Doug, we enjoyed our SS cruises for the social/mingling you mentioned (actually preferred SS over Regent for this reason) but back in 2006 while SS was AI, Regent was not. Now Regent is--may explain your perception of more mingling on SS...when we were on the Nav last Dec (AI) there was the same socialability in the lounges we found and preferred on SS but lacking in 2004 and 2005 on Regent. Your comments on La Terraza's rsvn system are spot on, which means they have not changed in 18+months since we were last on the Whisper & Shadow. Thanks for taking the time to share
Lynn and your thoughts...r/wes
