Oh, I didn't mean to say that "all inclusive" was unimportant to me now. I still very much favor it, as it allows me to feel free to have a drink when I want, and NOT to have one when I don't --- instead of having "set drinking times" with dinner --- if you know what I mean. What I was saying was that it was primarily the itinerary advantage --- and the great price advantage offered by Silversea that caused us to choose it. These things were more important to us in this selection than the "open bar."

But, yes, I still feel that Radisson should be all-inclusive. Especially in light of their new higher prices. But this appears to be another example of how the free market works well. Radisson remains only partially inclusive and raises their prices and reduces their specials, and along comes a competitor and offers lower prices AND open bar. So, I don't want to argue on the boards in favor of Radisson going open bar any further. I'll just go to where the open bar is (along with the lower price and great itinerary).

Thanks,
Richard
