Richard...I am sorry to hear of your aprehension over your upcoming PG cruise. You have been quite a stalwart for Radisson for as long as I have been reading here and CC. I also am among many that are concerned about the changes at RSSC. When I started on RSSC I thought it was easy money to get $200 credit for booking/deposit on the same day....now that is no more. I could use that "free" money to make an on-board deposit for another cruise....no more. Where is my overnight at LAX to Tahiti?...no more. Now I have a bitch'n 18 hour Friday from Colorado Springs (southwest zone) ...just because they can fly us from DIA to LAX at 6am.
Great memories of 3 years ago bring great expectations for the future but businesses change, and not always for our betterment. I hope you can figure out for yourself if things have changed too much for your comfort before your final payment, (hopefully we PIP'sters can help) but there is alot of water under the bridge between 119 days and 2 days out before your cruise. Things may change yet again, but I would not let the recent, what I perceive to be "high maintanence" types on CC cloud your judgement. Ngaire has forgotten more than we know about RSSC and I believe her remarks above to be spot on, there is more to those stories over at CC. Her judgement certainly carries alot of weight with my decision.

ColonelWes just came back from PG recently and said it was fantastic. All of our 6 RSSC cruises have been great so we took his advice and booked Navigator next Jan. We fully expect to have the same wonderful experience as before and until personally (or as Olivia has said, someone with credibility) proves differently, we will continue with RSSC.
