At night, enjoy a romantic candlelit dinner by the pool at Candles, sample French-influenced contemporary dishes at Stella Bistro, or dine in the main restaurant, AmphorA, which features local and creative cuisine.

Downside: These ships are small and cabins are close to the water, so in rough seas, you'll definitely feel the motion of the ocean and perhaps watch the waves close in over your porthole. If you're prone to seasickness, bad weather might kill the romance of a Windstar cruise.
