Does anyone know on which sailing this occurred? I wonder if there was one of the frequent half day dock workers strike that the ship was trying to avoid? Otherwise, the only other explaination is, in fact, gross negligence by the crew.

edited to add:

It is reports like this along with Fred and Pat being locked out of the main dining room that should lead to Regent's backing away from PG once they get their next ship. I also saw that Air New Zealand is dropping most all service to PPT. Has French Polynesia, with all the problems and hassles, lost it's edge?
