Don, have you taken your first cruise on Radisson yet? If not, I hope after you do you might have a different opinion on "all things being equal", it would be Silversea "hands down". Of course, all things are not equal in all ways, we just have to find the line that gives the best value for the itinerary we want at a particular time. I notice that you and Diana seem to like Caribbean cruises so far, as you are divers. Other itineraries are more to my liking. The thing I like about RSSC, especially here on this board, is that we are able to get together and meet so many onboard the various ships. So far, it seems RSSC is the line of preference for these self-organized "group cruises". In the more distant past, I never cared who was on my cruises, I always had one or more of my adult children with me. Now, I find that THEY (young enough to be the children of most of us here) enjoy my lct friends who are aboard as much as I do! And when I travel alone, it would not be on Silversea because of those horrendous Single Supplements. While I loved the Shadow on my one cruise with my daughter, it would not be worth a 100% single supplement to do it again. You are a great "gatherer" of information for all of us here for Silversea, and I hope you keep sharing. Looking forward to seeing you again on MUSH!
