Camera Choice Help

So my wonderful photog friends I am looking for some help and advice. I am looking into a new camera for my next cruise. I have a handy dandy little Samsung point and shoot type and a Canon one. I am looking for something a little more robust. Waterproof, me being an idiot proof etc. You get the gist. So I am looking at two so far on Amazon UK and wondered which of the two ye would recommend (or are they both shoite!).

Firstly:

Olympus Stylus Tough TG-860

Waterproof to 15m

Shockproof to 2.1m5 (not sure what this means exactly)

Crushproof to 100kg

Freezproof to -10c

It has a tilting LCD screen, front button, built in WiFi, GPS,

16MP, 5x Optical zoom, 5axis Image stabilization, Full HD movie shooting

It weight 222g and is sized: 12x14x7cm

They have it priced at £220.10 (currency conversion is a b**** at the moment though!!!!)

Secondly:

Olympus Tough TG-4

Waterproof to 15m

Shockproof to 2.1m5

Crushproof to 100kg

Freezeproof to -10c

Built in WiFi, Underwater HDR, RAW Recording (not sure as to what this is)

Its weight 245g and is sized: 12x3x7

You can purchase alternative lenses etc for this model (such as fisheye etc)

They have it priced at £279.

So. What do you knowledgeable people think of the above cameras? Do you think they'll suit or do I need to keep looking?

Thanks by the way :)

Why do you have the tg4 as second? it is more highly rated, yes cost alittle more but right now I believe it is the number one waterproof point and shoot.

They're both great little bits of gear.

it's not second in choice. it's just the second of two on the list. i had no first/second in mind tbh, but if I did I was leaning to the TG-4. I don't mind paying the bit more for a better piece of equipment. :)

The Olympus TG-4 is what i'm getting to take with us on our cruise. I do a lot of research when i buy things like cameras and the TG-4 was rated highest in waterproof cameras by DPReview.com and many other sites. I own a Nikon D5200 DSLR camera for my hobbyist/novice needs so photo quality is highest on my list and after doing tons of research on all waterproof cameras out there the Olympus TG-4 came out on top every time.

I actually may have to buy 2 of these cameras when we go on our cruise cause i have a feeling my wife will hog it all the time.
