The greater beverage inclusiveness on Silversea than on Radisson will be of greater benefit to some than to others. For me (and not necessarily for others) it is a benefit that there be a "cocktail time" BEFORE DINER and not AT DINNER. I also enjoy the ability to "grab a beer" when returning from a strenuous shore excursion. I confess that the inclusion of drinks in the lounges after dinner will be of little use to me, too. Old men like me just go to bed! Wouldn't have a problem paying for my own pre-dinner cocktail hour except for two things. First, while Radisson's OLD drink prices were not much af a factor to me, the new higher ones are, especially in light of their now higher fares. Second, even with the old lower drink prices, I'd be having my cocktail hour by myself in a Radisson lounge.

So, Silversea's greater inclusiveness isn't an "earth shaking" factor with me, it is something to consider --- especially now that Silversea has become a few hundred bucks CHEAPER!

Thanks,
Richard
