Hi Everyone:

I'm at a point where I must decide in the next day or so between Silversea or Radisson Navigator. Both are sailings to the Caribbean at the end of the year and for roughly the same price.

I've read the plusses and minuses of the Navigator and was wondering if the SS option is a better way to go. Since I have not cruised before I want to make sure that the first time is a great experience and that I am getting value for my money. I don't drink much so the all inclusive option is not a big deal maker. I care about nice food, nice amenities, great entertainment, nice mattress, and not getting seasick.

Also, is SS more formal...in other words, is a tux or suit required and are you locked in your room (like Crystal) if you do not wear a suit or would a sportcoat suffice?

Thoughts?

Thanks.
