But you cannot see some wonderful deals on Silversea that are offered from time to time if not connected with BK, or another TA similarly associated with SS that are communicated through e-mail only.. These are really wonderful deals, if you don't need to plan many months in advance.

Nana, for me, I don't think I could be happy with a Princess cruise. Have been side to side with too many of their big ships in previous cruises and read the many comments on cc and here. Your choice. Others have given opinions for you to consider. I think you can book those pre-cruises through other operators if you are not on Princess. I never book pre-cruise through RSSC/Regent unless absolutely necessary. They are way over priced. I do it on my own.
