Olivia, I have "shopped" Silversea and you are right they are more expensive. But, at 296 guests for Silver Cloud/Silver Wind and 388 guests for the Shadow and Whisper, you are looking at the reason why they are more expensive. I don't think all-inclusive is that much of a factor. Plus, by discounting cruises in a different timeframe than Radisson, SilverSea has chosen a marketing strategy that works for them.

I do understand that this thread is intended to convey our views on SS tier benefits to Radisson's managment, and our board members have made many positive suggestions. I do not expect "all-inclusive" to be a part of the tier benefits for SS members as that would be an unworkable situation. But, if Radisson truly monitors our comments, then I would like them to know that as a repeat customer, I prefer less tier benefits and an all-inclusive policy for everyone.

I so appreciate LCT and my fellow board members. It's nice to discuss our opinions in such an open and respectful manner.
