Hi all! We are loyal to Royal cruisers and have booked our first Silversea cruise and am glad for the status match but I absolutely would not expect to get a free cruise out of it. In fact, I am just hoping for the laundry perk and that we'll love Silversea as much as you all do and sail with them again and again. I have a friend on her first Silversea right now and her posts make me think we will.
