  1. Have sailed more on Crystal and Silversea. Have done one cruise on Regent and one on Oceania. We felt Regent was a far better choice and certainly $ for $ a better value. We like Oceania’s food and cabins but hated the cost of liquor and excursions. We loved the food, entertainment and all inclusive aspect of Regent. However would sail on either again depending on itinerary

  2. Interesting back and forth. We have sailed SS twice and Crystal more times. Both have positives and negatives. Loved the food, service entertainment  and enrichment on Crystal and loved the service and cabins on SS. Would sail both depending and have a cruise booked on Ray. Thought the bread and rolls on SS were truly awful but that’s not a deal breaker for me.

  3. We met on that Crystal cruise. Being Crystal refugees we have tried 2 SS cruises and one Regent.We liked both lines and agree with most of the comments here. Crystal definitely had better enrichment and entertainment and we recently did a 34 day cruise on SS so we noticed. Main dining room food was very good, bread was awful and wine selection was exceptional. The staff were fantastic.Entertainment on Regent was superior to Ss but that could just be the ship. We found the included excursions on both were quite good and there are some very good ones for an upcharge. I don’t think you can go wrong on either line but frankly, I’m waiting to see the reviews on New Crystal.

    We found the basic balcony suites on both to be a good size with good storage.

  4. On a recent cruise, I attended the Virtuoso cocktail party and it was very nice. Many ship’s officers were there and had an opportunity to chat as a small informal gathering. The amenity was considerably better than $100 and an incentive was also added if you booked on board

  5. We did a crossing on Silver Spirit several years ago. It was perfect. My partner was seasick one night but I was fine. I found the movement was just the same as on a bigger ship in fact, the dining rooms were better because they were lower in the ship. There is as much to do as you choose and no loud pool games etc. Loved it.
