Rare A Tucson Guy Posted April 24, 2005 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2005 We have been on three Radisson cruises and had a great time. Some friends have raved about Silverseas so we decided to try it. What can we expect to be different from RSSC good or bad. Any feed back would be appreciated. TIA Al LaPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonv Posted April 25, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2005 The difference is in service and other small things like thicker bath towels or far superior selection of cheeses. I found the service on Radisson is good enough but not smooth or as professional though they try hard. If you are a bottom line kind of person, only look at the tangibles such as room size and price, Radisson may be a better deal. What cannot be measured and what attracts me to SS is the subtle but definite difference in service. It makes the whole experience so much more pleasant. The one Radisson cruise I was on there were some tour groups and it affected the tone of the cruise for me. I haven't seen tour groups on Silversea, and I appreciate that. By the way the shows on both ships are about equal, nothing to write home about, and doesn't compare to big production of mass market lines. I like lectures on SS better than Radisson, but I imagine it depends on who they managed to book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A Tucson Guy Posted April 27, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Just a comment- this site is a lot more "quiet" than the RSSC site. I wonder why that is. Any thoughts out there. If I had posted the opposite question on RSSC site, I think there would have been a lot more responses. PS- this is not a criticisim of this site.

This is just a guess on my part,but I think the majority of SS cruiser's would not post on the boards.there are some of us who do,but we are in the minority.RSSC proably has a lot more who wish to share their experiences.I think I speak for some on the board..we do like to help if we can and we like to share what we know.Happy cruising.

melbcruise Posted April 27, 2005 #5 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I think that would be a lack as as many passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonv Posted April 27, 2005 #6 Share Posted April 27, 2005 The Radisson's six ships carry 2,570 passengers while Silversea's four carry 1,400. There are more people Radisson customers than Silversea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
