hmmmm...I will be interested in comparing as well. Silversea has the smaller size, and I sort of liked it better because you could take it with you without it being awkward. We would get a taxi driver, and pick out the things from the excursion booklet we wanted to see the most from the several excursions available. I would assume the daily passages will be suggesting what to do on your own as they normally do in each port.
