Hi, Richard - We just booked our first SilverSea sailing on the Whisper. Having sailed the Mariner twice, Navigator once, and we'll be traveling on Voyager's upcoming "chocolate" cruise, we are interested to see how SilverSea's "all-inclusive" compares to RSSC's "almost-all-inclusive." I'm really looking forward to our sailing on the Whisper; after reading jhp's wonderful review, I'm certain we'll enjoy SilverSea as much as we love RSSC and, as you point out -- it allows twice as many options!
