Radisson going mass market??
 
I read something about this on cruisecritic.com-- but I have no idea what this means or even if the information is correct. We're planning on a first cruise for July and had thought to do Radisson. But if there are changes afoot, I'm not so sure that's a good idea. Informed information much appreciated. Thanks.

Poss,
You don't have anything to worry about. The person who posted this seems to like to "stir up trouble". The high quality of RSSC is not affected whatsoever. The company that is marketing a few Radisson Cruises does not have a good reputation BUT the heading "Radisson going Mass Market" is very incorrect.

Poss,

traveller333 is right. That CC poster is misleading people. All that is happening is the Vantage tours is marketing 4 of Radisson cruises which obviously had some cabins left to sell. Apparently, according to another poster on CC, they are all repositioning cruises which are the least popular ones. So I think this means they are not selling the Baltic's cruises.

All that is happening is a group tour agency is selling cabins on a cruise line and that does not mean that the cruise line will be changing the product they offer. Looks like that poster is trying to stir the pot.

Thanks Traveller and Gopack. I felt uncomfortable even posing the query,but since I'm new to all this and a little apprehensive anyway, I thought I'd better check.

RSSC is a first class operation and my two sailings with them are highlights in all of my cruising experience.

Poss,
I just wanted to add my opinion. Please don't be concerned about this post. We've done 2 cruises on Radisson and are eagerly awaiting our 3rd one in June aboard the Navigator. Any Travel operator is free to bundle cruises with hotels and airfare and sell them. It has nothing to do with the cruise being "mass market" or not.
