What Creators Are Saying About Francesca Barone, Elite Cruises

All on board the magnificent six-star Crystal Serenity.

The eggs that went into the tray at 6:30 were fluffy, moist, and properly seasoned. The eggs you're scooping at 7:45 are rubbery, dry, slightly gray around the edges, and have released a pool of water onto the tray that most passengers politely ignore.
