Crystal Cruises' Wine & Dine Indulgence

When cruise lines began offering specialty restaurants on their ships there were passengers who scoffed at the idea of paying "extra" to dine in them.

While today's passengers expect the upscale dining choices, and most have no problem with the relatively low cost, it will be hard for many to swallow a $1,250 tab for a meal. And that's per person for Crystal Cruises' ultra-extravagant Vintage Room dinner. To date, it's the costliest and most exclusive we've heard of.

And, yes, we can already hear the grumbling over dessert. It's Mille-Feuilles with Red Berries, Cardamom Ice Cream... we think that roughly translates into cake and ice cream. Sorry, no Baked Alaska. If you have to ask whether or not the gratuity is included, you might want to pass on making a reservation.
