Seven Seas Voyager vs. Wind Star Nov 08 Sailings...

Has anyone sailed these two (2) ships/lines who can advise which would
be a better choice? I Am sure the service is unparalleled for both,
yet not sure which would be a good choice. RSSC is more formal, as I
understand it, than WS. What about value for fare received? Would
enjoy the PH on RSSC and not sure what WS has available. Not finding
pricing for WS, so I await for them to e-mail me rates and
availability.

Thanks for your input...

I have client sailing both this fall. Regent is while not formal, more
traditional and is all inclusive, while WS is a bit more casual but not as
well appointed. For me it is easy, Athens to Istanbul with an overnight on
Voyager.

Hi Bo,

Comparing these 2 cruise lines is like comparing a Pontiac to a
Mercedes SL. They do not have much in common when it comes to
service, cabins, public areas, what is included in the fares, etc.
Even within RSSC, there are differences among the ships. I would
suggest you discuss this decision with a knowledgeable travel agent
that has sailed on both cruise lines.

Best regards,
Ray

No additional details? No recommendation? I thought a knowledgeable
travel agent might want to contribute to the discussion. Which one's the
Pontiac and which is the Mercedes? [although... with all the electrical
problems that Mercedes are having these days... maybe you're better off with
the Pontiac...]
