Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been doing this for almost 20 years now and I've booked almost $100 million worth of sales for my clients.

Silver Sea recently made some changes where they're not doing that anymore.

Regent doesn't have any of that. Uh when I was on board Regent last, you know, they had an amazing Asian specialy restaurant and a French specialy restaurant, a steakhouse, and you're not going to pay a dime extra.

On Silver Sea, for one, they don't allow you to wear jeans.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Look at the bottom line price with Silver Sea, including excursion credits and dining costs, not just the upfront price.
Consider the dress code differences: Silver Sea requires no jeans and sometimes a sport coat, while Regent is more casual.
If you want all-inclusive dining without extra charges, Regent may be a better choice.
