Richard, I'm excited that you and Carol have booked a Silversea cruise! For one thing, this will "take away" your all-inclusive problem with RSSC, and you will truly see what it is like never to be bothered with "chits". I think you are one one of the smaller ships? Cloud or Wind? Seems posters on this line have only been on Shadow and Whisper. I love the itinerary. One thing about looking at Silversea v. Raddisson, there are always different ports, and when we repeat the same area of the world a little difference in ports can make the deal to change. Congrats on branching out! I am certain you will not be sorry in this case!
