We've done a couple Pied Piper groups.. for us, we are pretty introverted and a ship of 2500+ is overwhelming and we will end up not meeting anyone. With the one's we've done (Med & Aus/NZ) there were maybe 40 - 60 in the group... we got to meet folks in a less intimidating format at dinner and pre-dinner cocktails so were able to make friends we've maintained for years. It is nice that you aren't tethered to the group.. it is just available. For us it works.
we are going on a South American one in less than a month - no idea how many will be in the Pied Piper group but it could just be us.. but it didn't cost extra so its ok too - have to force us to talk to folks.
