one of the things we liked about our Tauck tour was that we were 24 people for a week on a bus and out and about. We got to socialize with all of them and some we liked better than others. I still email a few of them. We could have nightlife and we chose to not unpack. We used our suitcases and I used bags within them (like space bags) with a day's change of clothes; Our toiletries had their own bag. It was a non-issue. They gave us enough downtime everyday to do as we wanted. Frank tended to take a nap after lunch on the bus as did many fellow travelers and the tour guide gave us time to do that if we wanted. Even though you were with a group, dinner was often on your own in the hotel and just like Compass Rose, you ate when you wanted except for the welcome and good bye dinner. Lunch was often a group thing.
