Theres the familiarity of being with Radisson. Theres knowing that they will have Cinammon ice cream onboard. I like the choice of restaurants on the Voyager/Mariner; and no charge for wine when eating in specialty restaurant.
Theres trivia and daily quiz...and all the token games. Theres the passengers who, on whole, have been fantastic. Theres the staff that have always been fantastic.
I like the fact that they recognize you as a returning guest. I like being recognized for my loyalty to them. I like that they have gone out of their way to help us even if it violated their own rules.
In other words, I really don't want to move on....at least not yet.
Marc, I know how you feel about loyalty, but sometimes you have to try it. That being said, I keep trying to do RSSC, but things just haven't worked out.
First time was my schedule and we moved our cruise back to July on the Diamond, you all know the story there, then we booked the Voyager for November because we had our cruise certificates, however Silversea came out with a better itinerary, longer cruise, and same price even after our discounts.
I say, if you find the right cruise at least try it. If you like it, then you have loyalty discounts with both lines and you have much more flexiblity. If you don't, then you know who to stick with.
We love Silversea and as far as the specialty restaurant, that was fine to do once, but the food throughout the ship is good, so no need in my estimation to do it again. The one thing I do like about SS is no signing for drinks at any other time, except in Le Champagne.
Hey, you can even go with one of us on a Venetian Club sailings and we can get you the same discount.
I want to do them all. RSSC, SS, SD, and SB.
